Technology · 1–10 employees South Africa Used for Less than 6 months

Mostly happy in Benoni, a few gripes

Capable software that expects you to meet it halfway. Support means the forum, direct help is a paid extra.

Pros

UK VAT filing included free

Cons

Direct support costs extra

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

Working well for our 7 person team

Multiple currencies on a free product still surprises me every time I invoice in euros. Document storage keeps every invoice PDF attached to its transaction. The API let us automate our monthly recurring billing completely.

Pros

Email in receipt capture

South Africa Used for Less than 6 months

Free accounting that is actually complete

Excellent value wrapped in a dated jacket. The interface is functional and firmly unfashionable. The API let us automate our monthly recurring billing completely.

Pros

Email in receipt capture; a decade of history kept intact

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

Frustrating experience for our 4 person team

The quirks charmed us at first and wore us down eventually. Exporting for our new accountant took real effort to map. No phone number to call when the return deadline loomed.

Pros

UK VAT filing included free

Cons

No phone support at deadline time

Solid choice for our Mbombela business

The free tier is not a demo, it is the whole product for smaller books. The API let us automate our monthly recurring billing completely.

Pros

Technology · 1–10 employees Namibia Used for 1–2 years

Good but not perfect for our Randburg team

After 2 years the quirks feel like home, mostly. Ledger size limits eventually push everyone to Power User, which is fair. The API let us automate our monthly recurring billing completely.

Pros

Free tier is the complete product

Cons

Direct support costs extra

Media & Marketing · 1–10 employees South Africa Used for Less than 6 months

Good but not perfect for our George team

Free sets expectations low and the ledger clears them easily. The mobile experience is a responsive website, not an app.

Pros

Clever bank tagging rules

Cons

UK defaults everywhere

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

Running UK client books at zero software cost

It demands some bookkeeping knowledge and rewards it. It is UK first in every default, other jurisdictions are guests. The community forum has an answer for nearly everything, usually from the developers themselves.

Pros

No upsells or nags

Cons

Dated, functional interface

A decade on QuickFile and counting

The product is stronger than it looks, and it looks like 2012. Ledger size limits eventually push everyone to Power User, which is fair.

Cons

No real mobile app

Solid choice for our Durban business

For straightforward UK books the product is complete, ledger to VAT. It never nags, never upsells mid task, never surprises the debit order.

Pros

Cons

UK defaults everywhere

Assumes bookkeeping knowledge
