When Motasoft's pricing makes sense
If your garage needs a solid, affordable system and budget is the primary concern, Motasoft Essential at £65 is hard to beat. If Haynes technical data is essential to your workflow, Motasoft Plus at £95 offers that at half the price of Garegi. And if MTD compliance matters and you want it in one system rather than via a separate Xero/Sage subscription, Motasoft has that.
