MyMBill vs TallyPrime: Why Chemist Shops Need Specialized ERP
Generic accounting vs specialized pharmacy management: which is right for your store?
Executive Summary & Verdict
TallyPrime is an outstanding general accounting package for accountants and CAs, but it was never built for rapid retail pharmacy counters. It lacks a pre-loaded medicine master, requires manual batch expiry setup, doesn't support salt generic substitutes, and has no native AI purchase import. MyMBill gives chemist shops the dedicated pharmaceutical workflows they need daily.

| Automated FEFO Expiry Logic | Automatic batch deduction during billing | Manual batch selection required |
