Honest disqualify list

Five reasons not to buy EntryLedger. This page should lose some deals.

If you have no photocopy tail, if you need a live connector into Busy, Zoho or SAP, if you need 2B this month, if you need on-prem day one, if you want one vendor for everything: do not buy us. This page should lose some deals. That is the point.

A sales page that does not disqualify anyone is a sales page that lies to everyone. If you have no photocopy tail, we are the wrong product. If you need a live connector into Busy, Zoho or SAP, we are the wrong product. If you need 2B recon this month, we are the wrong product. If you need on-prem day one, we are the wrong product. If you want one vendor for everything, we are the wrong product.

Five reasons not to buy

1. No photocopy tail. 2. Need a live ledger connector. 3. Need 2B this month. 4. Need on-prem day one. 5. Want one suite. If any of these is true, this page should lose the deal.

Five reasons to stop readinghonest disqualify
1. No photocopy tail → every invoice is IRN → buy filing software
2. Need a live Busy / Zoho / SAP connector → not the right tool yet
3. Need 2B this month → buy Clear, not us
4. On-prem day one → not our default
5. One suite → buy a suite, not an inbox

1. No photocopy tail

Every invoice is IRN JSON. The supplier already generated an e-invoice. The GSTN has the data. You do not need a scan gate. You need filing software. Clear does that. We do not. Link IRN.

If your suppliers are all digital and your AP is already clean, the photocopy pile does not exist. We are built for the pile. If there is no pile, there is no job.

2. Need a live ledger connector

We produce a register file and manifest your team takes into its ledger. There is an optional Tally XML preview, but it is not import-qualified. We do not run a live connector into Busy, Zoho Books or SAP; if you need one, we are not the right tool yet. If your team can import a file, the batch is ledger-agnostic.

If you want to leave Tally for Zoho, that is a ledger decision. See Zoho vs Tally. If you want to leave Tally for Busy, that is a ledger decision. See Busy vs Tally. We do not do ledger migrations.

3. Need 2B recon this month

We do not ship 2B recon. We do not replace Clear. We do not replace the CA. The gate cleans the entry before it reaches your books. The sheet catches what happens after the ledger. If you need 2B recon this month, buy Clear. We will not lie and ship a dashboard we do not have.

Link 1 vs 2B vs 3B. Link Clear vs EntryLedger. We are the gate. Clear is the filing stack. Different jobs.

4. Need on-prem day one

Not the default SKU. Hosting is the default. On-prem is a conversation. If your legal team says "the server must be in our data centre" and that is a day-one requirement, we are not ready. See hosting.

On-prem is a different product. It is not what we sell today. If on-prem is non-negotiable, evaluate other solutions. We will not pretend we have something we do not.

5. Want one vendor for everything

Fair. Stay on Clear. Stay on Tally. Stay on whatever suite you have. We are an inbox. We are not a ledger. We are not a filing stack. We are not a CA. We are the thing that sits in front of your ledger and makes photocopies clean. If you want one vendor for everything, buy a suite. We will not pretend we are that.

Deal this page should lose

If you read this and thought "that is us," we are the wrong product. Do not buy EntryLedger because a sales page was convincing. Buy it because you have photocopies, your ledger can take a file, and you want a gate. If those three are true, create a workspace. If they are not, this page should save you a call.
