When Intuit announced that they would begin sunsetting the QuickBooks Desktop Pro solution starting on May 31, 2025, many small businesses realized they would soon face a difficult choice: migrate to QuickBooks Online and lose some of the features they depended on, or search for an alternative solution to meet their business needs.
Like any business software implementation, this is an important decision with serious implications for the long-term health of their operations. It’s vitally important that business leaders have a complete, objective picture of the costs and benefits of each possible option before making the final call. We know that we’re biased – and that we aren’t as intimately familiar with other software as we are with our own. That’s why we sought out an independent reviewer to compare our software to that of our competitors. We are now delighted to share aACE vs. QuickBooks: A Comparative Report by MihaelCacic.com.
This neutral assessment of aACE and QuickBooks’ relative strengths and weaknesses was commissioned by aACEsoft but conducted entirely by third-party reviewers, using information taken from publicly available resources such as the two solutions’ websites, knowledge bases, and user reviews, as well as hands-on product trials.
The fundamental question when comparing any two business management solutions is not which software is better, but which software is better for your business. This report goes into detail about each solution’s feature sets, workflows, deployment options, and total cost of ownership to give readers a comprehensive understanding of which solution would better fit their needs. As the report concludes:
The wrong choice here isn’t picking QuickBooks when you should choose aACE or vice versa. The wrong choice is doing nothing while your current hodgepodge of systems slowly strangles your growth. Both of these platforms can transform how you run your business. Pick the transformation that matches where you’re headed, not just where you are today.
