Own360 vs Tally
Outgrowing Tally? Keep the perpetual licence, add the rest of the business.
TallyPrime is already a perpetual licence that runs on your own machines, so the case for moving is not cost alone. OwnBooks keeps accounts on your infrastructure and shares one ledger with procurement, payroll, expenses and the rest of Own360.
Side by side
| Own360 | Tally | |
|---|---|---|
| Licensing | Perpetual licence (CapEx), or a managed subscription (OpEx). No per-user accounting fees. | Perpetual: Silver ₹22,500 (one user) or Gold ₹67,500 (unlimited users on a local network), plus 18% GST [1]. |
| Yearly costs | Nothing to renew for the licence you own. | TSS renewal after the first year: ₹4,500 a year for Silver, ₹13,500 for Gold, plus GST. Without TSS, statutory updates stop [1]. |
| Where data lives | On your servers, accessed from the browser by the whole team. | On the computer running TallyPrime. Remote access needs the paid Cloud Access add-on or TallyPrime Server (₹2,70,000 plus GST) [2][3]. |
| Statutory compliance | GST and TDS checks run inside every transaction flow. | GST and statutory features, kept current while TSS is active [1]. |
| Scope | One ledger shared with OwnERP (procurement and inventory), OwnHRMS (payroll), OwnExpense and 23 OwnApps. | Accounting and inventory, with other functions in separate tools. |
| Insight | AI trend detection across order-to-cash and procure-to-pay, with live cash position and AR/AP aging in one view. | Built-in reports inside TallyPrime. |
When Own360 is the better fit
Several teams need the books at once
Accounts, procurement, HR and leadership work from one ledger in the browser, without remote-access add-ons.
Payroll, purchasing and expenses live in other tools
One model removes the re-keying between Tally, payroll software and spreadsheets.
You want the licence to stay an asset
You keep buying outright, as with Tally, but for the whole stack instead of one module.
When Tally may still suit you
You are a small business with one or two people on accounts, where TallyPrime Silver is enough. Your auditors and CA firm work only in Tally and you do not want to change that relationship yet.
