Why businesses pick Spheyas

The invoice list in Spheyas, showing invoice numbers, customers, dates, amounts and payment status.

A free plan, not a countdown

Xero starts at $7 a month once the 30-day trial ends, and that tier stops at 5 invoices. Spheyas Free stays free: 20 finalized documents a month, full accounting, no card asked for.

The invoice cap lifts sooner

Xero Starter caps you at 20 invoices and 5 bills a month for $29. Spheyas gives you the same 20 for nothing, and removes the cap entirely at $12.

Every location included

Premium runs unlimited branches and regions for $29 a month, rather than a separate subscription for each entity you run.

When Xero is the better choice

Spheyas isn't right for everyone. Stay where you are if any of this describes you.

  • You need automatic bank feeds and transaction reconciliation — Spheyas does not do those.
  • You use Smart Document Capture, multiple currencies, project tracking or cash-flow forecasting.
  • You rely on Xero's app marketplace, or your accountant works only in Xero.
  • You want an established product with a large support and advisor network.

Spheyas is a young product in early access. If bank feeds and reconciliation are central to how you work, Xero 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.
