Comparison
Us-versus-them table with a fair summary.
A comparison that only flatters one column is not read as information. This one concedes where the competitor is stronger, which is what makes the rest credible.

The layout as it renders, in a frame at its own width. Resize the window to watch it respond — the frame is a real viewport.
How to build it
This is the layout's template, read from disk — the same file the frame
above renders, so it cannot drift out of date. Copy it into your own page
and replace the content; every class in it ships in
mcgowan.css.

<h1>Ledgerline compared</h1>
<p>Written by us, so read it accordingly — but the table concedes where the others
are stronger, because a comparison that only flatters one column is not read as
information.</p>

<p>You want reconciliation to be quick and the audit trail to be real. Our

<h2>Choose Ballpark if</h2>
<p>You need payroll and multi-currency in the same tool. We do not do either,
and bolting them on badly would be worse than saying so.</p>
