The reason teams switch
Why customers are leaving Xero
Separate tool for everything except accounting
Xero is a best-in-class accounting platform. But invoices start in your CRM, projects are tracked elsewhere, and payroll is a $39+/mo add-on. You're still managing 4+ tools.
Payroll is an expensive add-on — and limited geographically
Xero Payroll costs $39+/mo on top of your subscription and is only available in select countries. Global or multi-currency payroll requires costly third-party add-ons.
5-user cap on entry plan, steep upgrade cost
Starter limits you to 5 bills and 20 invoices per month. Growing beyond that means jumping to plans at $47–80+/mo — plus add-ons for what you thought was included.
