Pros & Cons

Invoice2go

Pros

  • Purpose-built for mobile invoicing on the go
  • Multiple payment methods with decreasing card fees on higher tiers
  • Integrates with QuickBooks and Xero for accounting sync
  • 30-day free trial with money-back guarantee on all plans
  • Backed by BILL, a larger, established financial operations company

Cons

  • Starter and Professional plans cap the number of invoices per year
  • Card payment fees (2.9%-3.5%) are on top of the subscription cost
  • Phone support only available on the top Premium tier
  • Now a subsidiary product rather than an independent company, which can mean shifting roadmap priorities

Advent Software

Pros

  • Deep, decades-long track record in investment management software, dating to 1983
  • Backed by SS&C Technologies' scale and resources following the 2015 acquisition
  • Broad functional coverage spanning accounting, trading, compliance, and reporting in one ecosystem
  • Serves a large, established base of more than 5,000 buy-side firms globally
  • Continuity of legacy products like Geneva under a larger, well-capitalized parent company

Cons

  • No longer an independent company, so buyers are evaluating SS&C's broader offering rather than a standalone Advent product
  • Pricing is entirely custom and not published, requiring a sales engagement to get a quote
  • Enterprise-grade investment management platforms typically involve significant implementation time and cost
  • Legacy product naming can be confusing since offerings are now organized by SS&C's functional categories rather than original Advent product names
