QuickBooks vs Xero: which accounting software is better?

QuickBooks Online dominates the US market and has the largest accountant network, making it the safe default if you're working with a US-based bookkeeper or CPA. Xero is popular internationally and has a cleaner interface, unlimited users on all plans, and better multi-currency support. For US small businesses with a local accountant, QuickBooks is usually the path of least resistance. For global teams or UK/AUS businesses, Xero is often preferred.
