Pros and cons
Pros
- A free plan is offered, so you can begin at no cost, with paid entry at RWF 30,000.
- Local compliance covers e-invoicing under e invoicing, a focus shared by 94.7% of the field.
- Bank feeds are included, a feature 96.8% of the compared accounting software also carries.
- It runs on Web, Android and iOS, so the books open in a browser and on a phone.
Cons
- Support runs on email, help centre and community only, so live help comes by email, a help centre or a community.
- free plan is the only published model, so paid tier detail rests on the RWF 30,000 entry price alone.
- A free plan is not unusual here, at 49.7% of the accounting software compared, so it does not set Zata apart.
Who it suits
- Small businesses, the audience named in small business.
- Teams whose filing is built around digital invoices, covered by e invoicing.
- Owners who want bank feeds included and a free plan to start on before paying anything.
Who should look elsewhere

- Billy, listed from DKK 160, when a different currency suits your accounts.
