Bahrain note
Wafeq prices its Bahrain plans in dinars and offers an Arabic interface. Its Bahrain pages do not describe Bahrain VAT returns, so ask Wafeq to show a Bahrain VAT report before switching.
Zoho (Books)
Tier S · Published pricesCloud accounting with a Bahrain edition, VAT reports and published prices
Zoho Books is cloud accounting from Zoho with a Bahrain edition that applies VAT to sales and purchases and produces VAT reports for filing, in English or Arabic. Zoho publishes Bahrain prices in USD, from a free plan for small businesses up to an Ultimate plan. It handles invoicing, bookkeeping and project time billing, not construction management.
Pros
- + Bahrain edition with VAT reports for filing
- + Published Bahrain prices and a free plan
- + English and Arabic interface
- + Projects with time and expense billing
Cons
- − Accounting, not construction management
- − No construction BOQ or job-costing module listed
- − Extra users cost $2.5-$3 a month each
- − Free plan ends above 50K USD revenue a year
Bahrain note
Zoho runs a Bahrain edition with VAT reports and Arabic, and its Bahrain prices are lower than its US prices. Run it alongside a site or project tool rather than expecting it to manage jobs.
