Billing remains the same for first user and any additional users in the organisation. Each user must register from Web Portal or Mobile App and pay with online or offline mode.
Example:
If you are the first user of your organisation registered on 1st Nov 2020, you will get 30-day free trial till 30th Nov 2020. At any time before 30th November, the user can choose a subscription plan and pay, and subscription for this user will be valid for one year from the date of starting the plan.
If a new user registers on 1st Dec 2020 as an additional user in your organisation, and you can attach him to a company using the Desktop App, he/she will also get a 30-day free trial till 30th Dec 2020. At any time before 30th December, your colleague can choose a subscription plan and pay for the same, and subscription for this additional user will be valid for one year from the date of starting the plan.
Yes, you can upgrade your plan at any time from Mobile Only or Web Only to Web + Mobile App plan. We will calculate your usage in the existing plan and charge only the remaining amount for upgrade.
Example:
If you register on 1st Nov 2020, you will have a 30-day free trial till 30 Nov 2020. When you subscribe to a plan on 1st Dec 2020 e.g. Web Only you will pay accordingly. Your subscription is valid till 30th Nov 2021 (for one year). If you decide to upgrade your Web Only plan to Web + Mobile App Plan on 1st Jan 2020 and pay for the same, we will calculate proportionate usage and charge for the remaining period only.
Web Only Plan – INR 1299 per year which is INR 108.25 per month
Web + Mobile App Plan – INR 1999 per year which is INR 166.5 per month
So, we will calculate usage from the date you choose the subscription which is 1-Dec-2020 till 1-Jan-2021, which is 30 days equals to INR 108.25. So, your pay amount after upgrade is:
1st Dec 2020 to 1st Dec -2021 – Web only – INR 1299
Usage of Web only plan from 1st Dec 2020 to 31st Dec 2020 – 30 days – INR 108.25
1st Jan 2021 to 31st Dec – 2021 – Web + Mobile App – INR 1999
Upgrade Formula = New upgrade amount – (previous plan amount – usage)
Upgrade amount – INR 1999 – (1299 – 108.25) = INR 1999 – 1190.75 = INR 808.25
You can go to Web Portal, and upgrade your plan, and you will be redirected to the payment gateway for the payment as per calculation above.
Please refer to payment section question for more details.
A downgrade is not available. However, changing your plan from Mobile App Only to Web Only or Web Only to Mobile App Only is possible. But downgrading from Web + Mobile App Plan to Mobile App Only or Web Only is not possible.

The Desktop App is not required to run all the time, but it is advisable to keep it running to get the latest data from Tally to your Web and Mobile App. The scheduler built into the Desktop App fetches data automatically at defined intervals and the Mobile App and Web Portal display data updated during last data update.
For data update on cloud, the following is required:
- Scheduler should be set and running
- Tally should be running
- Company(s) should be open in Tally
- Internet should be connected
The last updated data from cloud server is displayed in your Web and Mobile App. If your Desktop App scheduler is set to a shorter frequency, you can see near real-time data on your Web and Mobile App.
SmartenApps for Tally is not available offline. You must be connected to the internet from your mobile device to view your data.

The financial year starts from April, e.g. Financial year 19-20 is from April 1, 2019 to March 31, 2020. There are two options to fetch data in SmartenApps for Tally.
- Extract from a previous year or extract from the current financial year. Based on the selection the SmartenApps Desktop App will fetch the data from Tally. You can keep a maximum of two financial years for data extraction, e.g., if the current month is Dec 2020 and the user chooses to extract from the previous year and current year, The SmartenApps for Tally Desktop App will fetch data from April 2019 through Dec 2020. If the user chooses an extract from current year, the system will fetch data from Apr 2020 through Dec 2020.
- For better performance, users can establish the first-time extraction for the previous year, so the Desktop App will fetch data from Apr 2019 through March 2020. Then the user can change the option to extract from the current year to fetch only from April 2020 through Dec 2020 and keep April 2019 through Mar 2020 as is, so only the current year incremental data will be updated and the user will still see the full data from April 2019 through Dec 2020.
