Great customer service, not sure why so many bad reviews as overall I've had a good experience. They are bringing out a load of new features soon.

Logs you out without warning whilst…

Logs you out without warning whilst working on invoices without saving your progress. Wasting time and causing frustration. I've previously complained about this and nothing has been done about it. I'm now moving to sage.

Arrogant cowboys

As others have said, Bullet did the classic bait-and-switch a while back - though still kept their "Free Forever" statement online for a quite some time after - leaving people who had signed up in good faith no option but to pay to access their basic data.

Sure, it's fair to charge something for a product, but how they went about this was awful, and is no better than ransomware. Their previous canned responses to this were very telling.

Another change to their pricing structure has recently been announced, unapologetically in the form of a tone-deaf e-mail from their co-founder with the patronising line of "Normally, all this software would cost €326/month per person. By using Bullet, you'll have €277 per employee in your pocket each month." which is so arrogant it's laughable.

The product is now going up to €49/month per person (the mail doesn't say when, but one would assume ASAP?) though as of today the .ie website still shows the pricing tiers of €27.99 and €14.99. Again, this is in-keeping with their misleading practices.

I would suggest avoiding this crowd at all costs. There are plenty of better options out there that are more accountant-friendly and Revenue compliant.

Hi Ed,

Thanks for leaving the note just to clarify a few things.

'A while ago', was 14yrs ago.

Ransome ware is a form of malware designed to encrypt files on a device, rendering any files and the systems that rely on them unusable. We haven't done that, that is illegal.

We've had one price increase and one decrease in our 14 years of business.

When we launched we were €24.99 per month, we then switched to a freemium model. Freemium models only work when you get the numbers, it is like a pyramid business model. We couldn't get the numbers in Ireland. Wave owned the free space and the market was just too saturated to punch a hole in it.

After 5 years of trying to get the numbers on freemium, we sent an email to everyone explaining that what and why we were increasing the price to €27.99/m. Everybody seemed happy, as we only churned a couple of users.

Soon after that, we launched a €14.99/m price point. We've had under 20 users sign-up for that plan. We feel that's cause there are enough free tools to coble an awkward poor value solution together, it attracts free not value customers.

Over the years we've noticed the SaaS tools that small businesses have to keep signing up for, but only use a portion of them. We also noticed all the great fintech products out there to help people get paid quicker, but they were complex to understand and hard to implement into a small business workflow. The final thing we noticed is small business owners have to stitch all this data together.

So 2 years ago we started acquiring products, rebuilding them and designing new ones. We applied for our Central Bank Licence to empower fintech in our products in a safe way.

About a year ago we emailed everyone to say we were becoming a regulated fintech company, then we emailed everyone again pre-Christmas '23 and now we're ready to launch we've emailed again in March '23. All standard launch stuff.

We don't see the new price as a price increase, 'an increase', is for the same product, we're delivering 8 new products with more to come in 2023-4 and only for €49/m. We're saving you €3,324 a year now.

One of the big changes we're bringing into the product is AI. I asked AI to write you a little poem. I hope it cheers you up Ed.

Ed Smith, dear, don't feel so blue,
Our pricing shift will see you through.
Our products are worth every dime,
And our service always is prime.

Let our love keep you strong and bright,
And know everything will be all right and anew.

Best software to aid my small business

I was advised by a fellow entrepreneur to use Bullet to generate my payroll & do all my expenses for my consulting business (which I've been used to doing myself for almost a year) and it has literally saved me hundreds of hours/month worth of time and effort!

It's really easy to use, way cheaper than an accountant and it's great to know that I'm compliant - so takes the worry out of doing taxes & finances. So glad that I've come across this company. Also, they are super friendly people to deal with!

So simple to manage accounts now with Bullet

I have been using Bullet for over 2 years now and have genuinely found it very user friendly and comprehensive.

I would admit I am numerically challenged and this app has made me feel confident in using it and my accountant understands what I am inputing! I have and will continue to recommend this to my friends and network.

Invoices are well-designed, look really good when sending to clients and the list of reports is extensive. We Love Bullet.

This software is a glorified excel…

This software is a glorified excel sheet. You pay 27 euros a month and it allows you to add and store your invoices and receipts.
When it comes to anything real, it's not reliable. I used their automatically produced vat return to upload to the tax authorities and found out later that the calculations they generated were completely wrong and when I confronted them about it, they said it had nothing to do with them. They said they couldn't take responsibility.

Hi John,

I'm a little confused as to why you're leaving this review. Everything was explained to you within minutes of you contacting support. We don't create the return you were looking for.

We create VAT3 returns, not VAT RTD returns. It's like 'confronting', a Car salesperson because they don't sell Aeroplanes.

We disengaged with you on support when you got abusive. We value our female support staff and their safety.

YOUR SITUATION
1) Bullet does a VAT 3 return (a domestic Irish return), you were looking for a VAT RTD return (a pan European return).
2) We never advertise doing the VAT RTD return.
3) We only advertise doing the VAT 3 return.
4) This was explained to you, but you didn't seem to understand that you were looking for a return we didn't do, there are hundreds of tax returns we don't do.
5) We offered you a full refund.
6) You continued to ask for the VAT RTD return, and we kept explaining we don't do the VAT RTD return.

