- QuickBooks: 15 of 18 labels negative. "Large enterprises should steer clear of platforms designed for small businesses (QuickBooks, FreshBooks, Xero, Wave, Zoho Books)" (GLM 4.7 FlashX, negative prompt)
- FreshBooks: 9 of 9 labels negative. "FreshBooks is designed for freelancers and service-based businesses... it doesn't support true multi-entity accounting.
