Decorics vs Excel, and the other options.

Most studios start on Excel and WhatsApp. When that stops working, here's how Decorics compares with it and with Dzylo, interix.studio, Vyapar, Refrens and Khatabook, from each product's own pages.

The short answerAs of 20 Oct 2026
Stay on Excel and WhatsApp if

you send a few quotations a month and don't mind typing totals, chasing versions and tracking payments by hand.

Choose Decorics if

you want room-wise quotations with three fee options, sent as a link, and invoices, receipts and project money in the same place.

Choose an interior ERP like Dzylo if

you run a team that needs procurement, inventory and a login for each person.

Choose Vyapar, Refrens or Khatabook if

you need full accounting, stock and GST filing more than interior-specific quotations.

Side by side, as each product describes itself.

“Not stated” means we couldn't find it on their own pages, not that it's missing. Prices are as shown on 20 Oct 2026; sources are at the foot of the page.

Where each one is better than Decorics.

What Decorics doesn't do.

If any of these matters more than room-wise quotations, one of the products above will suit you better.

  • Accounting and inventory

    No ledgers, stock or GST returns. Keep your accountant's software for those.

  • Team accounts

    One login per studio today. If three people each need their own, Dzylo, Vyapar or Refrens do that.

  • Excel import or export

    Your rates go in by hand, once. The free Excel formats are separate files.

  • A phone app

    It's a website that works in your phone's browser. There's nothing to install.

  • Card payments

    Upgrading to Pro is a WhatsApp conversation, not a checkout.

  • Your own domain

    Your portfolio lives at decorics.com/your-name.
