Why businesses pick Spheyas

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

Unlimited users, always

Zoho meters people: one user free, three on Standard, five on Professional, then $3 a head. On Spheyas everyone who touches the books gets a login at no extra cost.

Free does not end at $50,000

Zoho's free plan stops being available once your business passes $50,000 of annual revenue. Spheyas Free has no revenue ceiling — the only limit is 20 finalized documents a month.

Every location included

Premium runs unlimited branches and regions for $29 a month, rather than an add-on billed for each location you operate.

When Zoho Books 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 need multiple currencies, inventory tracking or timesheets and projects.
  • You already run Zoho CRM or Zoho One and want everything in one account.
  • You want deep workflow automation and a large integration marketplace.

Spheyas is a young product in early access with a deliberately narrower feature set. If you need inventory, multi-currency or the wider Zoho suite, Zoho Books is the better fit today.

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.
