Hi folks. Congrats on this launch. As someone who's used Quickbooks for years, there's definitely an opportunity to build something that's a better experience. We're hearing about other new platforms like Rillet emerge in the market too. How do you folks think about their approach vs. yours?

We on the other hand focus on a simpler setup where small business owners and startup founders manage most of their business finances themselves.

Hey - I agree with your bookkeeping + tax filing points! Regarding the "Request quote" button - I hear you! Right now the product isn't positioned to serve mid/larger businesses so we basically have to make a case to divert/invest our engineering time into making the product work well for those companies.

Congrats on the launch, something I want to try. On your website I see $50 per month for revenue less than $50,000. And there is start for free. Is there is a free plan or is it just a trial for certain number of days ?

It's a trial for 14 days but if you need more time just send us a message and we'll figure something out
