## Reviews

### "Easy Money Management for my Remote business" — 5.0/5

> **Vincent** | *2 February 2026* | Investment Management | Recommendation rating: 10.0/10
> 
> **Pros**: All-in-one platform that centralizes accounting, invoicing, expenses and cash flow with real-time financial visibility, easy bank/invoice matching, and seamless collaboration with your accountant.
> 
> **Cons**: Slow to implement and connect your bank, support can be hard to reach, and some features or integrations feel limited.

-----

### "Pennylane - The ERP 2.0" — 4.0/5

> **Arnaud** | *3 January 2026* | Health, Wellness & Fitness | Recommendation rating: 8.0/10
> 
> **Pros**: Facilité d'utilisation, user expérience très apréciable, un outil clé en main pour les petites entreprises et les start-up
> 
> **Cons**: Produit encore un peu jeune, n'ayant pas l'expertise de gros ERP, avec un temps assez long de développement de certains outils importants
> 
> Très content de l'utilisation globale de Pennylane, c'est un outil qui est game-changer sur le marché des ERP

-----

### "Good but need some improvement on flexibility" — 4.0/5

> **Jessica** | *18 December 2023* | Computer Software | Recommendation rating: 8.0/10
> 
> **Pros**: I love how easy it is when we need to reconcile expenses with receipts.
> 
> **Cons**: The app with pictures taken does not work well. I have had multiple "loss" of receipts because of this.
The other thing that would need to improve is subscriptions when billing. Invoices cant be different from invoice 1 and 2. For any subscriptions, they are all the same except the number of the invoice. Not very efficient...
The bank reconciliation is sometimes not totally perfect, but it is okay.
> 
> Overall it is a very useful and practical tool, but it needs logical adjustments.

### "Pennylane is the software I use to work with my bookkeeper" — 5.0/5

> **Juliette** | *8 November 2022* | Apparel & Fashion | Recommendation rating: 8.0/10
> 
> **Pros**: Pennylane is a good tool to work with your accountant, and it helps matching your bank account and your invoices. It is very easy to upload an invoice in Pennylane, and easy as well to generate invoices for your own customers. For my needs, that are quite basic, it is perfectly suitable.
> 
> **Cons**: The implementation process was quite long, and there is a connectivity issue with my bank account. Also, the customer support is very long to reach (there are super busy all the time).
> 
> Pennylane helps me work with my accountant and in the future I wish to use it more to manage my cash and my P\&L. But the process to implement all these things is actually longer than I expected.

### "Complet et simple à utiliser" — 5.0/5

> **Laurent** | *15 November 2025* | Insurance | Recommendation rating: 10.0/10
> 
> **Pros**: Complet, Intuitif et très efficace côté connectivité avec d'autres outils, comptabilité. 
Je perd beaucoup moins de temps à gérer mes transactions, mes notes de frais, c'est catégorisé et transmis directement à mon service de comptabilité avant qu'ils me relancent haha
> 
> **Cons**: Le prix, moins compétitif que d'autres solutions et la partie compte pro qui est top mais qui peut encore s'améliorer ou s'étoffer en fonctionnalités
> 
> Franchement, c’est super complet : tu gères vraiment tout au même endroit, la factu, la compta et y a aussi un compte pro que j'utilise maintenant en principal pour mon entreprise. 

Je trouve que l’interface est hyper intuitive vs mon précédent outil. Je paye un peu plus cher mais je peux tout faire et je n'ai pas besoin de bidouiller ou d'avoir d'autres outils. Avec le compte pro inclus, je peux faire autant qu'avant et ça revient au final moins cher pour plus de fonctionnalités.
