Pros & Cons
AccountView
Pros
- Deployment is flexible: run it on your own Windows server, through a hosting partner, or as AccountView Online.
- Team and Business both include unlimited administrations, which helps groups and accounting practices.
- The modular bundles cover trade, inventory, projects and hours, so it stretches beyond pure bookkeeping.
- The vendor cites 89 integrations, including Visma AutoInvoice, Approval, UBL e-invoicing, Nmbrs and CaseWare.
- A Web API and third-party connectors such as Invantive give access to the data for BI tools like Power BI.
Cons
- It is expensive: Team starts at 137.50 euros per month, and invoicing alone costs another 55 euros per month.
- The legacy FoxPro-based architecture creates a new administration for each fiscal year, which complicates master data, according to Zenvoices.
- It is aimed only at the Dutch market and the Dutch language.
- Some features, such as the audit trail and automatic payments, need extra modules.
- There is little public user review coverage on G2, Capterra or SourceForge.
Pleo
Pros
- G2 reviewers praise the card and receipt-capture app as easy for employees to use, and Pleo holds a 4.7 rating across roughly 1,400 G2 reviews.
- Per-user list prices are published, starting at £8 per user per month.
- Native accounting integrations cover Xero, QuickBooks, NetSuite, FreeAgent, Xledger and Twinfield.
- SAML SSO is included even on the entry Start plan.
- The UK entity is authorised by the FCA, and cards are issued under a Mastercard licence.
Cons
- Build and Optimise are billed yearly and require at least three users.
- Transaction charges such as FX fees of up to 2 percent and per-payment fees add to the subscription cost.
- Live chat support is only included on Optimise, and Trustpilot reviewers complain about slow support.
- Some reviewers report weak coverage and support in the US.
- It is not an accounting system and has no general ledger, customer invoicing or payroll.
