Mostly negative
- Positive 2 of 11
- Neutral 1 of 11
- Negative 8 of 11
8 of 11 public comments from Australians in the last six months are negative, 2 positive and 1 neutral. Most come from long-time Reckon Accounts users facing rising yearly fees, new add-on charges and a push to move online.
- Reckon Community negative This Australian Reckon customer, a 13-year Reckon Accounts Hosted user, was locked out without notice and made to buy three non-refundable licences under the per-entity licensing rule, and says the added expense is too much to bear merely to keep their ATO obligations met. Karen Nelson (opens the original on Reckon Community)
- Trustpilot.com negative This Australian Reckon customer, a sole operator, says each yearly licence renewal has brought a slower product with no smaller plan to drop to, and feels locked in, paying every year just to keep reaching their own records. Mike (opens the original on Trustpilot.com)
- Trustpilot.com negative This Australian Reckon customer, a long-term Reckon Accounts Personal Plus user who otherwise rates the product highly, feels the yearly fee delivers no product improvements and that the subscription keeps their records captive. ALIAN (opens the original on Trustpilot.com)
- Reckon Community negative This Australian Reckon customer says running Reckon Home & Business plus a separate Reckon STP product is getting expensive at close to A$500 a year, and asks whether the payroll charge can be waived. 27128 (opens the original on Reckon Community)
- Reckon Community negative This Australian Reckon customer, on QuickBooks and then Reckon Accounts Hosted for 19 years, says the business now issues far fewer invoices, so the annual fee no longer feels worth it, yet switching would mean losing years of records, and asks whether a lower-cost option exists. Cheryl_9973373 (opens the original on Reckon Community)
- Reddit.com negative This Australian Reckon customer, a builder on Reckon Accounts Hosted for 12 years, says Reckon's new bank-linking and Payday Super add-on would cost roughly another A$500 to A$600 a year, which puts Reckon above Xero on price. Hawkins782 (opens the original on Reddit.com)
- Reckon Community neutral This Australian Reckon customer says their Reckon One subscription has risen from about A$8 to A$54 a month over the years, accepts that ATO requirements explain part of it, but wants usability fixes in return. Peter_9962328 (opens the original on Reckon Community)
- ProductReview.com.au positive This Australian Reckon customer from South East Queensland says nothing else matches Reckon on monthly cost, and that its ticket-based support replies fast. Violet S. (opens the original on ProductReview.com.au)
