Thinking of moving a pharmacy off BitMed? Honest reasons pharmacies switch, when BitMed's tiered pricing still fits, and exactly what the CSV migration involves.

▶ Try the real Nesayo now — 60-sec tourPer the feature comparison, BitMed's Starter plan is ₹999/month for a single store (as of September 2026, per bitmed.in/pricing), with no free-forever tier — only a 30-day trial. Nesayo's free billing tier includes FEFO batch selection and logs Schedule H1 sales at billing, permanently free, with no trial clock.
As of September 2026, bitmed.in's public feature and pricing pages don't list voice billing. Nesayo's voice billing takes Hindi and English (beta, on paid plans from ₹249/month as of October 2026), useful for a counter clerk mid-queue who doesn't want to type.
Not listed on bitmed.in as of September 2026. Nesayo's AI-assisted prescription photo scan reads a photographed prescription into a draft bill.
BitMed's features page lists a daily sales dashboard — useful, but a report someone has to open and read. Nesayo runs five named agents (Morning Briefing, Expiry Guard, Refill Radar, Stock Sense, Payment Advisor) on a schedule, without anyone asking them to.
Neither is listed on bitmed.in as of September 2026. Nesayo exports sales/purchase vouchers to Tally, and sends distributor purchase orders with a WhatsApp confirmation link per PO.

Before you make an account, see the Nesayo home page tour and open Shelf: the sample pharmacy shows batch quantities and expiry dates together.
BitMed already has FEFO batch selection and an automatic Schedule H1 register, per bitmed.in/features — unlike a generic billing tool, it isn't missing the pharmacy-specific compliance core. If those are the only features your shop needs and BitMed's pricing already works for your budget, switching costs effort for a smaller gain than it would from non-pharmacy software.
BitMed's tiered plans (Starter / Professional / Enterprise) scale by store count with a central product master from the Professional plan up, per bitmed.in/pricing as of September 2026 — a multi-store chain that wants that specific structure may find it a cleaner fit to budget against than evaluating paid AI plans.
BitMed offers a 30-day trial with no credit card required. If you haven't tested FEFO and H1-register behaviour against your own stock yet, that trial is a reasonable way to do it — and you can run it alongside a free Nesayo signup at no cost either way.
Use BitMed's own stock/inventory export to produce a CSV or Excel file of your current stock, including whatever batch and expiry fields it carries. Keep the raw file before changing anything.
5-10 minutesNesayo's stock import reads CSV, TSV and Excel files and matches columns by what the header means, not an exact template. Since BitMed already tracks batch and expiry, those fields carry straight across; Nesayo's catalogue fills in anything missing — manufacturer, HSN, GST, a schedule hint — for names it recognises, and keeps everything your file already states exactly as exported.
2-5 minutes to upload; a few minutes to parse and matchRows the importer can't confidently place are held for manual review. This is also where Schedule H1 medicines get their register flag confirmed — nothing unverifiable defaults to over-the-counter.
15-30 minutes depending on catalogue sizeBill normal traffic through Nesayo while keeping BitMed live as a fallback. Check stock deductions, GST calculation and the Schedule H1 log entries match what you expect before relying on Nesayo alone.
3-7 daysOnce the parallel run checks out, stop billing on BitMed and move fully to Nesayo. Keep BitMed access for a few weeks for historical records — GST requires 6 years of sales records; D&C Rule 65 requires 2 years for general sale records and 3 years for the Schedule H1 register (Rule 65(3)(h)).
1 day, plus a retention window on the old systemFor billing, yes — Nesayo's billing tier is free forever, while BitMed's cheapest plan is ₹999/month for one store (as of September 2026, per bitmed.in/pricing). If you add Nesayo's optional Full plan at ₹549/month (as of October 2026), the price is below BitMed's Starter plan, and it adds voice billing, prescription photo scan and five autonomous agents that aren't listed on BitMed's site.
No stock or billing history is deleted as part of switching. Keep your BitMed account accessible after cutover for record retention rather than closing it immediately: GST requires 6 years of sales records, and D&C Rule 65 requires 2 years for general sale records and 3 years for the Schedule H1 register (Rule 65(3)(h)).
No. Nesayo's import reads CSV, TSV and Excel files and matches columns by what the header means, so BitMed's own export works without reformatting. Since BitMed already tracks batch and expiry, those carry across directly.
Every imported medicine goes through Nesayo's own classification: a known Schedule H1 salt or pattern is flagged automatically, and anything the importer can't confidently classify defaults to Schedule H (prescription-required), never to over-the-counter. You'll confirm a small number of borderline items by hand.
Nesayo's Chain plan (₹2,999/month plus ₹999 per extra pharmacy as of October 2026, by invitation) puts multiple stores under one owner account. BitMed's Professional and Enterprise plans specifically add a central product master across stores at ₹1,999-3,999/month depending on store count (per bitmed.in/pricing). If that exact structure fits your budgeting, it's a reasonable reason to stay — see "when to stay" above.
Yes — sign up for the free billing tier, import a copy of your BitMed stock export during your free first month of Full, and run a parallel week before deciding. Every new pharmacy also gets the Full plan free for its first month, with no card, so you can compare it against BitMed's 30-day trial on your own schedule.
Its tiered plans (Starter / Professional / Enterprise) scale cleanly by store count with a published price at each tier, and it offers a 30-day free trial with no credit card. If a straightforward per-store price ladder matters more to you than paid AI assistance, that's a genuine reason to stay — see "when to stay" above.
Not as of September 2026, per bitmed.in's public feature and pricing pages — neither is listed. Nesayo supports voice billing in Hindi and English (beta, on paid plans from ₹249/month as of October 2026) and AI-assisted prescription photo scanning. It's worth checking BitMed directly before deciding, since vendors update their sites.
Check any medicine's Schedule (H1/H/X), look up its HSN code and GST rate, or decode a printed expiry date — nesayo.com/tools.
