Saudi cloud accounting with ZATCA e-invoicing, inventory and POS

Qoyod is a Saudi cloud accounting platform founded in Riyadh in 2016 and operated by Automated Cloud for Communications and Information Technology Company, a Saudi limited liability company. It covers accounting, ZATCA e-invoicing, inventory, POS, HR and CRM, and also serves Jordan from an office in King Hussein Business Park. Qoyod says more than 35,000 Saudi businesses use it.

Pros

  • + Saudi company with a Riyadh office and Saudi terms of service
  • + Qoyod says it is ZATCA-certified and submits invoices to Fatoora in real time
  • + Projects and tasks on the Pro and Advanced plans
  • + 14-day free trial, no card required

Cons

  • โˆ’ Phase 2 e-invoicing integration starts on the Professional plan, not Basic
  • โˆ’ Basic plan covers only Phase 1 e-invoicing and excludes projects and purchases
  • โˆ’ Plans cap users and locations (1, 3 or 5); extra users are charged separately
  • โˆ’ Accounting software, not construction project management

Saudi Arabia note

Qoyod says it is certified by ZATCA and issues Phase 1 and Phase 2 e-invoices, sending each invoice to the Fatoora platform in real time with a QR code, digital signature and cryptographic stamp. Its 2025 plan guide puts Phase 2 integration and project tracking on the Pro and Advanced plans only, so a business that ZATCA has called into a Phase 2 wave needs Pro or Advanced.

Typical Saudi Arabia pricing: Published on Qoyod's plan page (yearly billing, Saudi riyals): Basic 1,200 a year (1 user, 1 branch, Phase 1 e-invoicing), Professional 1,800 a year (3 users, 3 branches, Phase 2 integration), Advanced 2,211 a year on a 33% three-year discount from 3,300 (5 users, 5 branches); Business is custom-priced. Add-ons: payroll 120 per employee a year, POS 600 per user a year, extra users 240 a year, extra branches 480 a year. Monthly billing is also offered; 14-day free trial.
