Consultant

Financial Services · 1–10 employees South Africa Used for 1–2 years

Solid choice for our Knysna business

Ten years of my company history sits in it, intact and searchable. The community forum has an answer for nearly everything, usually from the developers themselves. It just works, year after year, for nothing.

Pros

Developers answer on the forum; branded client portal on invoices

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

Good but not perfect for our Worcester team

Excellent value wrapped in a dated jacket. The mobile experience is a responsive website, not an app. It is UK first in every default, other jurisdictions are guests.

Cons

Extra clicks in common workflows

Financial Services South Africa Used for 1–2 years

Good but not perfect for our Midrand team

Free sets expectations low and the ledger clears them easily. The interface is functional and firmly unfashionable.

Pros

Multiple currencies supported; no upsells or nags

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

Exactly what our 9 person business needed

We moved a client off a paid platform and they asked what the catch was. There is not one. Underneath the plain screens is a proper double entry ledger that satisfies accountants. Recurring invoices and payment reminders run without attention. The most rational software spend in our practice: nearly none.

Pros

No upsells or nags; email in receipt capture

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

Good but not perfect for our Centurion team

We like the price, tolerate the screens, respect the engine. New staff take longer to find their feet than on prettier products. The interface is functional and firmly unfashionable.

Cons

Dated, functional interface

Financial Services · 1–10 employees South Africa Used for 1–2 years

Powerful for the price, quirky throughout

Free sets expectations low and the ledger clears them easily. New staff take longer to find their feet than on prettier products. Reports cover the accounts an accountant needs at year end.

Pros

Clever bank tagging rules; uK VAT filing included free

Cons

Forum first support model

Technology · 51–200 employees South Africa Used for 1–2 years

Exactly what our 180 person business needed

Multiple currencies on a free product still surprises me every time I invoice in euros. The API let us automate our monthly recurring billing completely. Underneath the plain screens is a proper double entry ledger that satisfies accountants. Function beat fashion, we bank the difference.

Pros

Email in receipt capture

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

Working well for our 4 person team

The VAT return files to HMRC directly and has never once been queried. The API let us automate our monthly recurring billing completely. Recommended for every simple UK entity we handle.

Pros

Multiple currencies supported; developers answer on the forum

Cons

Extra clicks in common workflows

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

Decent fit for a 30 person company

The product is stronger than it looks, and it looks like 2012. It is UK first in every default, other jurisdictions are guests.

Cons

Extra clicks in common workflows

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

Decent fit for a 25 person company

After 7 years the quirks feel like home, mostly. Some workflows take three clicks where rivals take one.

Cons

UK defaults everywhere

South Africa Used for 6–12 months

Not what we hoped for our Ballito business

The learning curve cost us more than a subscription would have. Our junior captured a month backwards because the screens confused her.

Pros

A decade of history kept intact

Cons

Edge cases stuck in forum threads

Let us down when it counted

The learning curve cost us more than a subscription would have. Our junior captured a month backwards because the screens confused her. No phone number to call when the return deadline loomed.

Cons

No phone support at deadline time

Financial Services · 1–10 employees South Africa Used for 2+ years

Still glad we chose it, 6 years later

The free tier is not a demo, it is the whole product for smaller books. The community forum has an answer for nearly everything, usually from the developers themselves. Underneath the plain screens is a proper double entry ledger that satisfies accountants. Function beat fashion, we bank the difference.

Pros

Multiple currencies supported; email in receipt capture

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

The forum answered me faster than paid support elsewhere

Multiple currencies on a free product still surprises me every time I invoice in euros. It never nags, never upsells mid task, never surprises the debit order.

Pros

No upsells or nags; power User costs almost nothing yearly

Cons

Direct support costs extra

Gets us there, with some detours

Excellent value wrapped in a dated jacket. Support means the forum, direct help is a paid extra.

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

Free and capable, learning curve included

We like the price, tolerate the screens, respect the engine. Ledger size limits eventually push everyone to Power User, which is fair.

Pros

Free tier is the complete product

Cons

No real mobile app

Our UK entity books cost us nothing

The VAT return files to HMRC directly and has never once been queried. The value is so good it feels like a loophole.

Pros

Multiple currencies supported
