Where each one falls short

Documented limitations, not opinions. Every one is a constraint you would hit in normal use.

bexio

  • Basic plan at CHF 35/month allows only 1 user, and Advanced at CHF 42/month covers just 2 users before charging CHF 21/month per additional user
  • QR invoice scan limits and broader marketplace access are gated to higher tiers, so the entry Basic plan does not include the same scanning capacity as Optima or Ultimate

Brightpearl

  • No pricing is published, and every quote is described as a bespoke setup
  • Cost is driven by business size rather than by a stated unit, so nothing can be estimated before contacting sales
  • The vendor frames cost as a percentage of revenue, which means the bill grows with turnover rather than with usage
