    MYOBXero
    Considered Both Products
    MYOB
    Chose MYOB
    I found Xero just a little to plain for my liking, I went with MYOB for my second business as it was easier to do this, and I already knew how it all worked. Xero does have a few features that are pretty good, but overall I think MYOB is a better product.
    Incentivized
    Chose MYOB
    better than Xero in several ways. Easy to use (if you can get it working by yourself without any support)
    Incentivized
    Chose MYOB
    I did a trial run on Xero I had trouble finding how to set up things, the customer support was terrible. The support you get from MYOB when you need it is really good.
    Incentivized
    Chose MYOB
    Some of my clients switched to Xero as they were using MYOB ACE payroll before but ACE payroll is a workstation based application which is not supported on Microsoft Server 2016 or Microsoft Server 2019. The only upgrade was the essentials and essentials plus but it was …
    Incentivized
    Chose MYOB
    I selected MYOB because most of our clients are using this tool, this is the most convenient accounting software for them that's why we adopted MYOB app and MYOB website. We also covered a training for our clients to make them see that this accounting tool is easily to use.
    Incentivized
    Chose MYOB
    Better platform, similar pricing, and much better customer communications and service.
    Incentivized
    Xero
    Chose Xero
    I think Xero is better than MYOB
    Incentivized
    Chose Xero
    MYOB has always seemed well behind in the functionality. We recently discontinued our DEAR subscription due to astronomical increase in subscription fees. While Xero doesn't do as much in terms of inventory management we can manage without that function for the lower price.
    Incentivized
    Chose Xero
    MYOB was tricky to navigate and got out of control really quickly compared to Xero. Xero has much cleaner interface and just works much better in my opinion
    Incentivized
    Chose Xero
    I've previously used MYOB and think it's reasonable to say that MYOB has functional advantages and more power compared to Xero but prefer to use Xero based on the simplicity of use and how the user interface is a bit more user friendly. In a small business with lower accounting …
    Incentivized
    Chose Xero
    MYOB certainly has its place in the industry and don't personally feel you could have one without the other. They both hold strong in the accounting software field and depending on client needs, varies my response to which one 'stacks up' better for that individual business. …
    Incentivized
    Chose Xero
    Xero is superior to MYOB in multiple ways, particularly government reporting, BAS and GST.
    Incentivized
    Chose Xero
    We find Xero much easy to use than MYOB, where we had to rely on our accountant for most of the day to day things.
    Incentivized
    Chose Xero
    Xero is so much easier to use than MYOB and we are really glad we made the switch.
    Incentivized
    Chose Xero
    We moved to Xero from MYOB; at the time, their online service was slow and clunky. Xero has an easier and better interface.
    Incentivized
    Chose Xero
    Handy to have Xero in the cloud so I can use it wherever I am. Help and support easier to access than MYOB was 3+ years ago. Selected Xero for multi-currency and easy payroll. Handles superannuation nicely, takes all the work out of submitting superannuation - this feature has …
    Incentivized
    Chose Xero
    Compared to the PC based MYOB that we (and other businesses I have been closely involved with) have run, Xero is simple and easy to use, saving headaches and problems. Xero is one product in the growing list of on-line offerings today across many fields, and (in my opinion) …
    Chose Xero
    Much prefer Xero for user-friendliness and easy to navigate.
    Incentivized
    Chose Xero
    Xero is easily to use than other accounting software.
    Incentivized
    Chose Xero
    Xero stands out as the industry leader in terms of ease of use, functionality, integration possibilities, usability, and reporting functionality. Having extensive experience with various accounting software as a business owner and mentor, Xero consistently proves to be my top …
    Incentivized
    Chose Xero
    Better user friendly dashboard, and cost effective.
    Incentivized
    Chose Xero
    They are all very similar products but Xero in my opinion has better user interface.
    Incentivized
    Chose Xero
    Xero had better recommendations and my accountant preferred it even though it wasn't the cheapest, it came out the most recommended. Wave had a free version and a fairly good mobile experience this was our second choice.
    Incentivized
    Chose Xero
    Xero has a much easier, user-friendly interface for ease of use in comparison to the above software and also saves time with day-to-day processing, payables, visibility on items due or requiring attention and the payroll is far easier to use. You can view previous pay runs and …
    Incentivized
    Chose Xero
    Xero could be slightly more expensive compared to these products but to me, Xero is the most user-friendly platform. It is very easy to use. Their support page and email support are also great. Apart from the platform, Xero has lots of integrations with other software providers …
    Incentivized
    Chose Xero
    Xero captures all data on one platform with seamless integration with other apps such as EFT systems, CRM, jobflow, etc. Xero processes faster than any other app and has better support systems and user manuals than other products. The price of Xero is very competitive based on …
    Incentivized
    Chose Xero
    Audit trail , ability to see attachment , user friendly reports
    Incentivized
    Chose Xero
    Xero has more features suited to my business, but the biggest decider was reoccuring invoicing.
    Incentivized
    Chose Xero
    We undertook this process nearly ten years ago, so I am fairly hazy on the alternatives!
    Incentivized
    Chose Xero
    Xero was inexpensive compared to the alternatives (Quickbooks online, MYOB, etc) and helped the business in similar ways.
