Verdict
Rating: 3.5/5
Financio's aggressive pricing makes it attractive for micro businesses with simple, low-volume operations. The RM1/month promotional rate is genuinely remarkable for qualifying businesses. However, transaction limits and feature restrictions mean Financio is best suited for very small, stable businesses without growth ambitions.
Recommended for: Micro businesses with consistently low transaction volumes (under 20 invoices monthly), startups with extremely tight budgets, businesses without multi-currency or multi-location needs.
