Xero vs Lendio: Which is a better fit?

Nigel: My name is Nigel. I'm the Managing Director of my own company, D13 Solutions. We are a consultant company using Xero, which I'm rating five out of five. Xero was recommended to us by our accountants. They had options for products like Sage and some other products as well. They showed us two or three of those products, and we chose Xero from that list. We chose Xero because Xero was the most usable of the products. So the interface was very simple, but it also suited the way we work. So inability to do what we needed to do in the shortest possible time, in the easiest way. Xero gave us the best options out of all of the things we looked at. So we switched to Xero from our previous package. That was really straightforward. But for everything we use it for, which is invoicing, quotes, purchase orders, it's all really good. It's really straightforward and simple to use. We use it in multiple currencies as well, and it supports that very well indeed. But we've integrated things like the company credit cards, so everybody's credit card is integrated into the system, so it really works nice and simple. So things like my month end when I'm doing all my reconciliations, those take a matter of a couple of hours, not a couple of days. Xero has been a game changer for us. It's made my life more simple. It's kept my costs down. This means I haven't got to go and find someone external to my bookkeeping because it's all simple and easy to use within the app. I would recommend anybody to try Xero. It may not be for everyone, but it's certainly worth trying. And with a free trial available, why would you not?

John S.: Hi, I'm John. I'm a marketing consultant and I rate Sunrise a five out of five. For more reviews like this one, click below. Prior to using Sunrise, I was using a PayPal and Stripe and many of these different platforms because a lot of my customers needed to pay with different types of marketplaces and I really needed something where I could invoice my clients have a simple option where they could go and simply just pay using any of these platforms. So, Sunrise, it's really allowed me to create invoices that I can get payments through my bank, through PayPal, as well as through Stripe. It works really well for that. So some of the reasons that I really like Sunrise are that I have the capacity to enter all my customer information, retain that information inside the platform, send out simple invoices based on specific services that I'm charging them for, and keep a record of what invoices have been paid, what's overdue and easily send emails right through the system to invoice all my clients and keep all that collectively in one piece of software. Getting started with Sunrise was very straightforward, very easy to do. I simply just set up and linked to all my existing accounts. I was able to enter all of my basic information about myself, my business and once I had all that done, I was immediately able to start going out and sending invoices, collecting payments and everything worked very smoothly. So if you've been considering picking up an invoicing software, something where you can start invoicing your clients and really having a clear picture as to what's going on in terms of charging and billing your clients, Sunrise is a really good option. Overall, I've noticed many, many vast improvements over the last couple of years that I've been a customer. They continuously are adding new features, making it easier. It's simple enough to get on the phone with them or get email support and ultimately I notice that they're just always looking to improve the system, make it easier and more efficient to use and I've had good success using that over the last year.
