Support turned a small setup problem into a three week saga. Part payments against dollar invoices created rounding differences our accountant had to journal away.
Cons
Support out of its depth on forex

The move up from Simple Start took ten minutes and bill management justified it by the end of the week. Three users each have their own login and the audit trail shows who did what. For a service business with suppliers to pay, this is the right plan.
Pros
Seamless upgrade from Simple Start
Cons
Multi currency rounding needs watching

Happy with the bills side, ambivalent about the rest. No stock at this level, so our small product line lives in a spreadsheet next to it. The upgrade from Simple Start kept every scrap of history, flip a switch and the features appear.
Pros
Fair rand pricing for what it adds; vAT figures reconcile cleanly
Cons
Time entry is very basic

We are a 5 person services firm and Essentials fits us like it was measured. The Standard Bank feed has behaved itself for us, next morning delivery like clockwork.

We are a 8 person services firm and Essentials fits us like it was measured. Reports cover the essentials well: aged creditors, aged debtors, profit and loss by month. VAT at 15% flows through everything and the return figures reconcile first time. Worth every rand of the step up.
Pros
Fair rand pricing for what it adds

Switched from a desktop package in May and the cloud move was less painful than feared. Our creditors book has never been this clean.

Good value with an asterisk or two. Support chat is fine for simple questions and out of its depth past that.
Pros
Seamless upgrade from Simple Start; time entry against customers
Cons
Time entry is very basic

Fine software, but the upgrade nudges toward Plus are constant. No stock at this level, so our small product line lives in a spreadsheet next to it. The bank feed needed reconnecting three times this year, always at busy moments.
Pros
Aged creditors and debtors reports; time entry against customers
Cons
Constant upsell nudges toward Plus

Good value with an asterisk or two. Some settings pages clearly assume an American business and need translating. The Nedbank feed has behaved itself for us, next morning delivery like clockwork.
Pros
Time entry against customers

Everything my invoicing clerk captures I can review from home the same evening. Time entries land against customers so nothing billable slips through anymore.
Pros
AI cleanup catches odd transactions; time entry against customers
Cons
Project profitability lives in Plus

Fine software, but the upgrade nudges toward Plus are constant. Some settings pages clearly assume an American business and need translating. Time entry is basic, no timers or approvals, just manual capture.
Cons
Time entry is very basic

The essentials are here, some of the conveniences are not. No stock at this level, so our small product line lives in a spreadsheet next to it. Support chat is fine for simple questions and out of its depth past that.
Cons
Multi currency rounding needs watching

Switched from a desktop package in August and the cloud move was less painful than feared. The Standard Bank feed has behaved itself for us, next morning delivery like clockwork.
Pros
Bill management with payment scheduling; recurring bills post automatically
Cons
Time entry is very basic

The currency features sold us and then let us down in the details. Chat support contradicted the help article and neither matched the actual screen.
Cons
Feed drops duplicated weeks of data. Tier gaps engineered to force upgrades

The currency features sold us and then let us down in the details. Exchange rates update on their timetable, not the reserve bank's, and the differences add up.
Cons
Currency rounding created audit work
Zodwa Le Roux
Office Manager

The currency features sold us and then let us down in the details. Exchange rates update on their timetable, not the reserve bank's, and the differences add up. The feed dropped in July and reconnecting duplicated a fortnight of transactions.
Cons
Tier gaps engineered to force upgrades

We bill in rand and dollars and the gains and losses report keeps our accountant happy at year end. Our accountant reviews everything remotely and quarter end became a non event.
Pros
Recurring bills post automatically; aged creditors and debtors reports
Estelle Williams

The gap between this and Plus feels engineered to force the upgrade. We needed one report the tier does not include and the answer was always upgrade. Part payments against dollar invoices created rounding differences our accountant had to journal away.
Cons
Tier gaps engineered to force upgrades

Fine software, but the upgrade nudges toward Plus are constant. Multi currency works but rounding on part payments needs watching.
Pros
Seamless upgrade from Simple Start

A good plan with a couple of gaps that keep it honest. Some settings pages clearly assume an American business and need translating.
Pros
Three simultaneous users with audit trail
Cons
Some screens feel American by default
