Hurdlr vs. Zoho Expense

Hurdlr is great for simple self-employment tracking (income, expenses, taxes). It's not as powerful as something like Quickbooks in my opinion, but honestly I think that's a good thing. No need to overcomplicate things if you don't need all those features. Hurdlr is perfect for exactly what you need as a self-employed person. I have always been able to do everything I need to do with Hurdlr and it's simple and easy to use. Most importantly, everything is quick. I can quickly add income and expenses, and quickly export reports. Works exactly the way it needs to.

Zoho Expense is wonderful when you have a distributed or remote team or workforce that needs to submit expenses reports throughout the month into a single software and approval system. Zoho Expense does make it easy to train, onboard, and use all of the end-user features for submitting and generating expense reports.

• Quickly adding income
• Quickly adding expenses
• Helping me determine how much to pay for quarterly taxes
• Quick profit and loss statements

• The program will notify users if they have entered a duplicate charge.
• Once the end-users understood that receipts were mandatory, attaching those receipts has become second-nature. The app makes it very easy to do so.

Incentivized

• The Tax tab loading properly and consistently - frequently doesn't pull up (on mobile) in my experience
• An integration with TurboTax would be awesome (to make it super easy to do taxes)

Incentivized

• Banking integration should be two ways, once corporate card is paid for, it should close the line item
• Reports should be available on demand

Ease of use for the simple basic options. I wish the there was an option for reimbursement to be marked separately. Example for all corporate credit expense reports with $0 reimbursements still have to be marked as reimbursed in order to be removed from pending reimbursement section. For the cost the features offer benefits

The only reason I give Zoho a 9 is because of the issue with the Chart of Accounts skewing every time I export/import. I believe this is due to the fact that I use sub-accounts and Zoho cannot differentiate. Still hoping. :)

Hurdlr is much cheaper and less complicated than QuickBooks. Less money, less time, less frustration than QuickBooks. I used QuickBooks Online for another business and had to spend hours and hours figuring out how to set it up, and ultimately had to pay an accountant to do it for me. So much wasted money and time compared to Hurdlr, which was easy, and free to get started. I'm sure some businesses need QuickBooks, but if you have a pretty simple self-employed business, Hurdlr is definitely superior.

Zoho Expense is on the lower end with limited features however the cost out weights all the fancy features the others have. As they charge way to much and have limited return on investment. The return on investment for the other platforms is only worth it when operating large scale operations. Zoho Expense is a great product
