Why businesses switch from Sage

The reasons we hear most often from teams who move their books to Tyms.

Built for the cloud from day one

Sage 50 grew up on the desktop. Tyms runs in your browser and on WhatsApp, so your whole team works on the same live books from anywhere.

A fairer price

Sage 50 Pro starts at $132 a month for a single user, paid a year at a time. Tyms Plus is $20 per seat a month, and you can start for free.

AI that is already here

Sage Copilot depends on which product and region you are in. Adam is in every Tyms account today, reconciling, recording and explaining your books.
