We used Bench.co before switching to Zeni- our books were often not available when promised, we had issues with duplicate transactions, and we had serious communication issues when trying to file our taxes. Zeni corrected our books and got our taxes filed quickly and seamlessly.
I've primarily compared ZipBooks vs. Quickbooks because I've used Quickbooks at larger companies before. ZipBooks was the right fit for a smaller organization because it still had all the core features of Quickbooks but at a dramatically lower price that fits the budget.
PayPal for a very long time was my go to software, and I had many issues. PayPal was clunky, unattractive, and many parts of their website were broken (old links returning 404s). It was difficult to get a human on the line (in chat, in email, or on the phone) and the majority …
I've used QuickBooks which was too complicated and way too expensive. Also used the expensive but ideal subscription web based CVita software., which out priced itself for our usage. Tried other free software that did not do the job that we need, which Zipbooks does cover. …
It is my opinion that Zeni wants customers and does not verify that the customers are who they say they are. I believe this is what happened to me. They let someone take my money and let the fraud happen. I feel that a simple verification would have prevented this fraud from happening.
Small businesses are well suited for this software, as their pricing is very affordable. they have a FREE FOREVER Starter plan, for those that are bootstrapped with little cash. I'm on the $15/mo Smarter Plan, and it's perfect for my little boutique agency's needs.
I was an early adopter, and with this company and software being relatively new, I got to see a few minor bugs and quirks over the last year. The good thing is, most of the bugs are squashed, and the future is bright for this startup!

I believe Zeni was taking my money without permission
Zeni did not verify the company to be legitimate. They let a gmail address with no website qualify. All they needed to do was look up the real company and verify this is fraudulent.
I don't have a ROI for the use of Zipbooks though it has helped greatly with organizing for taxes. Our economy here has been so volatile for three years with deep dips down, that no software can aid in support the financial health other than to track the expenses and income and watch the balance to observe.
