Ayrexa vs Xero & Sage
Xero and Sage are both excellent, well-established global platforms. Ayrexa takes a narrower, deliberate approach: built specifically around South African compliance and the tools a local business already uses.
Built around SARS, not bolted on
Country-aware VAT/GST rate templates, zero-rated export handling, and a SARS-ready VAT201 export (figures in the right layout for manual eFiling submission) — not a generic global tax module retrofitted for South Africa.
Local payroll and payments, natively
Sync a real pay run (SimplePay today, more providers pluggable) straight into a balanced PAYE/UIF/SDL journal, and take payments via PayFast or Pay-by-Bank — no separate add-on marketplace to shop through.
An AI CFO grounded in your own ledger
Ask about cash runway, fraud risk, or cost savings and get answers computed from your real posted invoices, bills, and journals — plus live South African GDP/inflation/unemployment context, not a generic chatbot bolted on top.
A real, independently-verifiable audit trail
Every change is cryptographically chained — each entry includes the hash of the one before it — so the full history can be re-verified at any time, not just logged to a table you have to trust.
Published pricing, no "contact sales"
Three real tiers with real ZAR prices on our Pricing page, monthly or annual, visible before you ever sign up — see exactly what you’ll pay and what each tier includes.
Security you can read in plain English
MFA, encrypted traffic, strict tenant isolation, and a documented support/uptime commitment — all laid out on our Security page, not buried in a sales deck.
