Quick answer: Marg ERP is pharmacy and accounting software trusted by a very large number of chemists, with full accounting, GST filing and banking built in. OPDly's pharmacy is part of a clinic and hospital system: medicines flow straight from the doctor's prescription to the pharmacy counter, next to the OPD, lab and billing. For a standalone medical store that wants complete accounts in one place, look at Marg. For a pharmacy inside a clinic or hospital, look at OPDly.

Frequently asked questions
Is OPDly cheaper than Marg?
They are priced differently. Marg's pricing page lists editions from ₹5,550 to ₹26,000 plus 18% GST, without saying whether that is one-time or yearly or what maintenance costs. OPDly's pharmacy is ₹9,588 a year plus GST on the Standard plan, including updates, online backup, up to 5 staff logins, and the clinic, lab and billing modules. Compare the total over three years for your number of users.
Can I move my medicine list from Marg to OPDly?
Yes. Export your item list from your current software as Excel or CSV and import it into OPDly using its template, or send it to our team and we will move it for you, free of charge. Re-importing is safe, so nothing is added twice.
Does OPDly do full accounting like Marg?
No. OPDly keeps sales, purchases, stock, supplier dues and GST registers your CA can use, but it is not accounting software. If you need full books and bank reconciliation in the same software, Marg covers that.
Does OPDly work without the internet?
No. OPDly is cloud software and needs an internet connection; mobile data or a phone hotspot is enough. In return there is nothing to install and no backup to take yourself.
