Considered Both Products
BlueSnap
Chose BlueSnap
Merchant e solutions has a truly awful admin website and is clunky to use. There are almost no options for customization. Bluesnap allows configuration to fit our needs and a much better customer service experience.
Chose BlueSnap
Our vendor selected BlueSnap and so far we're comfortable with the implementation.
Chose BlueSnap
In comparison to BlueSnap, PayPal has terrible APIs and SDKs. Stripe seems to be more robust on all fronts, especially when it comes to APIs and SDKs. They are both, however, more expensive.
Chose BlueSnap
BlueSnap blows zuora out of the water. It's much easier to set up, create products and integrate with existing forms. I wish we had used it first, it would've saved a ton of headaches and wasted time.
Chose BlueSnap
We have many international clients and BlueSnap can process in many currencies, not just USD or CAD.
Ottimate
Chose Ottimate
We like the automated coding that Plate IQ provides vs. bill.com. It also helped that all of our locations could be viewed on the same dashboard. When you have five separate business all being managed by the same team, it's important to have dashboard functionality across all …
Chose Ottimate
PiQ costs $250K less than netsuite (at a minimum). Unless you have/need netsuite, no comparison.
Bill.com isn't targeted, and doesn't give the functionality that PiQ has for analytics by SKU.
Expensify is the closest in ease of use. They are not competitive; just very similar.
Chose Ottimate
We used Docuware first; great experience; however, it was not made specifically for restaurant clients like Plate IQ is. Plate IQ does a much better job of recognizing common items, and they've continued to add a function that is important for restaurant owners. Restaurant …

Likelihood to Recommend
BlueSnap is really safe software that we recommend to process payments online and thus significantly increase sales without neglecting security because this tool is one of the safest on the market and complies with tax regulations, this generates additional confidence when purchasing this tool. I recommend it because you can automate different payment processes and thus reduce work time and all this is done without neglecting security for a moment.

Plate IQ has been a perfect addition to our company. We had invoices with grease, creases, folds, shaded characters, etc, coming into our office all the time. The ability to scan, or even better, have invoices come through EDI, has completely changed the way we are able to handle invoicing.

They have a dedicated support person for each customer who actually knows the product.
Turnaround is usually within an hour or faster.

  • Seamless Integration with our CRM and other tools.
  • Offering Multiple Payment Options to Customer leading to more conversions.
Read full review
  • In my opinion, it has had zero impact on ROI now that we are paying for an additional year.
  • Another negative is that we've spent a lot of time discussing this issue with Plate IQ, to no avail. They feel it's appropriate to charge a company for an entire year of service even though said company emailed to cancel prior to the end of the first year of service.
  • We also wasted a lot of time onboarding this company only to find out that the software left a lot to be desired.
