Xero is far ahead of QuickBooks Online because it was built 100% on the cloud from the beginning. QuickBooks tried to replicate its desktop product on the cloud and has created a non user-friendly environment. Compared with QuickBooks Online, Xero can save most clients 50% of the time you would spend doing the same tasks on QuickBooks Online.
Xero is great for most small businesses. The clients that Xero isn't particularly good at are clients with a sophisticated inventory system.
