Pros & Cons
Kashoo
Pros
- A single 30 USD monthly plan includes every feature, with unlimited users, invoices and attachments.
- Accountants and staff can be invited at no extra cost, each with their own access level.
- Bank connections use Plaid, so Kashoo never receives your bank credentials, and CSV and OFX imports are also supported.
- Reviewers say non-accountants find it easy to learn, and they praise customer service.
Cons
- It has fewer integrations than larger competitors, which reviewers say made them hesitant to commit.
- Every additional business needs its own subscription, and there is no consolidation across businesses.
- Payroll depends on the third-party PaymentEvolution integration rather than a built-in feature.
- It lacks the advanced accounting features and budgeting tools found in larger suites.
TallyPrime
Pros
- The GST tooling is deep: e-invoices, e-way bills, GSTR-1 and GSTR-3B filing, and GSTR-2B reconciliation are built in.
- Every plan includes the full feature set, so a single-user Silver license costs only 750 INR a month or 22,500 INR for a lifetime license.
- The Edit Log release keeps a fixed audit trail that meets the MCA audit trail rule.
- More than 400 built-in reports can be traced back to the underlying vouchers.
- Connected banking with major Indian banks covers payments and statement reconciliation.
Cons
- It is desktop-first, and remote access needs the paid Cloud Access add-on.
- Reviewers repeatedly cite few third-party integrations.
- Customization usually requires a certified Tally partner.
- Some users report slow performance, data corruption and license activation problems.
- Reviewers describe the interface as dated and the advanced modules as slow to learn.
