SadaHisab alternative for pharmacies: 5 options with no big setup fee (2026)

A SadaHisab alternative is what pharmacy owners look for when three things about SadaHisab do not fit a medical store. It runs only in the cloud, so the counter stops when the internet does. Every plan starts with a one-time setup fee "from 40,000 PKR". And expiry tracking only comes with its Professional plan, at Rs 6,000 a month, while its cheaper plans allow one user.

Here are five alternatives, each checked on its own website on 27 September 2026, that answer at least one of those three.

What to look for instead

• Billing with no internet, on the shop PC.
• Batch and expiry tracking on the entry plan, not only on the top one.
• No big setup fee before you have billed a single customer.
• Enough users for the counter and the owner without paying per head.
• FBR included, if you are a Tier-1 retailer.

MediPOS: offline, with expiry on every plan and no setup fee

MediPOS is built only for pharmacies and medical stores, by Innobrains Technologies in Jhang.

• Offline: the Offline edition runs on the shop's Windows PC and its counter PCs, with no internet needed for daily work.
• Expiry on every plan: batch and expiry on every purchase, the earliest expiry sold first, and expired batches blocked at the counter.
• No setup fee: Offline Basic is Rs 12,000 a year for 3 users and 2 PCs. Cloud Basic is Rs 2,500 a month.
• More: 45,000+ DRAP medicines preloaded, distributor schemes in the landed cost, udhaar with credit limits, FBR in every plan, and a 14-day free trial.

The full head-to-head: MediPOS vs SadaHisab.

The five against SadaHisab

First-year cost for one pharmacy

• SadaHisab Professional (the first plan with expiry tracking): Rs 72,000 plus a setup fee from Rs 40,000, so Rs 112,000 or more.
• MediPOS Offline Basic: Rs 12,000, with expiry tracking and three users.
• Mint POS Solo, billed yearly: Rs 29,988.
• Posify Solo, yearly: Rs 25,000.

When SadaHisab is still the right choice

SadaHisab may still be the better fit in a few cases. If the same company runs other kinds of business and wants one cloud ERP with accounts for all of them, it covers more than a pharmacy program. If you charge Punjab sales tax on services, its PRA integration matters. And if your internet is steady and several people need the accounts from different places, a cloud ERP is convenient. For a medical store whose counter must keep billing through load-shedding, one of the offline options above fits better.

Switching from SadaHisab without losing data

Export your products, stock, customers and suppliers from SadaHisab to Excel, save them as CSV, and import them into the new system before you stop the old one. MediPOS checks every row before saving and tells you what to fix. The steps: moving from old pharmacy software to MediPOS.
