What real users say
The strongest praise and the most common complaint, pulled from verified reviews of each product.
Sage IntacctRuth Calloway
Director of Finance, 51-200 employees
“Fund and grant accounting is genuinely first class for a UK charity. Dashboards for budget holders mean programme managers see their own spend without asking finance. Support has been responsive and knowledgeable.”
Derek Mansfield
President, 11-50 employees
“We are paying nearly double our year one price for the same modules and user count. Extra charges appeared for things we understood were included. For a company our size the value equation has stopped working and we are evaluating alternatives.”

“Genuinely phone first, which suits how I work.”
