Frequently asked questions

Should I switch from GoFrugal to Nesayo?

Yes, for standalone and 2-3 branch retail pharmacies. Nesayo is pharmacy-first (medicine database, Schedule H1, FEFO, voice billing, AI agents) with free billing and an optional ₹999/month AI Employee; GoFrugal is a horizontal retail ERP where pharmacy is one vertical at an enterprise quote. Stay on GoFrugal if: you run a hybrid retail business (pharmacy + supermarket + another vertical) where horizontal ERP is worth the price.

Is GoFrugal better for established pharmacies with complex accounting?

Yes — GoFrugal has a stronger built-in accounting module (AP/AR ledger, supplier statements) that Nesayo does not yet match. If your pharmacy has full-time accounts staff running reports daily, GoFrugal's depth is real. For smaller operators who export to their CA monthly, Nesayo's cloud simplicity + lower cost wins.

Does GoFrugal support voice billing?

Not as of April 2026. GoFrugal pharmacy documentation does not list voice billing. Nesayo supports voice billing in 10 Indian languages.

Which is cheaper over 5 years?

Nesayo billing is free forever (₹0), while GoFrugal Starter is ₹8,999/year plus typical add-on modules bringing it to ~₹12,000-18,000/year, or ₹60,000-90,000 over 5 years. Even adding Nesayo's optional AI Employee (₹9,990/year × 5 = ₹49,950) keeps you below GoFrugal's 5-year total while adding voice billing + 5 AI agents GoFrugal doesn't offer — and the AI Employee pays for itself by preventing ₹15,000-30,000/month in expiry and lost refills.

Can GoFrugal users migrate to Nesayo?

Yes. GoFrugal supports Excel/CSV export of stock and customers. Nesayo's ingestion pipeline auto-detects column mapping and expiry formats. Accounting ledger migration requires manual setup (we export to your CA format instead of preserving historical vouchers).

Does GoFrugal have AI agents?

GoFrugal offers rules-based alerts and scheduled reports but no named autonomous AI agents. Nesayo has 5 Claude-powered agents (Morning Briefing, Expiry Guard, Refill Radar, Stock Sense, Payment Advisor) that run on schedule and generate natural-language summaries.
