          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).

          • 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).

          • Occasional bugs and server issues reported, disrupting workflows at times.

          • Provides free accounting tools and features, making it an accessible option for small businesses and freelancers with tight budgets.

          • Easy to use, intuitive interface that simplifies invoicing, expense tracking, and recurring billing for users without an accounting background.

          • Automates key accounting tasks such as bank reconciliations, recurring invoices, and transaction categorization, saving time and effort.

          • Allows seamless integration with bank accounts and imports transactions efficiently, streamlining financial tracking.

          • Poor customer service with slow response times, limited availability, and insufficient support, especially for non-paying users.

          • Issues with payment processing, such as funds being withheld, accounts being frozen, or payouts being delayed without clear explanations.

          • Frustrating problems with bank syncing and duplication of transactions, causing significant operational delays.

          • Lack of support for international users or non-U.S./Canadian businesses, making the platform inaccessible or limited for a larger audience.
