FOUR KEY DIFFERENTIATORS

Where the gap is widest

Each one is a concrete cash flow forecasting difference.

FLEXIBLE FORECASTING

An operational forecast, not a report pack

Cash Flow Frog is the working cash forecast: daily and weekly, out to 36 months, updated as data syncs, built to answer whether you can cover payroll in November.

Syft turns accounting data into report packs and statement forecasts.

LONGER HORIZON

180 days is where the cash module stops

Cash Flow Frog keeps one rolling operational cash forecast from daily out to 36 months, without switching to a separate module.

Syft Cash Manager covers 1 to 180 days; past that you move to the statement forecast. Inside Xero, Syft powers Xero Analytics, which we compare in Cash Flow Frog vs Xero Analytics.

DRILL-DOWN FORECAST

Break the forecast apart

Open any figure three levels deep to the invoice or bill, break the forecast down by vendor and customer, and track it against actuals.

Syft keeps this depth in reporting, not inside the cash forecast.

MORE PLATFORMS

Runs on more than one accounting platform

Connect QuickBooks Online and Desktop, Xero, Sage Intacct, Zoho Books, FreshBooks, or Odoo, or use bank feeds and standalone entry.

Syft connects to Xero, QuickBooks Online, FreeAgent, Sage, MYOB.

FOR ACCOUNTANTS & BOOKKEEPERS

A forecasting layer for every client

Built for practices that run cash flow for many clients.

One dashboard, every client

Depth for advisory conversations

Flat pricing, not per entity

Syft is priced per entity, which adds up across a client base. Cash Flow Frog uses flat published plans.

FROM SYFT USERS WHO ADDED CASH FLOW FROG

What changed for them

Sourced from G2, Capterra, and Trustpilot.

“Syft is great for our reporting, but we needed a clearer view of what cash would actually look like week to week. Cash Flow Frog gave us that without changing the way we already work.”

Melissa T. · Finance Manager, Professional Services · G2

“We kept Syft for management reporting and added Cash Flow Frog for forecasting. Being able to look months ahead, drill into individual transactions, and compare the forecast with actual cash has made planning much easier.”

Aaron P. · Fractional CFO · Capterra

“The 36-month cash view was the missing piece for us. We can see problems much earlier now instead of finding them in the next reporting cycle.”

Claire D. · Operations Director · Trustpilot
