Alternatives, with limits
Qoyod alternatives — and when Qoyod is still right
Qoyod fits as an established Saudi accounting system. Consider an alternative for pre-account invoice tools, a clearer collections workflow, a static SAR price list, or a wider POS/HR suite (Daftra).
Saudi cloud accounting. Help Centre describes SMB self-serve plans with a 14-day no-card trial, and custom Enterprise pricing.
Qoyod and Fawtar
| Criterion | Qoyod | Fawtar |
|---|---|---|
| Price | Qoyod’s published 2025 table (VAT-inclusive): Basic SAR 138/month with one user and Phase 1, Pro SAR 207 with three users and Phase 2, Advanced SAR 379.50. Extra user SAR 240/year. Fawtar includes Fatoora integration in Business at SAR 99, with no per-user fee. | Free: up to 3 invoices/month with a Fawtar PDF footer. Pro SAR 49/month; Business SAR 99/month by card, Apple Pay or Google Pay through Lemon Squeezy, VAT included. Pro trial: 1 day, card checkout confirmation required; auto-renews unless cancelled. |
| Intended company size | Self-serve SMB plus sales-led Enterprise. | Freelancers and service SMEs. |
| Invoicing | E-invoicing included in SMB plans per the Help Centre. | Ordinary or tax invoice with Phase 1 QR. Preview without signup; PDF on a free account with no card (3 a month). |
| Quotations | Qoyod markets quotations as part of sales. | Arabic quotes with accept / revise / reject, then invoice and staged payments. Pro plan. |
| Collections | Qoyod is a full accounting system; operational collections should be verified in-product. | Payment requests, collection links, transfer proofs, receipts, a daily follow-up list, and reminder copy you send yourself. Pro. |
| Receivables aging | Not publicly documented as of 2026-08-29. An aging report in Fawtar’s exact buckets. | Customer aging (current / 1–30 / 31–60 / 61–90 / 90+) and CSV, plus a no-account calculator. |
| Accounting | Qoyod positions itself as a full Saudi accounting system. | Double-entry ledger with automatic posting on Business. Not a multi-company practice suite at Wafeq/Qoyod scale. |
| VAT reporting | Qoyod markets VAT reporting as part of Saudi accounting. | VAT report on Business, plus a public return estimator that does not store your figures. |
| ZATCA Phase 2 | Help Centre says SMB plans include Phase 2-compatible e-invoicing. Qoyod has a longer operational presence than Fawtar in this market. | A Phase 2 integration path exists on the Business plan: device onboarding with a Fatoora OTP, simplified-invoice signing, and Reporting/Clearance routes. As of 29 August 2026 no customer has completed production onboarding end to end, and Fawtar is not described as a ZATCA-approved or listed solution. |
| Inventory | Qoyod markets inventory; plan limits should be checked at signup. | Stock deduction with POS on Business. Not multi-warehouse / BOM inventory. |
| POS | Qoyod markets POS as a product or add-on. Inclusion versus paid extra is not static on public HTML. | POS issues a simplified tax invoice with QR, deducts stock, and runs cash-drawer shifts. Business plan. |
| Payroll | Qoyod markets payroll, often as an add-on. Confirm at signup. | Payroll with GOSI by nationality/scheme and a WPS file. Business plan. Not a full HRIS. |
| Project profitability | Not publicly documented as of 2026-08-29. Project-profitability detail on a static public page. | Project margin from quotes, invoices and costs on Business, including deposit and milestone billing. |
| API | Public REST API with ransack filters and an API-KEY header. | Documented REST + OpenAPI + MCP: Pro for invoicing, Business for everything. Filter grammar aligned with Qoyod to ease migration. |
| Webhooks | Not publicly documented as of 2026-08-29. A public webhook catalogue as explicit as Fawtar’s. | Signed webhooks for invoice and payment events, plus Google Sheets feeds. Docs are public. |
| Bank reconciliation | Qoyod markets bank reconciliation; confirm plan limits at signup. | User-reviewed statement matching on Business. Not a direct Saudi bank feed. |
| Branches | Wafeq claims Qoyod caps branches and charges per location. That is a competitor claim; verify on Qoyod. | Branches on the Business plan. |
| Cost centers | Not publicly documented as of 2026-08-29. Cost-centre detail in public HTML. | Cost centres on Business. |
| Mobile experience | Qoyod publishes a mobile app as its own product. | A PWA in the mobile browser. No native app-store application. |
| Integrations | Qoyod publishes integrations (including Salla). Use Qoyod’s current list. | Salla was tested on a real production store. Zid/Shopify/Woo paths exist. MCP, Sheets and webhooks. Not Foodics. |
| Free tier / trial | 14-day trial, no card. No perpetual free plan documented in the Help Centre. | Public tools with no signup, a free account at 3 invoices/month, and a 1-day Pro trial after card checkout confirmation. |
| Arabic UX | Arabic-first as a Saudi product. | Arabic-first RTL, with Arabic PDFs rather than mirrored English templates. Wafeq and Qoyod are Arabic too. |
| Limitations | List prices are not on a static marketing page. Payroll/POS/branch add-ons need confirmation at purchase. | Checkout in SAR by card, Apple Pay or Google Pay through Lemon Squeezy. The published 29 August 2026 snapshot records no completed customer Phase 2 production onboarding. No ZATCA approval claim or third-party ratings. |
| Best for | A business that wants a well-known Saudi accounting system with Phase 2 in the SMB plan. | A Saudi service business that needs an Arabic invoice today, then collections and a ledger, without starting on an ERP. |

Short questions
Is this an independent list?
No. Fawtar publishes it. The point is to show when the original product is still the better fit, and when Fawtar or a third system is.
Where do prices come from?
