To start, the PeachCare plan for a single user will set you back a whopping $229, with 60 minutes of contact with a support specialist included and phone support available only on weekdays between 8:30 a.m. Online resources include a knowledge base and live chat, but you'll have to pay to use them. After that, fees for help are steep, and they can easily double the cost of the software. You'll get a trifling 30 days of free support once you register Peachtree 2007. Sage Software also offers a bundle of industry-specific Premium versions of Peachtree 2007, which include those for nonprofits, construction, accounting, manufacturing, and distribution. At the high end, the $500 Peachtree Premium provides advanced reporting, archiving, billing, and inventory tools not found in Complete. The $70 Peachtree First is for mom-and-pop shops that need a simple bookkeeper without password security, payroll and tax tools, and so on. Taking a step down, the $170 Peachtree Pro version lacks the Business Status Center, online banking, bill-pay, Outlook integration, and other features. Priced at $270, Complete Accounting is the midrange offering in the Peachtree family. We also like the Internal Accounting Review to help avoid trouble with the IRS at tax time, and the ability to lock prior reporting periods. For instance, it does a better job of presenting reports of fast-selling and slow-selling items. Then again, Peachtree tops QuickBooks at inventory management. What's missing is a wizard for importing data directly from Excel, which QuickBooks offers. Peachtree also synchronizes your contacts with Microsoft Outlook.
You can now export reports to Excel that retain their Peachtree layout, specific formulas, autofiltering, and other features. Peachtree 2007 offers better integration with Microsoft Excel, although QuickBooks still has the edge in this area.
