The alternative
A different answer to QuickBooks and Xero
QuickBooks and Xero are capable products, and for many teams they are the right ones. They are also mature answers to an older question — how to make bookkeeping easier — asked at a time when ease meant letting anyone change anything. Ledgermast begins from a different question: what should accounting software look like if its first obligation is that the books cannot quietly be wrong?
| Ledgermast | QuickBooks & Xero | |
|---|---|---|
| Posted history | Append-only by construction. A correction is a storno reversal that remains visible in the record. | Posted transactions can generally be edited or deleted, with an audit log recording the change after the fact. |
| Approvals and segregation of duties | Built in at every price, with approval ceilings and the separation of preparer from approver enforced by the database when segregation is enabled. | Typically reserved for premium tiers, or left to office policy rather than to the system. |
| Pricing | $29 USD a month including 3 active users; +$6 per additional user. Automated bank feeds included. | Three to five tiers, with core capabilities unlocking as you pay more. |
| Usage limits | None. Invoices, bills, and journals are unlimited. | Entry plans commonly cap monthly invoices, bills, or users. |
| Free trial | 90 days of available accounting features, lapsing to read-only with every record preserved. | Typically 30 days. |
