Pros

  • Mobile App.
  • Invoicing.

Cons

  • Kashoo works. I've never had an issue.

C-Level Executive in Marketing (1-10 employees employees)

Pros

  • Reports
  • Feature set

Cons

  • The UI is not nice at all - even with a UI refresh, it still didn't look that great
  • The UX is rough as well - it's not as easy to use until you get used to it - high learning curve

Return on Investment

  • I purchased a lifetime deal of Kashoo and they ended up retracting it and placing my deal into "TrulySmall Accounting" which is a whole different product entirely. I ended up getting my money back but this was a huge negative and time-waste and the reason I gave Kashoo such a low score.
