Last verified Jun 6, 2026
Strong AP-automation depth with unlimited invoice processing and bill pay, very broad POS coverage (50+) plus QuickBooks/Xero, transparent flat per-location pricing, and solidly positive independent ratings; loses points only for no free trial and limited fit for large-enterprise ERP needs.
