The short version

  • Only FreeAgent has a free tier, so it costs nothing to try first.
  • Each has a real cost: FreeAgent introductory pricing shown is 50% off the regular rates; Yooz it is accounts payable only, with no requisitioning, sourcing or contract management, so procurement control has to come from somewhere else.
  • Prices and features above were last checked on 31 August 2026.

Where each one falls short

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

FreeAgent

  • Introductory pricing shown is 50% off the regular rates
  • All prices exclude 20% VAT
  • Add-ons required for some features (Smart Capture Unlimited £5/month, Amazon integration £6/month)

Yooz

  • It is accounts payable only, with no requisitioning, sourcing or contract management, so procurement control has to come from somewhere else.
  • Pricing is published only as a starting point and the real number depends on invoice volume and connector requirements, so the advertised figure understates what most buyers pay.
  • Country compliance depth is strongest in France and francophone Europe; buyers needing many national e-invoicing mandates at once are better served by a vendor built for that.
  • Extraction accuracy on unusual supplier layouts still requires human correction, and the learning improves only with volume, so small-volume users see less benefit from the automation they are paying for.
  • ERP connectors vary in depth between accounting systems, and a shallow connector turns the promised straight-through posting into a periodic file export that someone has to run.
