This is worth spelling out precisely rather than leaving as a compliance buzzword, because a Schedule H1 register is the record an inspector asks to see. Nesayo logs Schedule H1 sales automatically at billing: date, medicine, batch, quantity and bill number, with the patient and prescriber names entered on the bill. Nesayo does not record the prescriber's address yet, so the pharmacist adds it to complete the Rule 65(3)(h) register. Separately, every schedule change on your own medicines is recorded with who made it.
The same question is worth putting to any vendor, including us: which of the Rule 65(3)(h) particulars — the prescriber's name and address, the patient's name, the name of the drug and the quantity — does the software fill from the sale itself, and which does the pharmacist still write? "Has a register" and "fills the register from the sale" are different claims, and a short demo of one real H1 sale answers it faster than any comparison page.
A fair amount of this comparison says "not publicly documented" rather than a definitive "no" — worth being upfront about what that phrase actually means and doesn't mean. It means the claimed feature doesn't appear on Magnus's public site or listings as of when this page was last reviewed; it does not mean the feature is confirmed absent, since some vendors keep deeper feature detail behind a sales conversation rather than a public page. The fair reading is: if a feature matters enough to be a deciding factor, ask the vendor directly rather than trusting either side's comparison page to have the complete picture.
What the pattern does reliably signal is something about the sales model itself: pricing and detailed features gated behind a phone call or dealer conversation, rather than published for anyone to check in two minutes, are both markers of software sold primarily through relationship-based regional distribution rather than self-serve discovery. That's neither better nor worse on its own, but it does mean the actual evaluation process looks different — expect a conversation before a real answer, not a page you can read alone and decide from.
Switch if you want billing on a phone or tablet, voice billing in Hindi or Hinglish, photo-prescription scanning, and 5 autonomous AI agents working overnight on expiry, refills, stock, and payments — none of which Magnus publicly documents. Stay on Magnus if your counter staff is heavily trained on its keyboard shortcuts and retraining cost outweighs the upgrade. You can run Nesayo in parallel for a week before fully switching.
Yes if you can export your stock from Magnus as CSV or Excel. Nesayo accepts CSV and Excel uploads, auto-detects common expiry formats (MM/YY, MMM-YY, DD.MM.YYYY, ISO), and maps medicines against its 2,54,034-medicine catalogue. If a Magnus-specific export tool is not available, you can export via the standard stock report and upload that.
Not publicly documented as of 2026 on the vendor's public site. Magnus is positioned as a desktop/cloud pharmacy ERP with standard billing, inventory, and reporting. Nesayo ships 5 named AI agents and Hindi/English/Hinglish voice billing as part of the Full tier.
Magnus does not publicly list its pricing — it is quoted by sales on request, typically as an annual licence plus AMC. As of October 2026, Nesayo billing is free forever, the Full tier is ₹549/month, Essential is ₹249/month, and Chain is ₹2,999/month + ₹999/month per additional store. Run Nesayo free in parallel for a week and compare against your current Magnus invoice before deciding.
Yes. The Chain tier at ₹2,999/month + ₹999/month per additional store (as of October 2026) is built for multi-location pharmacy chains with consolidated reporting and role-based access. Magnus also offers multi-branch capability via its enterprise modules; specific module pricing is not publicly documented.
