Which should you choose?

Khatabook: Digital ledger app for recording credit, sending payment reminders and simple billing.

Zoho Books: Cloud accounting from Zoho with GST invoicing, e-way bills, bank feeds and integration with the wider Zoho suite.

The best way to decide is to run the same week of real work through both — most offer a free plan or trial — and compare how long tasks take, what your team prefers, and the total cost for your number of users including renewal pricing.
