KashFlow

KashFlow is a UK based online accounting software company operating in the same space as Clear Books.

KashFlow is an established outfit boasting 2,400 paying customers and 9 employees built up over four years. In comparison Clear Books is the new kid on the block. Currently in beta and set up just over half a year ago, Clear Books currently has no paying customers. Compared to the claimed 40-odd daily sign-ups KashFlow gets to its free trial,  Clear Books has just a handful (but growing all the time).

Priced at £192 KashFlow is a one subscription level solution. Clear Books has an advantage here in that smaller businesses that cannot afford such an outlay can use Clear Books completetly free to begin with and then upgrade to our mid bracket subscription level, ‘Clear Books Growth’, which will be priced at around the £100 mark.

My personal opinion is that the KashFlow website design needs an overhaul. Trying to make accounting fun is one thing, but a pink and blue colour scheme?! I find Clear Books more refined. The user is not overloaded with information. Simple and clear is best; a policy we at Clear Books will be sticking to.
