When it comes to deciding whether QuickBooks Desktop or QuickBooks Online is best for your business, PosPROStore can definitely help you figure out which is best for you. However, it’s important to note that the two differ considerably when it comes to features, data accessibility and pricing.
QuickBooks Desktop (QBD) has more features than Quickbooks Online (QBO) but QBO boasts features that are not available on QBD. All QBO pricing includes unlimited customer support and continuous access to data while QBD requires that the purchaser buy that particular service separately.
QBO is likely the best choice for your business if you require:
- The need to give your accountant or other users access from any location.
- The ability to enter transactions using a mobile device, PC or Mac because with QBO there is no software installation.
- Automatic, real-time updates, regardless of how many users are making changes to your data.
QBD is probably the best route to take if you require:
- More than one tracking option for inventory needs because it offers the user the average cost method or the First In First Out method (available upon purchasing he Advanced Inventory add-on).
- Batch invoicing capability, which allows you to invoice multiple clients, who are all receiving the same bill and service, at the same time.
- Industry-specific features for businesses that under these categories: Contractor, General Business, Manufacturing and Wholesale, Professional Services, and Retail and Nonprofits.
