Kuver Books vs Swastik: prices, reports and limits published before you call

The short answer

Kuver Books publishes its prices, report names and limits before you call, lets you start a trial yourself, and backs buyers with free guides and tools. Swastik suits a business that wants a long local track record, on-site implementation and a negotiated quote.

Who should choose which

Which one suits your shop

When Kuver Books fits

Kuver Books is cloud software for billing, stock, purchasing and Nepal VAT reporting. Its prices are published, so you can buy without asking for a quote.

  • Prices you can read before you call. Kuver Books publishes its plans in rupees. Swastik sells through enquiry.
  • Guides and tools for buyers. Guides, a glossary, calculators and templates on VAT, TDS and the fiscal year.
  • A trial you start yourself. 14 days with no card, set up with you.
See the plans

When Swastik is the better choice

Swastik, from Hi-Tech Nepal, has served Nepali businesses for years and states on its site that it is listed by the Inland Revenue Department.

  • You want a vendor with a long local track record and an office you can visit.
  • You need on-site implementation and training rather than self-serve setup.
  • You need modules outside billing, stock and VAT reporting.
  • A negotiated quote suits your buying process better than a published plan.

Switching

Moving from Swastik, in three steps

Keep billing in Swastik until your stock and balances check out in Kuver Books, then switch.

  1. Save what you have

    Export your items, customers, suppliers and opening balances from Swastik to a spreadsheet.

  2. Bring it in

    Import 10 sets of records through the four-step import. Ledgers stay in your old books as the archive.

  3. Bill the same day

    Guided setup with your own items; your workspace is ready the same business day.

What is different

Most of this comparison is about what a buyer can check. On hitechnepal.com.np on 2026-09-12 there was no published price, no trial term, no report list and no blog or guide section, and the site states that the software is listed by the Inland Revenue Department. Swastik has a long local track record, and for many businesses a visit to the vendor’s office counts for more than a web page. But if you want to compare before you enquire, there is little to compare against, so every Swastik cell in the table above says what was checked and when.

Kuver Books publishes the details you would otherwise have to ask for:

  • the plan prices in rupees
  • the product and invoice limits
  • the 32 report names, grouped as sales, purchase, VAT and inventory
  • the AI bill scanning limits: up to five photos a batch, 20 MB each, in PNG or JPEG
  • unlimited warehouses on every plan
  • a single branch on paid plans, with multi-branch on Enterprise

On compliance, we state only what the software does. Kuver Books is built to meet the IRD Electronic Billing Procedure 2074. Invoice numbers are sequential and never reused, a reprint is marked as a copy with the reprint count printed and stored, and cancellations are tracked. The activity log covers every create, edit, approve and void, and the guided fiscal-year close locks the closed year read-only. Kuver Books is listed by the IRD under that procedure, and our IRD page links to the IRD’s own list instead of showing a badge.

Day to day, purchasing runs from purchase order to goods received note, purchase bill and debit note. Stock is kept by batch and valued by FIFO or weighted average cost. Warehouse transfers are recorded as requisitions, stock issues and stock in transit. Credit limits warn the counter when a customer’s udhaaro goes over the limit. A connected online store is included with every plan and sells from the same stock you bill from at the counter.

Kuver Books has limits too. It does not keep ledger accounts or post journal entries, so a business that needs a full set of accounts keeps its accountant and their software. There are no live bank connections in Nepal, so bank entries are recorded by hand against a bank account you set up. Restaurants get counter billing and thermal receipts but no table or kitchen workflow, and manufacturers get batches, costing and purchasing but no recipe or production module.

Price (checked 2026-09-12)

Kuver Books starts at NPR 1,500/month, billed in rupees with VAT added, and yearly billing costs less than twelve monthly payments. There is a 14-day free trial, no card required with no card, so you can test with your own data. Swastik published no price on 2026-09-12. When you ask for a quote, ask what the annual renewal costs, whether extra users or locations are charged, and what happens to your data if you stop paying.

If you are moving from Swastik

Request an export of item masters, customers, suppliers, opening stock and outstanding balances. Put each dataset on its own sheet with a single header row, import the ten datasets through the 4-step wizard, then check stock per warehouse and party balances against your own closing figures. Ledgers do not import, so keep the old system readable as an archive. Raise a few bills in parallel before switching, and time the move near Asar end if you can.

Kuver Books vs Swastik: questions

Swastik shows an IRD listing badge. What does Kuver Books say?
We say what we can evidence. Kuver Books is listed by the IRD under the Electronic Billing Procedure 2074, and our IRD page links to the IRD's own list rather than showing a badge. Ask any vendor, including us, to show you their entry on that list.
Why can I not see a Swastik price in the table?
Because none was published on hitechnepal.com.np when we checked on 2026-09-12. A cell marked Not published means we could not check it, which is different from Swastik not having it. Ask them for a written quote that separates licence, implementation and annual support, then compare the three-year total with a plan price.
We are a pharmacy. Does batch and expiry tracking work here?
Yes. Batches are created when a goods received note or purchase bill is approved, sales lines draw from a chosen batch, and the inventory hub reports what is near expiry at 30, 60 and 90 days, so you can sell that stock before it expires and has to be written off.
How long does setup take?
Setup is guided and your workspace is ready the same business day. The work after that is yours and ours together: importing products, customers and suppliers, entering opening stock and opening balances, then checking the totals before you bill.

A free trial with your items imported is the fairest comparison there is.
