Hi All
I am not finding many reviews on the 'net for either of the above so:
I am hoping someone 'out there' might have personal experience in using of either of the above-
or maybe another free online app. I currently only have a few sales/purchases entries a month but still need MTD for VAT returns.
Anyone have any experience/recommendations, please
Thanks
S

    I've used Zoho as one of our clients uses it.  As an accountants tool I don't rate it.  But I wasn't aware it was free.

    We use QuickBooks for all our other clients which costs about £15 or so per month.  I'd have thought if you're turning over more than £85k per year a couple of hundred a year for software wouldn't break the bank.

    Not sure that does MTD in the free version.

    I just checked again, free version does not do MTD.  Not really surprising as it does seem MTD is a bit of a money make for software houses.
