# System Six Alternatives

System Six publishes no pricing at all, so a new owner cannot size the engagement before taking a call, and the figures on its own page are unaudited and undated. It also sponsors the main acquisition podcast, so its name recurs there as advertising rather than as somebody's account of using it.

## What Searchers Use Instead

- Pilot (Subscription, https://searchspheresource.com/resources/pilot): Publishes its price from the first tier, so the monthly cost is knowable before the call, on accrual books and a monthly close.
- Bookkeeper360 (Subscription, https://searchspheresource.com/resources/bookkeeper360): Publishes both cadences and what each costs, and puts payroll and tax with the bookkeeping under one team on QuickBooks or Xero.
- Decimal (Subscription, https://searchspheresource.com/resources/decimal): Runs the whole back office of an operating business rather than the books alone, though its tiers are still quoted rather than published.
- Ravix Group (Custom Pricing, https://searchspheresource.com/resources/ravix-group): For the case where the books have to be rebuilt before anybody can run them, which is a different job from keeping them.