WRONG VAT3 Data
Bullet is 14 years old and we've created automated VAT3 returns for all those years. Our returns system doesn't create a physical return but a digital one that is uploaded directly into the Irish Tax Office, ROS. In 14 years we have never created an incorrect VAT return. Nor have we ever received a query from the Irish Tax office.
Your statement is false.

GLORIFIED EXCEL
There are over 2 million lines of code in our system. We are a full double entry accounting and payroll product, with full foreign exchange built in.
Your statement is false.

I hope you find a good solution and have a happy day.

Thank Bullet

Excellent Software

Excellent Software: My accountant suggested I needed to move from excel to a packaged solution. I found Bullet and have been using it for the past year plus - does everything I need and is easy to use. My accountant has been recommending it to others.

Exceptionally poor company

Exceptionally poor company. Have had multiple issues with data lost (due to their site malfunction) and not restored correctly. Customer service is non existent, on the rare occasion they do respond it is rude and generally unhelpful.

Gamechanger for me

I was introduced to Bullet software two years ago and I can honestly say that it has been a complete gamechanger in terms of how I feel about invoicing. It has allowed me to store a range of invoice templates relating to different services I provide which makes it super quick and easy to create an invoice. Once I've easily customized an invoice, Bullet emails the invoice directly to the client whilst copying me in. It also alerts me when my client has read the invoice. I'm pretty sure it can do other brilliant things as well such as record my inbound invoices.....need to take the time to explore all the ways it can help me.

Free and simple

Very simple in usage and it's free for everybody except Ireland as I saw pricing on their bullethq.ie site. I'm lucky as my business is in UK:)

Liked it because nothing to complain about: everything simple and automated, support is great. The only thing is that UI sometimes could be better but I saw in their latest email that they are working on improving it at the moment.

Good job guys

The software is great for a small biz like mine. You can manage accounts on your own as that's all automated. Saves a looot of time, especially bank rec. There support is also very quick.

There is a monthly fee for Irish users but it looks ok for me because I was spending much more on my accountant before.

Professional scammers

Professional scammers. They say that its completely free but they gradually charge more and more, and when you try to complain about it, your only way to do it is having to endure the condescending and unprofessional ways of its CEO, one of the Co-founders... AVOID

Scam

Signed up as it was “free forever” but gradually they charged more and more for less features before finally restricting access to even historical records for a substantial monthly fee. When I queried why I wasn’t notified in advance of these drastic changes, the customer support tried telling me it was actually free because it was tax deductible!! I’ve read others say they were told the same.

I feel like I’ve been scammed and on principle will not pay them a penny more. Avoid at all costs!

Hi,

My name is Mariana I’m from Bullet. I see you’ve written a negative review about Bullet, from reading it I can see why you’d be annoyed.

Let me explain what’s happened. Bullet has two products an international product under the domain Bullethq.COM and an Irish product under Bullethq.IE

The international product is a stripped-down version of the Irish product, there is no payroll, tax automation, or live support so we just keep it freemium for lead generation.

The Irish product is a full-blown account and payroll product with tax automation and live support. To provide live support and keep 3 million lines of code secure and up to date, we have to charge a small fee, starting at €14.99/m.
We have this clearly defined and stated on both our marketing sites. We also have built technology that captures your location and routes you to the correct marketing site. The issue I believe that caught you was browsers work pretty hard to hide people's locations so sometimes our technology doesn’t pick location up, it’s also not an exact science we should have made it easier to notice.

Although we work pretty hard to route people to the correct site and have always been transparent. We’d like to apologise for this failure on our behalf, if you wish to keep the review up that’s no problem if you don’t that would be great.

Thanks for taking the time to read this and trying out Bullet.

Bait & Switch

I am not opposed to paying for such a service, but you can't advertise as "Free Forever" then once you have taken the time to load all of your accounts and data in, they start to charge you, knowing that it would be a headache for you to start again with another service. Classic bait and switch! Very poor form.

Do it yourself

When they started charging for their software I didn't mind as I had been using if for free for about 2 years. But the service seemed to go downhill once they started charging.

They started charging me for two other 'Apps' I had never signed up for. It took a lot of back and forth with them to get a refund for one of the apps and I am still chasing for the other refund. I've cancelled my subscription as I expect more from a service I'm paying for - tax deductible or not.

I wouldn't recommend Bullet to anyone. It doesn't do anything that you couldn't do yourself if you have a small limited company. Site isn't easy to navigate. The online help chat is good but they NEVER responded to emails sent into their help. Invoices can't be sent as an attachment - the receiver has to click a link which opens the invoice in a PDF viewer.

Unprofessional to deal with... avoid!

It had a nice UX + free service in the beginning. However, after we migrated to a new platform on advice from our accountant, we discovered that the minor level of free access we once had (ability to view old invoices) was now gated behind a paywall, forcing even non active users to sign-up to their so called 'free forever service'. The support is nothing short of ignorant, condescending and unprofessional. I would be looking elsewhere.

Substandard

Awful design and blurry logo, complete mess on phone version, no dedicated iPhone app, misleading “attachments” of receipts (can only be linked to own storage, i.e. Dropbox), obscene pricing, locking user out if too many invoices issued (?), bugs, glitches, etc.

False Promises

Bit of a joke to make promises about being "100% free forever" and then charge people. Absolutely understandable wanting to cover costs and even to make a profit, but be upfront about it. This way is borderline scam.
