Zoho Expense vs QuickBooks Online: Which is a better fit?

Speaker 1: Hi, I'm Puran. I'm a co-founder I give Zoho expense five out of five, to find more reviews click below. I was using [inaudible 00:00:15] accounting software before coming to the Zoho books. And when I come to the Zoho books, I eventually got to know about Zoho expense also. So regarding the expense management, I was not using any particular tools. The main reason behind using Zoho expense was the Zoho books, which is our accounting software I was using from the Zoho. And when I was looking for Zoho expense management software for my team, I find Zoho expense, which is already integrated with the Zoho books. And it is very easy to use it. They provide a mobile application, which is how less techno savvy people can also use this application. These were the main few reasons why I went chose Zoho expense software. Starting with Zoho expense was pretty easy. One of their executive, once I signed up for the Zoho expense software, I got an email to schedule a call with one of the executive. And although I have not scheduled a call, because I was know about basic features of the Zoho expense, and I believe more in doing it yourself and learning it yourself. So I did things on the Zoho expense by myself and I learn myself, there was always support from the Zoho team who were always ready to, once you sign up, you can set up a call with them in just one or two days. So I strongly recommend as a whole expense software for the team, especially if you have a team where your team is working in the field, especially if it's remotely working where you can't get the physical documentation of their expenses there. And if you have sales representatives who are visiting different locations of your client they also need to claim the fuel mileage data, all the features are available in the expense. So in my case, I find it really useful software. And there are, of course the integration was one of the main useful tools that make things very easy. Whenever my team, whenever we hire someone in the sales team, first thing I do is the Soho expense explanation. And it's very, pretty easy to understand for them. Also, they simply need to install a mobile application in their phone, and then they can put the mileage or fuel expenses and whatever expenses they are making in the field.

Speaker 1: My name is Alex. I'm the COO for Made By WiFi. We're a boutique IT firm based out of New York City with under 10 employees. I would rate QuickBooks Online a 5/5. I use QuickBooks Online for bookkeeping, invoice management, accounts receivables, payment processing, as well as the reporting capabilities which are very rich. I like how easy it was to pick up and learn. I've never used QuickBooks before. We were managing our company's finances through Google Sheets prior to QBO. The learning curve was basically a day, we got it all figured out. It's very easy to navigate and it's very easy to find what you need as well as streamline financial operations. Just making it easier to get paid, essentially. I'd like to see more consistent monthly billing from QBO. I feel like our monthly billing increased almost by 50% since we signed up without really getting more features. I'm not sure how quickly or why they raised their prices so aggressively, but they have, and I wish there was just more of a locked-in rate for a period of time that we could have agreed to.
