A modern myBillBook alternative
This page is for an optical shop owner who uses myBillBook, or is comparing it with LensVerge, and wants a straight answer about what would change. myBillBook’s optical page describes GST-ready invoices for frames, lenses, contact lenses and accessories, with tax values and discounts; stock tracking for frames, lenses, contact lenses, sunglasses and accessories, with lenses grouped by power range and material; customer prescriptions managed online and linked to the customer’s profile; purchases recorded from frame, lens and accessory suppliers with supplier-wise records; cash, UPI, card and credit payments with pending dues; and sales, purchase, inventory, payment and dues reports. Barcodes come with the Plus plan, and a desktop app and SMS and WhatsApp marketing with Pro. It is used from both PC and mobile. On 13 November 2026 the page listed ₹349 a month (₹3,490 a year billed annually) for the Plus plan, ₹399 a month (₹3,990 a year) for Pro, from ₹570 a month billed annually for Pro Max, and ₹199 a month for a Silver plan on the Android app.
That is a sensible, low-cost billing and stock app, and the price is a real advantage. The difference is how far into optical work it goes. Grouping lenses by power range is not the same as holding a count for each power, and a prescription on a customer profile is not the same as a prescription on the lab’s job card. If billing and purchases are what you need, myBillBook covers them. If lens powers, lab jobs and eye-test recall are where the time goes, that is what LensVerge is built for.

myBillBook vs LensVerge, feature by feature
The myBillBook column is filled only from their published page. Where they do not state something we write “see their site” rather than guess on their behalf.
| Feature | myBillBook | LensVerge |
|---|---|---|
| Deployment | Used from PC and mobile; a desktop app is listed on the Pro plan (their page). | Cloud, in any browser — plus an installable phone/tablet app. Nothing tied to one shop PC. |
| Offline billing | Not stated on the page we read — see their site. | Bills keep printing with the internet down; every sale syncs itself when the line is back. |
| GST tax invoice / Bill of Supply | GST-ready invoices for frames, lenses, contact lenses and accessories (their page). A Bill of Supply for a non-GST shop: see their site. | Both. Your GST mode picks the title and the HSN column; one tick on the bill switches CGST+SGST to IGST. A non-GST shop never sees GST artifacts. |
| WhatsApp + web bookings | SMS and WhatsApp marketing is listed on Pro; customer self-booking for eye tests is not described — see their site. | A WhatsApp booking bot and your own /book link; slots land in the appointments board in IST. |
| Eye-test recall worklists | Prescriptions are stored on the customer profile (their page); an eye-test due list is not described — see their site. | Due-date worklists from the prescription date, plus birthday and festival nudges, with attribution. |
| Loyalty points | Not stated on the page we read — see their site. | Points earned and redeemed at the counter, redemption applied as an invoice discount so GST stays correct (Growth and Pro). |
| SPH×CYL lens power grid | Lenses grouped by power range and material (their page). A count per SPH×CYL power cell is not described — see their site. | Stock held per power cell; the cell and the stock count move together on every sale and every edit. |

| Pricing model | ₹349/month (₹3,490/year) for Plus, ₹399/month (₹3,990/year) for Pro, from ₹570/month billed yearly for Pro Max, ₹199/month for Silver (Android), as shown 13 Nov 2026 — check their site. | Published monthly: ₹499 Starter, ₹999 Growth, ₹3,999 Pro (20% off yearly). 14-day free trial, no card. |
From sign-up to a printed GST invoice
The first session on LensVerge, from creating the shop to printing a GST invoice on a thermal printer.
What carries over when you switch
Nobody wants to relearn the counter. The three workflows your staff use every hour — GST billing, inventory and prescriptions — work the way they already expect.
GST invoices, payments and dues
A GST-registered shop prints a Tax Invoice with HSN on every line, CGST and SGST in state and IGST across states; a composition or unregistered shop prints a Bill of Supply instead. Take cash, UPI, card, a split, an advance against a job, or put the balance on credit: credit is tracked as money owed to you, not money received, so the day’s collection figure stays honest.
Supplier purchases and what you owe
On Growth and Pro, a supplier bill typed once adds the stock, updates each item’s average cost and records what you owe that supplier. Each supplier has a statement with a running balance, and the owner records payments against open bills. A photo of the bill sent on WhatsApp opens as a draft for you to check before it is posted. On Starter, stock comes in with Stock → Adjust.
PC and phone, online or off
LensVerge runs in any browser and installs to the home screen on Android and iOS, so the counter PC, a tablet and the owner’s phone all show the same shop. Billing keeps going offline and syncs when the line is back.
What changes downstream of the sale
This is the part that is different, and it is the reason shops move: what happens in the weeks after the bill is printed.
A count for every power, not a range
A stocked single-vision lens holds a count for each SPH and CYL combination. Selling −2.00/−0.75 moves that cell and the lens total together, so the screen tells you exactly which power has run out. A manual adjustment on a gridded lens is refused, so the grid stays the record.
Prescriptions on the job card
SPH, CYL, AXIS, ADD, VA and PD with checks as they are typed, a transpose button, and an axis required whenever there is a cylinder. The prescription is attached to the bill and printed on the job card the lab works from, so the fitter never copies it by hand.
The workshop and repairs
Order and repair boards with the lab’s name, the expected date and printable job cards, and a "ready for pickup" WhatsApp message that quotes the reference the customer can see.
Bookings and recall
Customers book eye tests on WhatsApp or on your own booking link. Recall lists show who is due for a test today, are logged so nobody is messaged twice, and credit the visit when they come back and buy.
Backups you keep
Daily automatic backups plus a Backup Now file you download and keep yourself, on Growth and Pro.
Migration: what it actually takes
Plainly: there is no myBillBook importer, and LensVerge has no self-serve data import today.
If you can export your items and customers as Excel or CSV, send the files to us on WhatsApp during your 14-day trial and we will look at them with you and load what we can. Otherwise, enter live stock once, print labels the same afternoon, and let the customer list build from real footfall.
For suppliers, enter what you owe each one as an opening balance when you start, then post new supplier bills in LensVerge from that day on.
