Ce qui compte dans cette decision

Accounting software must produce trustworthy books first; convenience features matter only after reconciliation, controls, and local requirements work.

For Freelancer teams, the shortlist gives more weight to operational fit, adoption, integration risk, and total cost than to raw feature count.
