Is Bill.com the Best Choice For You?

Have you been reluctant to implement Bill.com's financial software package due to concerns about the sensitive nature of the data you supply and the level of security in which it will be maintained? According to Fiserv, a financial services provider that handles 6 million merchants globally managing 1.4 billion global accounts on file that produces 12K financial transactions per second, and manages over 10K financial institution clients, 89% of new customers surveyed cited security breaches as their number one issue preventing them from using their services.

Let's look at Bill.com and then show you a fast, easy, and successful way to set up solutions from DoNotPay.

What is Bill.com

Bill.com is a cloud-based financial services provider for more than 170 small to medium-sized businesses across the globe. According to a May 6, 2022 review of Bill.com on Merchant Maverick, Bill.com received the following ratings on a 5-star scale.

One rather odd feature of Bill.com is when you sign-up you have to select an accounts payable or accounts receivable software package.

With accounts payable you get;

• Ability to pay bills
• Ability to set up automatic or recurring payments
• Vendor management/credits
• Send bills for authorization

With accounts receivable you get;

• Ability to send invoices
• Ability to set up recurring invoices
• Receive online payments
• Manage items/credit memos

Bill.com's pricing structure is set up (which we will see below) with the only way to get accounts payable and receivable together is with their top-tier pricing plans. Many clients felt this to be one of the cons of the Pros and Cons comparison.

How Much Does Bill.com Charge for Their Services?

Bill.com will allow you to run a 14-day trial for free without having to provide any credit card information. This will give the prospective client just enough time to distribute the financial services Bill.com offers for free and then put that same client in need of paying for the service to collect money coming in. Any company that operates a significant AR and AP financial platform needs at least a 30-day trial to cover every aspect of money coming in and payments going out. Have you ever seen a customer or vendor operate on a 14-day basis?

Here is the breakdown of the pricing tiers for Bill.com;

And here is the breakdown of any associated costs and fees;

Bill.com's fees can add up quickly if your company sends out a lot of payments through this service.

What Does Bill.com Do for Data Security

Bill.com does a very basic form of data encryption and firewall protection. That being said they are PCI DSS compliant using redundant servers storing and backing up data in two secure facilities.

Here are the security features;

• Security for Financial Institutions Compliant
• Dual factor authentication
• TLS (Transport Layer Security)
• Physical Security Measures

How is Bill.com's Customer Service?

If you are having issues with Bill.com's service and need to speak with someone, good luck! There is no phone number or support available from Bill.com the only support being live chat which is only staffed during regular business hours Monday through Friday. In this Merchant Maverick review, Bill.com received a poor rating for customer service.

Here are the customer service features;

Negative Issues from Bill.com

1. Does not sync well with other services
2. Poor customer service
3. Expensive

Positive Issues from Bill.com

1. Saves time
2. Easy to use
3. Paperless

Now, with all of the above information you can see that if you are a small start-up or a sole proprietor, Bill.com is far more time-consuming and confusing than it is beneficial. If your business is a one-man operation and all you want to do is set up your outgoing payments with an automatic payment solution provider Bill.com is not what you need.

The good news is you can do exactly that and more with DoNotPay.

One thing that will benefit your start-up is the ability to negotiate payments when every penny is precious. Let's show you how to do just that without the need of subscribing to a large financial service provider.
