Snad
What Snad does
- Plans that differ in limits, not in which apps exist
- Starter is free for one user and three apps; Basic is SAR 149 a month for three users and five apps; Pro is SAR 399 for five users and all nine apps. Each extra user is SAR 20 a month on Basic and Pro.
- E-invoicing from the first paid plan
- Fatoora linkage is available on Basic and Pro for Saudi organisations. You activate it once with the one-time code from the Authority's portal; Snad then signs every invoice and credit note as XML, sends it to the platform and prints the invoice with a QR code.
- Payroll from attendance to the journal
- Attendance and leave: annual, sick, unpaid, maternity, paternity and Hajj. A payroll run computes lateness, early leave, absence, unpaid leave and overtime, then posts its entry automatically: salary expense against salaries payable.
