I'm stuck deciding between the two. Would a 2022 update be on the cards??

Note with QBO: If you want a most basic feature - marking an expense as billable and invoicing it back to a client - you must buy a premium plan with Quickbooks that gives you hundreds of features you don't care about. It's like a ruse - such a basic feature "billable expenses" singled out to push you into a higher plan...

Good video, thanks. I'm getting frustrated with QB, all the adding, transferring, matching, not matching, editing, and so on. I thought a year or two in it should be doing this more fluently. Would there be any less of this with Xero, or do i need to get over it?

[chrisinmadison]

Holy crap...Quickbooks has raised their pricing 300% since this video was published, leapfrogging Xero's pricing substantially. It no longer looks appealing to me at all. Cloud-based software is really gouging our humble pocketbooks these days! Something has to give.

Do i have to connect my bank account with Xero? Can i manually add the balance and account on the basis that this is a backup to my paper records?

[amateurtorque]

Enjoyed your video. I think from what I've seen from your video Quickbooks would be better from a bookkeepers viewpoint. Thanks.

[MPMotivation]

Thank you! I decided on Quickbooks. lol

[BarbaraOlioso]

Thank you for sharing this comparison. Even if Xero might be more user friendly they are awful in terms of customer feedback. They are also more expensive and no telephone support whereas QB is cheaper and provide good support on the phone. Today I decided to switch away from Xero as they are a liability to my business and force people to download apps that probe into one's privacy

For my simple needs Quickbooks self Employed is far better.

Can you do another of these with a review of FreeAgent as well?

[dnewman]

Thanks for a great video. I have an Etsy and eBay shop and have recently had to go VAT registered. Which would you recommend for this situation, does one integrate better than the other?

[malvanlondon]

Thanks for the informative video. Which is better for the visually-impaired self-employed person who need lots of large clear headings and an eye-popping range of contrasting colours onscreen? And does either brand have a shares and investments dashboard built in (or accessible via a plug-in)? Finally, is FreeAgent any good as an alternative to Xero and Quickbooks?

[BachClub]

Very informative, thanks! Two questions: 1. is changing the date etc (as mentioned) really that complicated in Xero? 2. is there a way to bulk accept / reconcile transactions in Xero? We are thinking of moving from QB, but the prospect of going through the transactions one by one (especially at the beginning, when we import lots of historical data) is off-putting.

[wbev_thai]

I’m a one man decorating band, and like to send quotes and invoices from my I phone, which one would you recommend for this please

[Ronin]

Thanks for the good video! Do suggest any ePOS like square or Loyverse which works with xero for small business?

[jamesali]

My biz is watching all kind of YouTube videos, which sw is good for me? Facebook?

[michaelthorley]

Useful video and I will go and look at the other two for each. My business is largely selling services and products on line in multiple currencies integrating with stripe - do you have any sense if one or the other is better at dealing in multi currency. I can imagine I will be having a few forex reconciliations to do

[bjpcorp]

Which Shopify integration is better on Xero, the native Xero Shopify app or the A2X Shopify app?

[dianawee]

how do i print payment voucher for direct expenses payment in xero . PV can be printed in Xero if it is a purchase with invoices.
also no payment voucher can be printed for expense reimbursement from hubdoc receipts which i find disadvantage in Xero sw.

[pierremakengo]

Which one has better integration with Stripe? I kind of only need QBO or Xero for bookkeeping my business expenses, I already use Stripe for my payments, processes and invoices etc.
