### "Give me da Gold Please\!" — 4.0/5

> **April** | *15 January 2025* | Retail | Recommendation rating: 5.0/10
> 
> **Pros**: great for budgeting and tracking expenses during month or quarter for large companies, easy to use interface, nice clean layout
> 
> **Cons**: way to expensive unless you own cooperate businesses or companies, not suitable for small business owners
> 
> i researched this service when starting up my business. signed up and paid the subscription for a trial basis then started getting my grounding, found several way cheaper, with more features, so decided not to continue this contract. i have eleven employees currently and WAP charges based on the users under said account id go bankrupt paying for this id suggest offering more suitable arrangements for smaller businesses, as there are tons more of those popping up everyday  theres too much competition in software options for any company to not offer a free or trial package one can afford.
