Why Xero Keeps Getting More Expensive
Two Price Hikes a Year, No New Features
Xero's raised prices almost twice a year for the past 3 years, up to 12% each time. The Established plan hit $90/mo. What changed? Not much. Loyal customers are just funding Xero's growth.
Need Inventory? That's Another $349/mo
Xero has no built-in inventory. You have to bolt on DEAR or Cin7 at $349+/mo. With Zoho, inventory syncs with your accounting out of the box. It's included.
Rigid Reporting, No Custom Fields
Xero's reports are stiff. No custom fields, no advanced filters, no cross-entity consolidation. Want the report you actually need? Export to a spreadsheet and build it yourself.
API Limits That Break Your Workflow
In 2026, Xero moved to usage-based API pricing. Your add-ons now hit connection limits and transaction caps. One Xero policy change can break your entire workflow overnight.

Everything Moves. Nothing Gets Left Behind.
We don't just move files over. Every item gets mapped, cleaned, and checked by our CA/CPA before it touches Zoho.
Our CA/CPA checks every record against your Xero source before anything goes live.
4 Weeks. Your Team Doesn't Skip a Beat.
Discovery & Mapping
We dig into your Xero setup: chart of accounts, bank feeds, connected apps, multi-currency config, reporting needs. You get a clear roadmap with no guesswork.
Data Extraction & Transformation
We export everything from Xero, reshape it for Zoho's structure, clean up duplicates, and reconcile accounts. Multi-currency configs get rebuilt exactly as they were.
Import & Parallel Run
Data goes into Zoho Books. Our CA/CPA checks every balance and tax setting. Both systems run side by side, so your day-to-day operations don't skip a beat.
Go-Live & Training
We cut over, train your team on Zoho Books, hand over docs, and give you 30 days of post-migration support. Bank feeds reconnect the same day.
