What Busy Users Say
Real feedback from Busy Accounting users across review platforms.
"Even more dated UI than Tally. Feels like software from the 2000s. Windows-only, no mobile, no Mac."
Neosell: Modern, responsive UI with Light, Dark and Elderly themes. Works on any device — phone, tablet, laptop, Mac or Windows.
"Smaller ecosystem than Tally. Hard to find trained professionals. Always playing catch-up."
Neosell: Intuitive design means no training needed. Most users are comfortable within 1-2 days. Hindi language and WhatsApp support included.
"Limited support from a smaller company. When something breaks, you're on your own."
Neosell: Direct WhatsApp support + in-app tickets. No dealer dependency. Free updates forever with automatic cloud deployment.
Frequently Asked Questions
Yes. Busy allows Excel/CSV exports for masters and transactions. You can import your products, customers, and suppliers into Neosell via CSV/Excel upload. Our team can also help with migration for Professional and above plans.
Busy Enterprise costs ₹29,400 one-time, plus 20-25% AMC yearly. But Busy is only accounting — no POS, no store, no WhatsApp. Add a separate POS, online store, WhatsApp tool, and HR software and you're paying ₹80,000–1,40,000+ per year. Neosell Professional at ₹19,990/year includes all of these.
Neosell focuses on retail operations — POS, inventory, purchases, customer management, and sales analytics. For full double-entry accounting (P&L, balance sheet, journal entries), you may still want a dedicated accounting tool. However, Neosell's reports cover most day-to-day retail financial needs, and GST compliance is fully built in.
Yes. Neosell's POS works fully offline — billing, barcode scanning, customer lookup. Data automatically syncs when internet is back. Unlike Busy, you can also access your data from any device when online, not just one Windows PC.
Absolutely. Neosell works on any device with a browser — Android phones, iPhones, tablets, laptops, Macs. Staff can check-in via face recognition, view attendance, salary history, and more from their phone. Busy is limited to Windows desktops only.
