Checked against TMBill's own website on
TMBill does not publish a price list. Its website offers a demo and a call-back instead of a pricing page, so the price depends on what you discuss with its sales team. Third-party listing sites quote a range of figures; we don't repeat them because TMBill hasn't published them.
When you ask for a quote, get the yearly software fee per outlet, any setup or training fee, and hardware (billing terminal, printers) as separate lines so you can compare like for like.
Restrofi's price is public: ₹699 per outlet per month or ₹6,999 per outlet for the first year (₹8,388 per outlet per year from year 2) for Premium, and the Chain plan from ₹9,999 per month for up to 5 outlets plus ₹1,499 per extra outlet. Prices exclude GST.

When is TMBill the better choice?
An honest comparison cuts both ways. Choose TMBill over Restrofi if:

- You need Gulf delivery-platform integrations such as Talabat or Deliveroo bundled into the plan
- You want accounting, inventory, CRM and feedback modules from one vendor with demo-led onboarding
For most independent and growing Indian restaurants that want QR ordering, KDS, and GST billing without hardware, Restrofi at ₹699/outlet/month is the stronger fit.
