Agicap vs FreshBooks: Which is a better fit?

Juliette P.: I'm Juliette. I'm the CEO of a retail company. We produce lingerie and we do sell our products both online and in some showrooms and in a store and out of five, I would put four to Agicap. Before using Agicap, actually, I didn't have any accounting software. I used basically Excel before. Basically, I chose to use Agicap at the time because we have a lot of financial questions all the time and of course cash was a big issue at the time. So when they approached me with a solution to manage cash better, I was obviously interested. It was quite easy to onboard with Agicap. The only thing is that at the time, the connection with the bank was not optimal, let's say. But they improved with time so it was better. I would say that it should become a tool that you use on a daily basis to make it worth so connecting every day or every two days may be a good basis and also filling it with a lot of data and a lot of prediction that you have is very useful as well.

Andrew T.: Hi, my name is Andrew. I'm the Chief Executive Officer at ATS Group. I give FreshBooks a rating of four. All right, so we used quite a lot of different softwares, FreshBooks being one of those softwares. Before we moved to FreshBooks, we were using a software known as Ways. We moved to FreshBooks because FreshBooks was designed to be for clients who want to do their own bookkeeping with us. Just providing them with guidance on doing so. It was more ideal for those kind of clients. FreshBooks is a pretty easy software to use. That's one of the reasons why we decided to use it for our clients who wanted to do their own bookkeeping. It's a very simple, very user-friendly. It allows for our clients to be able to do their books with little or no assistance from us, and it's quite ideal for entrepreneurs or business owners that wish to do their own accounting. Plus, they get very great support from the FreshBooks team. The process to get started using with FreshBooks was pretty simple. First of all, we were contacted by one of the reps at FreshBooks. They gave us a tutorial on the product, how it's used, the benefits of the product, and things like that. And then they guided us in setting up the product and they offer a lot of training. Their portal provides you with ongoing training and ongoing support. So the setup and use of the FreshBooks was quite easy and simple. So my advice to anybody looking for any new software, FreshBooks, or any other software out there is first of all, do your research. Read reviews such as this one right now so you can compare. Not every software is ideal for everyone, so what's ideal for me may not necessarily ideal for you, but once you compare the software, see what they offer, know the advantages, disadvantages, the pros and the cons, and that's one of the most important things to do. Then of course, all of these companies, FreshBooks included, normally give you a trial period. So you can actually try the software out. So you can do a test run and you can do side-by-side trials. So you can be using FreshBooks on one side, another accounting software on the other side. Compare both of them to see which one works best for you. And then after that you can go ahead and make a decision as to which one you want to move forward with.
