Connect Zero vs Flexpoint, feature-by-feature
Comparison reflects publicly available product documentation at the time of writing. Flexpoint may have changed since. If we have got something wrong on this page, email hello@connectzero.com.au and we will correct it.
Where Flexpoint might suit you better
We are not pretending to be the right product for every MSP. If you are running a stack we do not support, or you need a feature we do not have, Flexpoint (or another option) may suit you better.
You are not on ConnectWise Manage
If your PSA is Autotask, Halo or another, this product is not for you. Flexpoint or one of its peers may have a connector that fits your stack.
You are on a global stack, not AU-specific
If you are an enterprise MSP running multi-region operations with non-AU tax handling as the primary requirement, Flexpoint may have broader regional coverage. Our AU-focused build is a feature, not a bug, for AU MSPs.
You need a feature we do not have
Some niche needs (e.g. bespoke accounting workflows, integrations with non-Xero engines) are outside our scope. Ask us first; if we cannot help, we will say so.
Why MSPs choose Connect Zero over FlexPoint
FlexPoint is a broader accounts-receivable and payments platform. Connect Zero is the focused ConnectWise Manage to Xero sync. Here is the direct case for Connect Zero, anchored to concrete capabilities, when the sync itself is the problem you are solving.
Near real-time record sync
Invoices, procurements, payments and credits sync from ConnectWise Manage to Xero on a default six-hour cycle, configurable to hourly, with force-sync on any individual record from the dashboard. The sync is the product, not a feature bolted onto a payments suite.
Location and department mapping built in
Connect Zero maps ConnectWise locations and departments to the right Xero organisation and tracking categories in the base product. Multi-entity MSPs route each location to its own Xero org without an upgrade tier.
Transparent pricing, no lock-in
Connect Zero offers transparent per-deployment pricing with no per-seat fee and no lock-in, so the finance team can budget it without working through a payments-platform pricing model. Contact us for ConnectWise to Xero pricing.
No lock-in
Cancel by uninstalling. No minimum term and no written notice. If Connect Zero stops earning its place, you remove it the same day.
Australian support, named humans
Support comes from the Adelaide team in Australian business hours, with no offshore level-two handoff. The same people who build the product answer the tickets.
Focused, not a platform to adopt
Connect Zero does ConnectWise Manage to Xero and only that. If you want a full collections, payments and AR-automation platform, FlexPoint is the broader answer. If you want the sync to be reliable and out of your way, that is the whole of Connect Zero.
Connect Zero vs FlexPoint: common questions
Is Connect Zero better than FlexPoint for MSPs?
It depends on the problem. If the problem is keeping ConnectWise Manage invoices and payments in sync with Xero, Connect Zero is the stronger fit: near real-time sync with force-sync on demand, location and department mapping in the base product, transparent pricing with no per-seat fee, and cancel-by-uninstall with no lock-in. FlexPoint is the better answer if you want a broader accounts-receivable, collections and payments platform and the ConnectWise to Xero sync is one part of a larger AR project.
How much does Connect Zero cost compared with FlexPoint?
Connect Zero offers transparent per-deployment pricing with no per-seat fee. Contact us for ConnectWise to Xero pricing. FlexPoint is a broader platform priced on its AR and payments scope, so a like-for-like number depends on which modules you adopt.
Does Connect Zero handle location and department mapping?
Yes. Connect Zero maps ConnectWise locations and departments to Xero organisations and tracking categories as a standard feature, with multi-Xero-organisation routing included rather than gated behind a higher tier. A multi-entity MSP can send each location to the correct Xero org from the base product.
How fast does Connect Zero sync ConnectWise invoices to Xero?
Connect Zero syncs on a default six-hour cycle that is configurable down to hourly, and you can force-sync any individual record from the dashboard the moment you need it. A sync failure raises an exception alert email inside the next cycle rather than waiting for a daily digest.
Can I use Connect Zero alongside FlexPoint?
Yes. Some MSPs run Connect Zero for the ConnectWise to Xero sync and keep FlexPoint for collections and payments. Connect Zero handles the record sync into Xero and does not require you to move your payments stack.
Is there a free trial?
Yes. The 30-day trial runs without a credit card, with enough time to sync a representative batch of ConnectWise invoices into a Xero entity and reconcile the result before you commit.
