The most popular version of Qbo is Essentials;
When it comes to reporting, Sage 50cloud has got Qbo beat.
Convert CSV to Qbo and import into QuickBooks 2018, 2017, 2016, 2015.
Qbo Plus also allows you to track
and pay 1099 contractors and do budgeting/forecasting.
Phone- Similar to Qbo, telephone support is included in all Sage 50 plans.
First, all Qbo plans include live telephone support-
Xero only offers support via email.
Based on our minimum criteria, here is how Qbo stacks up against its competitors:.
Qbo has three pricing plans between $20
and $60 per month($240 and $720 per year).
At $60 per month, Qbo Plus is the top tier of all three pricing plans.
Like its competitors, you don't need a bookkeeping background to setup your business in Qbo.
It also includes double the amount of reports that Qbo Simple Start has(40 versus 20).
Unlike Qbo, Sage also has a menu bar
located at the top of the login screen.
Like Sage 50, Qbo allows you to create custom invoices that include your logo
and brand colors.
Hiring 1099 contractors and tracking their payments is another great reason to give Qbo Plus a shot.
Supported files are added on a rolling basis and
maybe the file type Qbo is also already supported.
Like all of its competitors,
you can get paid faster by adding online payments to your Qbo account.
However, Qbo Essentials
and Plus allow you to connect an unlimited number of bank and credit card accounts.
Qbo allows you to access your data from any computer with an internet
connection using your secure login.
However, every Sage 50cloud plan has almost triple the number of reports compared to each Qbo plan!
Qbo Simple Start does not include accounts payable,
which means that you cannot keep track of unpaid bills.
When it comes to reports and dashboards,
Sage 50cloud has many more reports and dashboards than Qbo does.
When compared to FreshBooks, Zoho Books, and Wave, Qbo is a bit more complex to set up.
While the mid-tier and top tier Qbo plans automatically include additional users in their pricing,
Sage 50cloud does not.
These plans include a great deal more advanced budgeting and
forecasting reports than you will find in Qbo Plus.
Unlike Qbo, which has a built-in credit card process
tool that you can just turn on, FreshBooks does not.
Sage 50 and Qbo differ when it comes to affordability
and the ability to meet the needs of certain industries.
Qbo Essentials is ideal for a service-based business
that prints checks to pay bills and does not have 1099 contractors.
However, if you are in the construction, manufacturing or distribution industry,
Sage 50cloud Quantum includes industry-specific features not offered by Qbo.
Qbo Simple Start is ideal for solopreneurs
who pay all of their bills through online banking or with a credit/debit card.
