DualEntry vs Xero FAQ
Is DualEntry a good alternative to Xero?
Yes, if you've scaled past what Xero was built for. Xero is clean and affordable for single-entity small businesses. The problem at scale is that it has no group consolidation and treats each entity as its own silo. DualEntry is an AI-native ERP for SaaS and mid-market finance teams, with real-time multi-entity consolidation, automated close, and 13,000+ integrations.
How much does Xero cost compared to DualEntry?
Xero runs $25 to $90 a month across Early, Growing, and Established, with unlimited users. For a small business that's real value. Where it runs out is scale: no multi-entity consolidation and thin automation. DualEntry is priced for mid-market and SaaS finance teams on two plans, Plus and Ultra, implementation included. Request a quote for your entities and users.
When should you switch from Xero to DualEntry?
When Xero's single-entity design starts costing you time. You feel it when you're consolidating multiple entities, rebuilding group reports in spreadsheets, running intercompany eliminations by hand, or getting books audit-ready for a raise or IPO. Teams juggling several entities in Xero can lose 60 to 80 hours a month to manual consolidation.
Can Xero do multi-entity consolidation?
No, and it isn't on Xero's roadmap. Each Xero organization is its own silo, with a separate login and chart of accounts, so you get no group P&L, no consolidated balance sheet, and no intercompany elimination. Teams stitch it together in spreadsheets or bolt-on tools. DualEntry consolidates in real time, with automated elimination built in.
How long does it take to migrate from Xero to DualEntry?
As fast as 24 hours. A CPA-led migration moves your chart of accounts, entities, and history off Xero, no long ERP implementation to sit through. A Xero export-and-rebuild on your own usually runs 3 to 5 business days. Implementation is included in every DualEntry plan, so there's no separate services bill.
Is Xero still the better choice?
Often, yes. If you're single-entity with straightforward books and want something easy and affordable with unlimited users, Xero is hard to fault. DualEntry earns its place once you're consolidating multiple entities and need real-time consolidation, automated close, and audit-ready reporting, which Xero doesn't do.
