The importance of great marketing has been starting to sink in with me over the past months. I don't think there are hundreds of products, at least not in Australia, that are appropriate for the lower-end of the range. Off course the big two are well known and the rest (<10) not so much.... but how do you get known. Ah now I know what they did with that $50M. Thanks for the quick reply – Ken!

Ultimately it comes down to having a reasonable product, and great marketing. With more users, you then have the cash to build a better product. Xero has continued to roll out improvements over the past 2 years. Hope it goes well with your product. There must be hundreds of accounting software options.

I would like to share with you what we've done with minimal budget, hopefully we will find the way to make this a little bit better known.

I agree with Pete, Saasu has more functions than Xero, and Xero seems to be more user friendly. Having not used either I was wondering if either Xero or Saasu are offering more than just accounting. Does anyone know if these systems provide financial ratios or what if analysis? Cheers, Karolyn. Hi, I’m currently comparing Xero and Saasu.
