Four stars, would recommend with pointers

It has quietly become part of the furniture, which is the best compliment for accounting software. The renewal price gets an annual raised eyebrow.

Gave up after eight months

It may suit tiny simple businesses. For ours it created work, the very thing it was bought to remove, and getting our data out took longer than getting it in.

Strong core, average extras

The app is genuinely useful for invoicing on the move. The desktop site is where the deeper work happens and it is fine, just not exciting.

Does the job for a small firm

Copilot and the newer additions are nice to have though not why we stay. We stay because the VAT return has never once been wrong.

Good software, decent value

The monthly cost is fair for what it does, especially with payroll included. Knock a star off for the occasional sluggish afternoon and limited invoice templates.

Invoices out, money in, faster

I run a small trade business and the evenings I used to spend on paperwork now happen inside twenty minutes with a cup of tea. That is the honest review.

A proper system at a sensible price

The price after the offer period is still less than one hour of my accountant time each month. The value argument is not close.

Right choice for our trades business

A year in and it does what we bought it for. A few workflow quirks and a price step after the offer period, but the VAT and invoicing side has been faultless.

Recommend for VAT registered businesses

Migration from our previous software brought most things across cleanly. A handful of old invoices needed rekeying, after that it has been steady.

Fine for the basics, stretched beyond

The core is dependable. Beyond the core, features thin out quicker than the marketing suggests and the plan upgrades add up.
