FreeAgent vs KashFlow Comparison

There are many different online accounting solutions, most of them based in the U.S., Canada or in the United Kingdom. FreeAgent and KashFlow are originating from the UK, but the similarities don’t stop there: both software focus on the UK market, but they also allow non-UK citizens to subscribe to their services. Despite being quite similar to each other regarding certain features that are necessary to keep running a successful business, they have many differences too, like their pricing plans, the duration of the free trial, the list of applications that can be integrated and the mobile versions.

FreeAgent, which offers and supports an API, can be integrated with 30 third party software from expense handling tools to a handy Google Chrome add-on. If you are out of your office, you can choose whether you want to access your account using a mobile browser or an application containing the most important features. The pricing is simple: after the expiration of the 30-day trial you can either choose the monthly subscription, which is $24 per month, reduced by 50% for the first 6 months, or the pre-paid annual plan which costs only $20 per month. The subscription includes the fully functional software and free customer support.

KashFlow has a stellar mobile version that has all the features of the desktop version, allowing you to manage your businesses on the road if you have constant internet connection. The accounting solution can be integrated with over 50 different third party applications, and the company offers and supports an API. Customer service is 24/7 and includes phone and email support, UK-based trainings, and webinars. There are three versions of the software, all of which can be purchased for British pound: Starter is ₤5 per month, but invoicing, bank transactions, and third-party integration is limited. Business costs ₤10 per month, but it has all the necessary features except for payroll, which is only included in the ₤15 per month top package. This latter package is the one that can be tried out for free for 14 days.
