Two versions of your business. Choose one.

Before XIntelliSync

Xero records last week's invoices. You still chase this week's manually.

BAS week = 3 days of pulling data from 4 different places.

You pay Xero $97/mo plus another $467/mo in add-ons to match what XIntelliSync does at $297.

Your accountant charges $400/quarter to fix what Xero collected but didn't organise.

Cash position is whatever you can remember — not what's actually in your account.

After XIntelliSync

Automated Invoice Follow-up sends reminders at Day 7, 14, and 21 — automatically.

BAS agent prepares your quarter. You review. Done. Accountant reviews, not rebuilds.

One platform replaces Xero + 5 add-ons. $297/mo instead of $467/mo.

Real-time cash flow forecast updated daily from live bank data via Basiq.

ATO benchmark risk scoring tells you if your margins are compliant — before the ATO does.

The reasons operators switch

Xero does what you tell it. Nothing more.

No agent watches your cash flow at 2am. No agent notices a client is 30 days overdue. No agent preps your BAS without a reminder. You still do the work — just inside a nicer interface.

Xero's payroll is a separate invoice.

The day you hire your first employee, your Xero bill goes up. Payroll is a bolt-on. So is inventory. So is project management. The base price is the floor, not the ceiling.

You pay for the accountant AND the software.

Xero was supposed to reduce your accounting bill. Instead, most SMBs still pay an accountant because Xero still needs one. XIntelliSync's agents do the preparation — your accountant reviews, not rebuilds.

In 2026, accounting software should have AI. Xero has zero agents.

150+ specialised agents. Each built for a specific business task. Every hour you spend manually inside Xero is an hour already included in your XIntelliSync subscription — done automatically.

Simple pricing. No hidden costs.

First month 50% off. No setup fees. Cancel anytime.

Common questions

What is the best Xero alternative in Australia?+

XIntelliSync is an Australian-built AI Business OS that replaces Xero and the 5–6 add-ons most Xero users need. Unlike Xero, which is accounting-only software, XIntelliSync includes accounting, CRM, payroll, inventory, BAS preparation, and 150+ AI agents — all from $97/month AUD.

Is XIntelliSync cheaper than Xero?+

Both start at $97/month. But Xero requires separate products for payroll, CRM, inventory, and rostering. The average Australian SMB spends $467+/month on a Xero-centred stack. XIntelliSync Growth replaces all of it for $297/month — saving $170/month or $2,040/year.

Does XIntelliSync do Australian payroll and BAS?+

Yes. XIntelliSync includes STP Phase 2 payroll preparation, superannuation (12% SGC), PAYG withholding, and AI-assisted BAS preparation — all included in every plan. Final ATO lodgement is completed externally via the ATO Business Portal, same as Xero.

Can I import my Xero data into XIntelliSync?+

Yes. Your existing invoices, customer records, and transaction history can be imported during onboarding. The guided wizard takes most businesses under 10 minutes to complete.

Does XIntelliSync have AI agents Xero doesn't?+

XIntelliSync includes 50-150+ AI agents depending on plan tier. Xero has zero AI agents. These agents cover invoice follow-ups, BAS prep, bank reconciliation, customer health scoring, revenue forecasting, and 140+ other workflows.

How long does switching from Xero take?+

Most businesses complete the switch in under 10 minutes using the onboarding wizard. Data import, agent configuration, and first automated tasks all happen on day one.

Does XIntelliSync comply with Australian tax law?+

XIntelliSync prepares and organises your tax data in compliance with ATO requirements including BAS, GST, PAYG, and STP Phase 2. Final lodgement is completed externally via the ATO portal — the same workflow as Xero.
