Giddh

Giddh is cloud accounting software for small and medium-sized businesses that want bookkeeping and inventory in one system. It suits organizations that need shared access across a team, but the paid plan’s transaction cap makes volume an important buying consideration.

Overview

Giddh combines ledger-based accounting, invoicing, and expense management with inventory, bank reconciliation, multi-currency support, and tax tools. That breadth can reduce the need to split routine finance and stock work across separate products. Financial reports, bank-feed sync, sales-tax tools, and accountant access round out the core accounting workflow.

Unlimited users are a practical advantage for organizations where employees and accountants need access without seat-based limits. Customizable roles and restrictions by date range and CIDR range add control over who can access the system. The paid plan still caps usage at 10,000 transactions, so unlimited seats do not mean unlimited transaction volume.

Key features

The audit trail records transactions and changes, supporting accountability, error detection, and compliance work. Shopify integration syncs sales, orders, and payments; Giddh’s inventory page also names WooCommerce. Its open, public API and published documentation may help teams connect it with other systems, while the product’s stated AWS infrastructure and encrypted data processing offer security measures to weigh alongside an organization’s own requirements.

Giddh supports web, Windows and Mac desktop apps, and Android and iOS mobile apps. That range gives teams options for working across desktop and mobile devices. The advertised “18X6 Instant Support” is a stated support window, not a substitute for assessing whether it aligns with your operating hours.

Pricing

Giddh uses a freemium model with a free plan and a paid plan. Free costs nothing and is for students, teachers, institutes, and coaching centers. It is a narrow fit for those eligible groups rather than a general free tier for every business.

The paid plan costs ₹800 a year, billed INR 800/- per organization/year, and includes 10,000 transactions with unlimited users. That per-organization price avoids per-seat charges, but businesses should check whether their annual transaction volume fits the cap. A free trial is available.

Platforms

Giddh is available on web, Windows, macOS, Android, and iOS, and it publishes API documentation. The range suits teams that need desktop and mobile access or want to explore API connections.

Who it's for

Giddh is best suited to small and medium-sized businesses that want accounting and inventory together, need multiple people—including an accountant—to work in the same system, and can operate within the paid plan’s 10,000-transaction allowance. It is a weaker fit for businesses outside the free plan’s eligible groups that need a free option, or for organizations likely to exceed the paid cap.

Pros and cons

• Pro: Unlimited user access avoids a seat limit for teams and accountants collaborating in the product.
• Pro: Accounting, inventory, reconciliation, reporting, and multi-currency tools cover a broad set of finance workflows in one product.
• Pro: Shopify sales, order, and payment syncing plus an open public API give businesses routes to connect commerce and other systems.
• Con: The paid plan’s 10,000-transaction limit may rule it out for higher-volume organizations, even though users are unlimited.
• Con: The free plan is limited to students, teachers, institutes, and coaching centers, so it is not a broadly available no-cost option for businesses.

Verdict

Choose Giddh if your small or medium-sized business wants accounting, inventory, reconciliation, and reporting under one roof, with unlimited user access and broad platform support. Its strongest case is the combination of shared access and connected finance workflows; look elsewhere if the 10,000-transaction cap is too low or you need a free business plan open to all organizations.
