Pros and Cons	Intuitive and user-friendly interface, making it simple to set up and use even for non-accounting experts. Excellent customer support with responsive, knowledgeable, and patient account managers, frequently cited for their exceptional service. Effective for small and freelance businesses, particularly for tasks like invoicing, expense tracking, and bookkeeping. Offers valuable features like recurring billing, time tracking, project collaboration, and seamless payment integrations (e.g., PayPal, Stripe). Great mobile app for tasks like receipt scanning, tracking, and invoicing, ensuring flexibility for on-the-go users. Reporting functionalities and customizations are less robust compared to industry giants, limiting advanced financial analysis. Invoice customization options are relatively limited, which may not meet specific branding needs. Lack of built-in payroll functionality requires integration with external apps for certain regions (e.g., Gusto, Payment Evolution).	Simplifies payroll processing and tax compliance, making it user-friendly even for non-experts. Offers robust integrations with platforms like QuickBooks Online and other accounting systems. Excellent customer support that is responsive, timely, and efficient in resolving issues. Comprehensive features for businesses, including onboarding, benefits management, retirement plans, and compliance support. Transparent and scalable pricing based on team size, suitable for startups and growing businesses. Occasional reports of errors in support communication or inconsistencies in handling complex account issues. Some users find the transition from alternative payroll providers to Gusto challenging without adequate guidance. Limited advanced customization for businesses with highly complex payroll needs.
