Alternatives to Xero
Other Accounting vendors we measure, sorted by how much they publish that Xero does not. This is a comparison of disclosure, not of features or fitness.
12 shown of 26 that differ from Xero on at least one criterion we measured for both. Public transparency score, not a product or security rating.
Xero has 5 gaps in what we could measure: Data processing agreement, Subprocessor list, Uptime SLA with a figure, HTTPS enforced with HSTS, No third-party tracking before consent. The column “publishes and Xero does not” is the one that closes them.
