Not just the name changed, customer support improved a lot and the tool have more options. It's worth nothing that this tool will only working for people that are US-based. The double entry booking is the same used by Quickbooks and software like it. It's possible to attach receipts, invoice customers and charge them using Stripe, Square, PayPal and other payment gateways. It's a very powerful app, yet, simple > > **Cons**: It would be nice to see recurring payments, a set and forget to charge customers that are on subscriptions. Support told me they will add it soon\! ----- ### "Great Booking Software With Service" — 5.0/5 > **Greg** | *3 June 2020* | Legal Services | Recommendation rating: 10.0/10 > > **Pros**: Bookkeeping is not a sexy task, but Sunrise makes it bearable. And, the results are impressive. > > **Cons**: Getting up to speed on the learning curve could be a little better. > > Ease of use. Always on top of revenue and expenses. ----- ### "Terrible bait and switch" — 1.0/5 > **Tom** | *7 March 2022* | Internet | Recommendation rating: 0.0/10 > > **Pros**: The UI used to be good, but it's been going downhill recently. > > **Cons**: What I like the least is the company that currently owns Sunrise and the way they have been treating early adopters... Lendio acquired an accounting product originally called Billy, and renamed it Sunrise. First, they kicked out all the users outside the US and Canada (despite them paying for a lifetime license). Over the past few months they have started forcing early adopters to pay monthly for a product they already purchased a lifetime license to. It would be fine to charge for new features, but they are forcing users to pay for already existing features (e.g. you can't modify your existing invoice templates without paying again, for example, nor sync transactions with PayPal, and more). I'm sure this is legal and all, but it's not a nice way to treat customers... 👎 > > The product used to be good, but now it's just full of annoying upsells and pushing Lendio's credit product at every chance. The UI has gotten more confusing over time, they really don't have the user experience in mind when developing the product. ----- ### "Great Program\! Simple & Easy to Use" — 5.0/5 > **Chris** | *5 May 2020* | Financial Services | Recommendation rating: 10.0/10 > > **Pros**: I love how easy it is to use. As a former quickbooks user, I was tired of how complicated they were for smaller businesses and just didn't like the look of it overall. Using Sunrise is very simple and has everything I need as a small business owner. I love how it integrates and matches my expenses and payments with my bank account, credit card and invoices. > > **Cons**: The only process I found difficult was when I have made a return of a product. Trying to reconcile that was not as simple as I feel it could be. > > It has helped me exponentially in balancing my books and keeping me on track. ----- ### "An Amazing Alternative to Other Accounting Programs" — 5.0/5 > **James** | *11 September 2018* | Marketing & Advertising | Recommendation rating: 10.0/10 > > **Pros**: What I like the most about Billy is the ease of use. It's simple to get started and get your bank accounts set up and create invoices, quotes, etc. > > **Cons**: What I like the least about this software is that I have two businesses that I use Billy with and because it's cloud based I have to log into two differnt accounts, one with chrome and the other with firefox. It makes it complicated if you have more than one business as you will need different log-ins and subscriptions. It would be awesome if they could expand it to contain multiple businesses with the ability to simply click on the business name and change to another business. > > I have really simplified my workflow using Billy. It's been a great tool to use to set up recurring invoices for some of my clients. ----- Page: 1 / 10\ Next: [Next page](https://www.getapp.com.au/software/106893/sunrise?page=2) ## Links - [View on GetApp](https://www.getapp.com.au/software/106893/sunrise) ## This page is available in the following languages | Locale | URL | | de | | | de-AT | | | en | | | en-AE | | | en-AU | | | en-CA | | | en-GB | | | en-IE | | | en-NZ | | | en-SG | | | en-ZA | | | es | | | es-CL | | | es-CO | | | es-MX | | | fr | | | fr-BE | | | fr-CA | | | nl | | | nl-BE | | | pt | | | pt-PT | | ----- ## Structured Data
