The detailed results of our case study are presented in our Xero review and QuickBooks Online review, whereas the chart below sums it up. We compared Xero and QuickBooks Online across 11 categories to see which industry-leading accounting software stands out. Its unbeatable mobile app makes it our top-recommended alternative to QuickBooks.

Zoho Books has a capable mobile app that contains almost all features of the desktop interface, such as the ability to send invoices, accept payments, and enter bills.

For tracking multiple companies or businesses, we recommend QuickBooks Desktop.

That’s possible with QuickBooks Online, but you need a separate subscription for each business. Multicompany businesses: Xero is a single-entity program, which means it can’t manage multiple companies within a single Xero account.
