Practical guides to running your business on Mac, iPad and iPhone: invoicing, projects, time tracking and working with the AI assistant.

  1. Implementation partners: how our partner directory works

    An implementation partner is an independent firm that sets up your business software, moves your data and trains your team. Our partner directory lets you search such firms by country, service, industry and language, and contact them directly.

  2. Why we built a native business app for Apple devices

    We built Swiftly Workspace, a native app for iPhone, iPad and Mac where you keep your customers and invoices, because we wanted a native Apple business app and none existed. We started with Apple for two reasons: tight integration with the operating system, and on-device AI for privacy.

  3. How to read a software plan comparison table

    Read a plan table as three questions: which tier holds the features you need, which modules must be bought separately, and which add-ons or limits apply to your team size. Then price the plan you will need in a year, not today.

  4. Free trial or demo: how to evaluate business software

    Use a demo to see whether a product fits, and a free trial to prove it works with your own data and team. Before either, write down the three to five jobs the software must do, then test each one end to end before you pay.

  5. Does e-invoicing cost extra? How PEPPOL access is priced

    Sometimes. PEPPOL access is usually priced in one of a few ways: included in an invoicing plan, charged per document, sold as an add-on or higher tier, or contracted directly with an access point. Receiving is sometimes priced differently from sending, so count both before you compare.

  6. Per-user, per-company or flat fee: software pricing models

    Per-user pricing grows with every account you add. Per-company and flat-fee pricing stay level as the team grows but usually cap features or usage instead. Tiered and usage-based plans grow with what you use. The right model is the one whose bill grows the way your business does.

  7. What does switching business software really cost?

    Switching business software costs more than the new subscription. Add the months you pay for both systems, the hours to export, clean and import data, rebuilding integrations and templates, training and a slower few weeks, plus exit terms and archive access for the old records.
