Home Phone and Internet $60/mo
Priced at $270, Complete Accounting is the midrange offering in the Peachtree family. Taking a step down, the $170 Peachtree Pro version lacks the Business Status Center, online banking, bill-pay, Outlook integration, and other features. 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. At the high end, the $500 Peachtree Premium provides advanced reporting, archiving, billing, and inventory tools not found in Complete. Sage Software also offers a bundle of industry-specific Premium versions of Peachtree 2007, which include those for nonprofits, construction, accounting, manufacturing, and distribution.
You'll get a trifling 30 days of free support once you register Peachtree 2007. After that, fees for help are steep, and they can easily double the cost of the software. Online resources include a knowledge base and live chat, but you'll have to pay to use them. 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. and 8:30 p.m. ET. Under PeachCare, each e-mail query you make deducts 10 minutes from your 60 minute total balance. The $329 Freedom Support plan offers more if you expect to have a lot of questions, with 12 months of unlimited phone or e-mail support. E-mail assistance guarantees a four-business-hour turnaround time.
With its dramatically improved interface and navigational tools, Peachtree Complete Accounting 2007 is a fine upgrade for longtime users. The Business Status Center may be too busy for some tastes, but you can easily customize it by removing a table or a graph. However, while we welcome the changes to Peachtree 2007, they're not stunning enough to merit the time-consuming process of migrating from a rival program. For example, if you're a devotee of QuickBooks, which recently underwent a significant overhaul, we recommend that you stick with that program.
