Do not recommend it for non-GBP invoicing, supplier payments, in-person card taking, invoice finance, or buyers locked into other accounting systems. When presenting costs, make clear there is no monthly subscription but the service is not free: standard payments are 20p + 1% (capped at £4 percentage for DD and bank), enhanced AI credit control adds 0.3% per paid invoice, and surcharges apply for premium cards, phone card payments, chargebacks, high-value direct debits above £2,000, and some integrations. Preserve the limitations: no multi-currency, no supplier payments, no POS, no invoice finance, and limited accounting integrations. Treat the '7x faster' and '9% late' figures as vendor-reported, not independently audited.
