QuickBooks
Tier A · ListedIntuit's cloud accounting, sold in Egypt as the QuickBooks Global edition with no ETA link
QuickBooks Online is Intuit's cloud accounting software; outside its localised countries it is sold as a Global edition, and Egypt appears in the country list on Intuit's global site. Intuit's global pages list four plans (Simple Start, Essentials, Plus and Advanced, for 1 to 25 users) but say nothing about Egypt's ETA e-invoicing or e-receipts. It fits a business already on QuickBooks that will add a separate ETA connector.
Pros
- + Familiar cloud accounting with a 30-day free trial
- + Multi-currency from the Essentials plan
- + Arabic-language version of Intuit's global site
- + ETA connectors such as OrchidaTax list QuickBooks integration
Cons
- − No ETA e-invoicing described; a third-party connector is needed
- − Global prices load by location; no fixed figures on the page
- − Intuit says AI outputs are in English only
- − Intuit has closed QuickBooks in a market before (India, announced 2022)
Egypt note
Egypt is in the country list of Intuit's QuickBooks Global site, but Intuit's global pages do not mention Egypt's ETA e-invoicing or e-receipt system. A business that must issue ETA documents needs a third-party connector; OrchidaTax, for example, lists QuickBooks Online and Desktop among its integrations.
Wafeq
Tier S · Published pricesUAE-based cloud accounting with an Egypt site and EGP pricing
Wafeq is cloud accounting software from Wafeq FZ-LLC, a UAE company, with an Egypt storefront in Arabic and English and prices in EGP. It covers invoices, quotes, purchase orders, inventory, payroll and 40+ financial reports; Wafeq says more than 18,000 companies use it. Its documented e-invoicing is for Saudi Arabia's ZATCA; its Egypt pages make no claim about Egyptian Tax Authority e-invoicing.
Pros
- + Published EGP prices for Egypt, monthly or yearly
- + Arabic and English interface
- + Invoicing, inventory, payroll and 40+ reports in one app
- + 14-day free trial with no card required
Cons
- − No Egyptian ETA e-invoicing claim on its Egypt pages
- − Contracts are with a UAE entity under Dubai (DIFC) courts
- − Support phone lines listed are in Dubai
- − Enterprise tier is quote-only and billed yearly
Egypt note
Wafeq has an Egypt site with Arabic and EGP pricing, but none of its Egypt pages, its sitemap or its developer e-invoicing guide mention the Egyptian Tax Authority; its documented e-invoicing is for Saudi ZATCA. An Egyptian business that must issue ETA e-invoices should confirm ETA support with Wafeq before buying.
