Two different approaches to Indian cheque printing — one cloud-based and free, one offline and a one-time purchase. Here's an honest, fact-checked look at both.
ChequeGuru (by chequeprintingsoftware.com) is a well-established, offline, one-time-purchase cheque printing tool for Windows. ChequePrint is a cloud-based alternative built for teams that need to print cheques from more than one computer or location. Neither is objectively "better" — they're built for different situations. Below is a factual comparison based on ChequeGuru's own public website, so you can pick the right one.
| Feature | ChequePrint | ChequeGuru |

| Pricing | Free (billing not yet enabled) | ₹999 one-time, 15-day free trial |
| Access | Cloud — any browser, any device, plus a Windows desktop app | Windows desktop only |
| Works offline | No — needs internet | Yes — day-to-day use is fully offline |
| Where your data lives | Cloud, backed up automatically | Locally on your machine |
| Multi-user / team access | Yes — real-time, role-based (owner/admin/member) | Multi-user support on one machine |
| Pre-configured bank templates | 21 banks + a built-in designer for any other bank | 100+ banks + custom alignment engine |
| Bulk printing | Yes — CSV import | Yes — Excel import |
| Post-dated cheque tracking | Yes, with email alerts | Yes |
| Accounting export | Tally & Busy export | GST-ready voucher generation |
| RBI Positive Pay (PPS) letters | Yes — auto-emailed to the bank branch | Not publicly listed on their site |
| Stop-payment request letters | Yes — auto-emailed to the bank branch | Not publicly listed on their site |
| Payee self-service portal | Yes | Not publicly listed on their site |
| Audit trail | Yes | Yes — user-action logging |
Based on ChequeGuru's publicly listed features and pricing as of September 2026. "Not publicly listed" means we couldn't confirm it from their site — not that they don't have it. ChequePrint is not affiliated with or endorsed by ChequeGuru/chequeprintingsoftware.com.
You print cheques from one computer, want to pay once and never again, and prefer your data to never touch the internet.
More than one person needs to print or approve cheques, you want RBI Positive Pay/stop-payment letters handled automatically, or you'd rather not pay anything upfront.
It's genuinely free to use right now — paid plans exist in the product but billing hasn't been switched on yet. There's no hidden trial period or forced upgrade.
No — ChequePrint is a cloud app, so it needs an internet connection, unlike ChequeGuru which is designed to work offline day-to-day. If offline use is a hard requirement, ChequeGuru's approach fits that better.
ChequePrint supports CSV import for bulk cheque data, so existing records exported from another tool can generally be brought in — export your data from ChequeGuru first, then match the columns to ChequePrint's CSV import format.
We built ChequePrint, so yes — read this with that in mind. Every ChequeGuru feature listed here comes directly from their own public website, and we've deliberately included their genuine advantages (one-time pricing, offline use, local-only data) rather than only listing where we win.
