Both providers have a free trial version as well as a demo version. As a result, entrepreneurs who want to do their own bookkeeping ( /flex) are more likely to be happy with bexio. While the development of bexio was primarily focused on the end user (entrepreneur), with Xero it was mainly the accountant. However, if the advantages and strengths of Xero do not offer you any significant additional benefits, there is every reason to use bexio as your accounting software. Xero also offers greater flexibility if your company is looking to internationalise in terms of investors, subsidiaries and/or registered office, because Xero is used worldwide and – via Spotlight Reporting – can also handle consolidations of different sites/subsidiaries. For example, if you use Stripe for SaaS subscriptions or Cin7 for your e-commerce inventory management, using Xero can make sense due to the various integrations, although you have to accept efficiency losses in banking due to the lack of connection to Swiss banks.

Whether bexio or Xero is the best cloud solution for your business depends on several criteria.
