Why businesses pick Spheyas
A free plan, not a countdown
Patriot gives you 30 days, then $20 a month. Spheyas Free stays free: 5 finalized documents a month, full accounting and the client portal, with no card asked for.
A portal for your clients
Every Spheyas plan, the free one included, shares documents with your clients through a portal. Premium adds messaging and acknowledgements, so questions about a document stay with the document.
Every location included
Premium runs unlimited branches and regions for $59 a month, with reporting per branch, rather than keeping each location in its own set of books.
When Patriot Software is the better choice
Spheyas isn't right for everyone. Stay where you are if any of this describes you.
- You want US payroll and tax filing from the same vendor — Patriot's payroll product is its strongest suit, and Spheyas has no payroll.
- You need automatic bank feeds and transaction reconciliation — Spheyas does not do those.
- You want the lower paid price — Patriot's accounting plans are $20 and $30 a month, against $29 and $59 for Spheyas.
- You want US-based phone support during business hours.
- You file 1099s and want that handled inside the same account.
Spheyas is a young product in early access. If payroll and US tax filing are the reason you are shopping, Patriot is the better fit today — we would rather say so than have you switch and find out.
Try it on your own books
The free plan doesn't expire and never asks for a card. Paid plans carry a 30-day money-back guarantee on your first payment.
