Watch the client count

The billable client limit is the real price, not the sticker. We crossed 50 clients and jumped a tier mid year, which was a bigger increase than I expected. Count your clients before you pick a plan.

Pros

The client portal keeps every invoice and estimate in one place for the customer.

Cons

Reporting is thin compared with a full accounting platform.

The client cap caught us out

Went one client over the plan limit and the bill jumped by nearly half. No warning, no prorating conversation, just a higher invoice. Priced by client count is a fine model but it should be louder on the pricing page.

Pros

Invoicing is the best in this category and clients notice the difference.

Cons

Sales tax handling is basic and will not solve economic nexus for you.

Watch the client count

As an invoicing tool it is excellent. As accounting software it is adequate. Double entry arrived late and still feels bolted on, and my accountant has opinions about it. If your books are simple that is fine.

Pros

Retainers and deposits work without configuration.

Cons

There is no inventory management at all.
