Gekko Reviews

Pros

I never got to actually use it because I ran into technical problems right from the start. It was frustrating not being able to even get past the setup stage and see how it could work for me.

Cons

Support completely disappeared after I requested a refund when their Revolut integration failed, despite earlier assurances it worked. Dennis stopped responding for days, then claimed they don't work on Tuesdays or Wednesdays, and ultimately refused the refund by citing legal technicalities. Basic features like adding invoices to costs are broken and after 8 years of development, the software still feels poorly tested. They seemed more focused on keeping my payment than on customer satisfaction or fixing the obvious bugs I reported.

Pros

The best thing I like is interface which is really simple and getting invoices out to my contacts takes just a couple of clicks. This simplicity saves me time and makes the whole billing process much smoother.

Cons

The interface feels a bit outdated for me at times, though it still gets the job done. While functional, a more modern design would make using it a more pleasant experience.

Pros

This was the first accounting software that caught my attention while I was looking at options. I picked it up quickly and have used it daily since 2017. It works well, keeps gaining features and the mileage tracking is especially handy for all those business trips.

Cons

Rabobank bank syncing isn't available yet though work is underway. Transactions can be added quickly by manually importing a file from Rabo and I'm looking forward to when they can be added automatically.

Pros

Easy to use, with automatic iDeal payment links and clear overviews by customer, time period and project. Customers can approve quotes to set payment terms before a project starts. It connects to an app for hours, travel expenses and receipts. The design looks appealing rather than like a dull accounting program and makes paying more attention to your numbers enjoyable.

Cons

There's no direct connection to my ASN bank yet and customers can't be merged. Each customer also needs a project before you can invoice them.

Pros

It is simple to use and free for keeping your accounts in order. It also works well with different apps for sending invoices and scanning receipts.

Cons

It would be nice to have more fun features added.

Pros

Simplicity is key! Gekko makes it really easy to create quotes and invoices. I mainly use the invoicing feature and it's very easy to enter invoices and schedule them. Some businesses I've recommended this software to also use the mileage feature and I've heard very positive things about it.

Cons

The UI could use some improvement in certain areas. I also still find it annoying that when I send a quote through the system, my customers see Gekko branding. It should really be white-labeled to avoid confusion.

Pros

VAT returns are quick to complete, expenses can be deducted quickly, hours are tracked by starting a timer and finances are easy to review.

Cons

Connecting to more than one online shop isn't possible.

Pros

Working with the software feels easy and I find it very easy to use.

Cons

A few more options would be welcome in the future.

Pros

Logging hours and sending invoices is easy and it connects to my bank account. It also calculates the VAT return automatically.

Cons

As a freelancer, it covers everything I need but it isn't suited to larger companies.

Pros

Gekko is simple to use and takes care of some of the work for you. It covers invoicing, time tracking and trip records and sends reminders when deadlines are coming up.

Cons

Options for the profit and loss statement and balance sheet are limited.

Pros

User-friendly, clear and accessible.

Cons

Recording trips can sometimes be a bit inconvenient.

Pros

The fact that it's completely free is fantastic. I find it really easy to navigate and the apps for trip tracking, invoicing and receipt scanning work easily together.

Cons

While having four separate apps instead of one comprehensive platform might seem inconvenient at first, I haven't actually run into any problems since they transition smoothly between each other.

Pros

Accounting feels simpler and is easy for small businesses to use, while the free plan is appealing.

Cons

It would be useful to have API support in the future.
