Media & Marketing · 1–10 employees South Africa Used for 1–2 years

Good but not perfect for our Polokwane team

Free sets expectations low and the ledger clears them easily. Support means the forum, direct help is a paid extra. Estimates convert to invoices and the portal shows clients their whole history.

Pros

Email in receipt capture

Cons

Dated, functional interface

Doing the job for us in Paarl

Bank tagging rules learned my patterns and now most months reconcile themselves. The API let us automate our monthly recurring billing completely. Document storage keeps every invoice PDF attached to its transaction.

Real Estate · 11–50 employees South Africa Used for 6–12 months

Decent fit for a 18 person company

We like the price, tolerate the screens, respect the engine. Support means the forum, direct help is a paid extra.

Pros

Power User costs almost nothing yearly

Cons

Forum first support model

South Africa Used for 2+ years

Working well for our 8 person team

Multiple currencies on a free product still surprises me every time I invoice in euros. Estimates convert to invoices and the portal shows clients their whole history. The tagging rules engine is genuinely clever, it handles our regular suppliers untouched.

Cons

No real mobile app

Legal · 1–10 employees South Africa Used for 6–12 months

Good but not perfect for our Knysna team

We like the price, tolerate the screens, respect the engine. The interface is functional and firmly unfashionable. Document storage keeps every invoice PDF attached to its transaction.

Pros

No upsells or nags; free tier is the complete product

Cons

UK defaults everywhere

Financial Services · 1–10 employees South Africa Used for 6–12 months

quietly brilliant and basically free

The Power User subscription for the bigger files costs less than lunch for two. Recurring invoices and payment reminders run without attention.

Pros

API for automation; uK VAT filing included free

Cons

UK defaults everywhere

Financial Services · 1–10 employees South Africa Used for 6–12 months

Frustrating experience for our 7 person team

The quirks charmed us at first and wore us down eventually.

Pros

A decade of history kept intact

Cons

No phone support at deadline time. Confusing screens caused capture errors

6 May 2025

Technology · 1–10 employees South Africa Used for 1–2 years

A quiet workhorse for 2 years now

The VAT return files to HMRC directly and has never once been queried. The tagging rules engine is genuinely clever, it handles our regular suppliers untouched.

Pros

Email in receipt capture; aPI for automation

Cons

No real mobile app

Good decision for a 8 person company

I have used it for 5 years for my UK company and paid only the small Power User fee.

Cons

UK defaults everywhere

South Africa Used for 1–2 years

Multi currency on a free plan, remarkable

Excellent value wrapped in a dated jacket. The mobile experience is a responsive website, not an app. The community forum has an answer for nearly everything, usually from the developers themselves.

Pros

A decade of history kept intact

Our accountant in Vereeniging recommended it, good call

I have used it for 3 years for my UK company and paid only the small Power User fee. Recurring invoices and payment reminders run without attention.

Pros

Power User costs almost nothing yearly

Botswana Used for 1–2 years

Happy customer in Umhlanga

As a bookkeeper doing UK work from Mossel Bay, the price lets me quote clients fees they cannot refuse. Purchase receipts forward by email straight into the inbox for capture. The tagging rules engine is genuinely clever, it handles our regular suppliers untouched.

Pros

Developers answer on the forum

Cons

Direct support costs extra

Invoicing that gets my UK clients paying online

After 7 years the quirks feel like home, mostly. The interface is functional and firmly unfashionable.

Accounting · 1–10 employees South Africa Used for 1–2 years

Good but not perfect for our Kimberley team

Capable software that expects you to meet it halfway. It is UK first in every default, other jurisdictions are guests.

Pros

Clever bank tagging rules; developers answer on the forum

Cons

Forum first support model

Legal · 11–50 employees South Africa Used for 2+ years

Exactly what our 45 person business needed

The Power User subscription for the bigger files costs less than lunch for two. Purchase receipts forward by email straight into the inbox for capture. It never nags, never upsells mid task, never surprises the debit order.

20 January 2025

Real Estate · 1–10 employees South Africa Used for 2+ years

The value proposition is almost unfair

The Power User subscription for the bigger files costs less than lunch for two. Estimates convert to invoices and the portal shows clients their whole history. Unfashionable and unbeatable.

Pros

Branded client portal on invoices; uK VAT filing included free

8 January 2025

Media & Marketing · 1–10 employees South Africa Used for 1–2 years

Serving our Centurion operation well

Multiple currencies on a free product still surprises me every time I invoice in euros. Reports cover the accounts an accountant needs at year end. The value is so good it feels like a loophole.

Pros

No upsells or nags

Retail · 11–50 employees South Africa Used for 1–2 years

Mostly happy in Sandton, a few gripes

It demands some bookkeeping knowledge and rewards it. Some workflows take three clicks where rivals take one.

Pros

A decade of history kept intact; uK VAT filing included free

Cons

Forum first support model

Media & Marketing · 1–10 employees South Africa Used for 2+ years

Happy customer in Benoni

The client portal with our branding makes a two person firm look like a proper operation. Purchase receipts forward by email straight into the inbox for capture. Estimates convert to invoices and the portal shows clients their whole history.

Pros

Developers answer on the forum

Ebrahim Viljoen

Accountant · Marula Properties and Sons

30 October 2024

Real Estate · 1–10 employees South Africa Used for 6–12 months

Exactly what our 5 person business needed

We moved a client off a paid platform and they asked what the catch was. There is not one. The tagging rules engine is genuinely clever, it handles our regular suppliers untouched.

Pros

No upsells or nags; uK VAT filing included free
