South Africa Used for 2+ years

Too UK shaped for anything else

The quirks charmed us at first and wore us down eventually. A VAT edge case took two weeks of forum threads to resolve. Exporting for our new accountant took real effort to map.

Pros

API for automation

Cons

Edge cases stuck in forum threads. No phone support at deadline time

Mostly happy in Klerksdorp, a few gripes

It demands some bookkeeping knowledge and rewards it. The mobile experience is a responsive website, not an app.

Pros

Power User costs almost nothing yearly

Cons

Dated, functional interface

Mixed feelings after 2 years

After 2 years the quirks feel like home, mostly. New staff take longer to find their feet than on prettier products. Support means the forum, direct help is a paid extra.

Pros

Branded client portal on invoices; a decade of history kept intact

Cons

Extra clicks in common workflows

Doing okay for our 7 person setup

Excellent value wrapped in a dated jacket. Purchase receipts forward by email straight into the inbox for capture.

Cons

No real mobile app

South Africa Used for 1–2 years

Decent fit for a 9 person company

After 2 years the quirks feel like home, mostly. Ledger size limits eventually push everyone to Power User, which is fair. The mobile experience is a responsive website, not an app.

Pros

Free tier is the complete product

Cons

Extra clicks in common workflows

Serving our Benoni operation well

My UK clients pay invoices through the portal and the payment lands tagged in the books. It never nags, never upsells mid task, never surprises the debit order.

Pros

Email in receipt capture; developers answer on the forum

Cons

No real mobile app

Doing the job for us in Benoni

My UK clients pay invoices through the portal and the payment lands tagged in the books. Recurring invoices and payment reminders run without attention. Unfashionable and unbeatable.

Pros

Email in receipt capture

Mixed feelings after 4 years

Capable software that expects you to meet it halfway. New staff take longer to find their feet than on prettier products. The community forum has an answer for nearly everything, usually from the developers themselves.

Pros

Email in receipt capture

Cons

Assumes bookkeeping knowledge

VAT to HMRC without a subscription

Free sets expectations low and the ledger clears them easily. The mobile experience is a responsive website, not an app. Estimates convert to invoices and the portal shows clients their whole history.

Pros

Power User costs almost nothing yearly; email in receipt capture

Cons

Direct support costs extra

Quirks accumulated into deal breakers

The learning curve cost us more than a subscription would have. Exporting for our new accountant took real effort to map.

Cons

Edge cases stuck in forum threads. No phone support at deadline time

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

Our accountant in Gqeberha recommended it, good call

I have used it for 7 years for my UK company and paid only the small Power User fee. Reports cover the accounts an accountant needs at year end. Estimates convert to invoices and the portal shows clients their whole history. Function beat fashion, we bank the difference.

Pros

UK VAT filing included free

Doing the job for us in George

My UK clients pay invoices through the portal and the payment lands tagged in the books. Underneath the plain screens is a proper double entry ledger that satisfies accountants. The tagging rules engine is genuinely clever, it handles our regular suppliers untouched.

Pros

Branded client portal on invoices; no upsells or nags

It demands some bookkeeping knowledge and rewards it. It is UK first in every default, other jurisdictions are guests. Reports cover the accounts an accountant needs at year end.

Happy customer in Roodepoort

Bank tagging rules learned my patterns and now most months reconcile themselves. For UK books on a budget nothing else comes close.

Pros

Clever bank tagging rules

South Africa Used for 2+ years

Mostly happy in Paarl, a few gripes

The product is stronger than it looks, and it looks like 2012. Some workflows take three clicks where rivals take one. The tagging rules engine is genuinely clever, it handles our regular suppliers untouched.

Cons

No real mobile app
