Chose Melio
1. One thing I like about Melio is the free version for small businesses or individuals or soleprenuels .
2. Melio offers free bank to bank payments on all plans, even the free version unlike other competitors.
3. You can pay vendors with credit cards even if they don't accept …
Chose Melio
I have used Bill, Mercury and Novo. They all meet my requirements' for my business and do similar services. However, I have been sticking with Melio over the other products as it meets all the needs for my business. Melio is a turn key solution for me. Melio is all I am using …
Chose Melio
Melio has much better customer service and lower fees than the competitors I've tried!
Chose Melio
Melio stacked up well against other solutions. The workflow and reporting were simple and the payment options were less expensive, without a monthly subscription. The ability to pay multiple invoicing in a few short clicks was appealing. The updated payment workflow was …
Chose Melio
I love Melio compared to bill.com, which seems to be full of fees and annoying ads that Melio does not have.
Chose Melio
Melio is 100% free if you just use ACH, and that by itself would be reason enough for me to stick with the platform, it boats a ton of other useful features that add to the experience.
Chose Melio
Melio tested to be much easier to use than BILL.
Additionally, Melio is free for bill payment; others charge quite a bit. Being able to recommend a free app to our clients makes standardizing on a single solution very easy for us.
Chose Melio
Less features than Ramp, but a solid option for free use for ACH. If you need International wires, fees may be higher than other options. However, you can issue paper checks, ACH, wires or use a linked credit card to pay bills.
Chose Melio
I prefer Melio due to its simplistic interface.
Chose Melio
I prefer Melio over Bill.com. I prefer Melio because it is easier to cancel or correct a payment on the platform. I like the way that Melio lets you track vendor requests for payment information. I like that it is easy to follow the payment all the way through the process to …
Chose Melio
It is pretty good, but clients call frustrated with it when they have to fix things. I cannot offer it to advanced clients, since the system is too simple.
Chose Melio
Bill.com is more expensive and more difficult to use than Melio. While it has a greater range of functionality and apparently has better integration into QuickBooks, we didn't need the greater functionality and I had just as much trouble integrating into Bill.com as I have with …
Quadient Accounts Receivable
Chose Quadient Accounts Receivable
Quadient stacked up pretty well. Pricing was a bit higher than what we wanted to spend; however, based on the value we are receiving in a streamlined product, we pulled the trigger on it. Dunning was a bit more limited and manual process in the collections process so we opted …
Chose Quadient Accounts Receivable
Very similar to Tesorio - more cost effective but less savvy in forecasting piece. Quadient customer service is A+. Much more functional workflow capability than NetSuite.

MelioQuadient Accounts Receivable
Likelihood to Recommend
Melio is particularly well suited for small businesses above $100K in revenue whose owners want to save time and simplify bill payments. It is helpful to bookkeepers so that they don't have to ask the owners, over and over again, "what was that check for?" and "can you send me the bill?"

Suited for all sizes, we used them when we were 200 employees and now 500 and seems to be going smoothly.

Pros
  • The simplicity it adds to business payments is a great deal. One feature we really value it the ability to pay vendors by check. Melio prints and mails checks for us which saves time and hassle.
  • Payment scheduling tool is another thing we enjoy. This tool lets us plan ahead and manage cash flow more effectively by setting payment dates in advance.
  • Another thing Melio does well is the tracking of payment.
  • There was a time a vendor claimed that they hadn't been paid, but with just a few clicks we could see the check has already been delivered.
  • This kind of transparency gives us confident and keep things professional.
  • The integration with other platform or accounts like QuickBooks is an experience I did love to keep.

  • Self serve and easy access to customer documents
  • provides a full audit of all collection notes for any invoice in a single repository of data
  • Allows your collection team to become more proactive on issues than reactive - the automated services Quadient offers remove a lot of the manual human tasks

Cons
  • There should be an automatic link between vendors added with their Melio link and the same vendors that already exist in QuickBooks. As it is now, a new vendor is created when you do that and is not linked with the one that already is in QuickBooks.

  • Being able to tell clients which invoices were applied to for payment application

Amazing tool which we love. Definitely something to consider if you have a high volume of customers or your team runs lean as it does a lot of the touches without human support

Usability
Melio has been a very important tool in the advancement of our business. With great features, it has made payments to vendors seamless and hassle free. In terms of vendor management, account/data tracking, and scheduling of payments in advance. This has formed the base that we are still with Melio till today.
