Sage 50 Accounts

Recurring invoices and standing entries run themselves reliably.

Extra users, CIS and currency on Standard all cost extra.

Document capture has cut the typing dramatically.

Foreign currency on Standard being a paid extra feels mean.

Dependable ledgers, our data going back seventeen years is all in there and accessible. Stock module suits a wholesaler. The bookkeeper knows it blindfolded.

Subscription pricing that rises relentlessly. Charged extra for users, extra for CIS, extra for currency on Standard. Support quality has declined while the price went the other way. We stay because moving seventeen years of history is the devil we do not know.

The historic data was solid and came out cleanly for migration.

Cost rises that ignore customer loyalty entirely.

Stock records hold every part number, bin location and supplier reference. Year end stock valuation the accountant trusts. It never crashes, ever.

I use a tenth of the screens and pay for all of them. The modern AI features mean nothing to a one man office. Would love a small shop edition at a small shop price.

Recurring transactions and standing orders run themselves.

Interface is dated and dense, training new staff takes real time.

Batch entry speed with the keyboard, no browser product comes close.

Remote access is good but not the same as true cloud.

AI document capture posts supplier invoices with startling accuracy.

None beyond what everyone already says about the price.

Stock module covers reorder levels, valuations and part numbers properly.

Nothing new to add.

Departments and budgets give each manager their own numbers.

The AI features are welcome but the veterans just want faster screens.
