the features you need than having a free of charge application, but ending up paying
more for additional features. Moreover, you are never tied to one software: if you find
a solution with better pricing, but with the same features, you can always terminate
your account and move to a new one by exporting your data.

business, how many employees you have, whether or not you are a sole proprietor, which
features you will need to smoothly run your business, and, of course, which one you can
afford., then you know what you have to do: subscribe and enjoy.
