AnkanaGo as a Biz Analyst alternative
Biz Analyst is a well-known Tally-on-mobile app. AnkanaGo is a phone billing counter that runs beside Tally on the shop PC. They overlap on reading your books from a phone and differ on nearly everything else. Here are the facts, so you can choose.

Biz Analyst and AnkanaGo, in one paragraph each
Biz Analyst
A mobile app (Android and iOS) that syncs your Tally data to its cloud and shows dashboards, ledgers, outstanding, sales and stock reports; you can share ledgers and invoices from the app and send payment reminders by SMS or WhatsApp using paid credits. Licensed per mobile device per Tally licence: the Business plan is ₹3,300 a year (list ₹3,600) and each extra device ₹3,000 a year, with 3- and 5-year options and a 7-day trial (as published on bizanalyst.in/pricing, 26 Sep 2026).
AnkanaGo
Software installed beside Tally Prime on the shop PC. Every phone or iPad opens yourshop.ankanago.com and bills, takes receipts and checks stock; each entry posts straight into Tally. Bills and statements go out on the shop's own WhatsApp number as a linked device, free per message; customers' UPI screenshots come back as receipts. Telugu and English throughout. Priced per shop with 2 users and 2 devices included, so the counter phone and the owner's phone are one plan.
Where each one fits better
Biz Analyst may suit you better if
- You mainly want reports and dashboards on the phone, not billing at the counter.
- You want to see the books when the shop PC is off; a cloud copy makes that possible.
- You run several companies across several Tally licences and want them all in one app.
- You prefer an established product with a large user base and app-store apps.
AnkanaGo may suit you better if
- You want to bill from the phone, in bags and kgs, and have it land in Tally and print at the counter.
- You want every bill and statement on WhatsApp from your own number, automatically, at no cost per message.
- Customers pay by UPI and send screenshots, and you want those turned into receipts with your approval.
- You and your staff work in Telugu, and you want the books to stay on the shop PC rather than in a vendor's cloud.
