What It Is

mazu is a GST invoicing and billing management SaaS product from BUSY Infotech Pvt. Ltd., built for Indian MSMEs, small merchants, and freelancers. It covers workflows such as GST invoices, e-way bills, e-invoices, quotations, pro forma invoices, delivery challans, payment collection, and inventory. The product emphasizes fast document sharing via WhatsApp or Email, and is available on Web, Android, and iOS.

Core Features and Collaboration

The product is centered on Indian tax compliance: GSTIN auto-fill, HSN validation, e-way bills, e-invoices, GST-compliant templates, and other localized features. The Growth plan further adds AI Voucher Scan, online payments, automated payment reminders, smart bank reconciliation, cash-flow forecasting, inventory restocking reminders, and 50+ reports. For teams, the free plan supports only 1 user, while Growth allows additional users as paid add-ons and includes role-based access control, user activity tracking, collaborative invoicing, shared inventory, and team reports.

Pricing and Free Plan

The free plan costs ₹0 forever and includes 100 invoices per month plus 10 uses per month for several other document types, making it suitable for lightweight invoicing needs. Growth costs ₹250/month or ₹2,500/year, supports unlimited invoicing, and unlocks more automation, payment, and reporting features. Extra users cost ₹250/month or ₹2,000/year. First-time annual purchases come with a 7-day full refund. Overall, the pricing is quite friendly for small and micro businesses in India.

Integrations, Security, and Deployment

Disclosed integrations include WhatsApp, Email, sending via Google OAuth, UPI/QR/bank transfer/payment links, and bulk import from Excel. Deployment is cloud-based SaaS with mobile support; data is stored online, so users can log in and recover access if a device is damaged. On security, mazu mentions cloud servers, Google Drive and local backups, user ownership of data, and Google API Limited Use. However, no third-party certifications such as ISO or SOC were found, and there is no disclosed open API or Webhook.

Pros, Cons, and Best Fit

Its strengths are a usable free plan, focused GST compliance features, mobile access, and WhatsApp sharing that match how Indian merchants work. The paid plan also offers strong value for money. Limitations include some advanced features still marked as Coming soon, limited information on APIs and compliance certifications, and a strong dependency on India’s tax system. It is well suited to Indian freelancers, small shops, restaurants, retailers, jewelry stores, apparel businesses, transport companies, and service providers. Chinese companies that need local tax-control systems, e-fapiao, and RMB payments should first consider alternatives such as Kingdee Jingdou Cloud, Yonyou Chanjet, or Guanjiapo Cloud. Availability for access and payment from China is not stated, so it is considered unknown.
