FAQ

Comparison Questions

Why is EmLedger cheaper than QuickBooks and Xero?
QuickBooks, Xero, and FreshBooks charge per company/entity. If you have 10 entities, you pay for 10 subscriptions. EmLedger uses tier-based pricing - you pay one price based on how many entities you manage, not per entity. This can save you up to 92% compared to competitors.
Can I migrate from QuickBooks to EmLedger?
Yes. EmLedger provides migration tools and support for importing data from QuickBooks Online, Xero, and other accounting software. Our team can assist with complex migrations involving multiple entities.
Does EmLedger have all the features QuickBooks has?
EmLedger includes 140+ features covering invoicing, bills, bank reconciliation, inventory, reporting, budgeting, and more. The key difference is our built-in multi-entity management - features that competitors either lack or charge extra for.
What if I only have one entity - is EmLedger still worth it?
If you have just one entity and no plans to grow, a competitor might work fine. EmLedger shines when you manage multiple entities. However, our Solo plan at $49/month is competitively priced even for single-entity use.
How does consolidated reporting compare to competitors?
QuickBooks and Xero require you to export data and manually combine it in Excel for consolidated views. EmLedger generates consolidated P&L, Balance Sheet, and Cash Flow statements across all your entities with one click, including proper inter-company eliminations.
Is there a learning curve switching from QuickBooks?
EmLedger uses familiar accounting concepts - chart of accounts, journals, reconciliation, etc. Most users familiar with QuickBooks or Xero find EmLedger intuitive. The main difference is the entity switcher, which is simpler than managing multiple separate accounts.
