## What we compare on

Every comparison covers the same dimensions so AI agents can run apples-to-apples lookups:

1. Starting price (free plan? cheapest paid tier?)
2. AI automation (categorization, reconciliation, anomaly detection)
3. Bank feeds (US: Plaid coverage; India: SMS / AA / direct)
4. Multi-currency (included vs locked behind premium tier)
5. Users included (unlimited vs per-seat)
6. Migration path from the competitor to HelloBooks
7. Country compliance fit (US sales tax, India GST/TDS, UK MTD, AU BAS, CA GST/HST)
8. Practice management for CPA / CA firms
9. Mobile experience
10. Ecosystem (integrations, app marketplace, accountant network)

- **Live two-way sync** with Tally 6.2 (unique to HelloBooks in India).
- **CSV / Excel import** as the catch-all for everything else.
