Real AI, not a chatbot

Xero's "Just Ask Xero" is a search-style chatbot that points you to help articles. Odi is a full AI team member: it creates invoices, reconciles transactions, explains your VAT position and flags anomalies before you even ask. The difference is between a search bar and a colleague.

No invoice limits, no feature gates

Xero's Starter plan caps you at 20 invoices per month and locks key features behind the £42/mo Established tier. Odiverse gives you unlimited invoicing, payroll, bank feeds and AI on every plan, starting at £49/mo with nothing held back.

Payroll built in, not bolted on

Xero dropped its own payroll product in the UK and now requires a Gusto add-on at extra cost. Odiverse includes full PAYE payroll with RTI submissions, payslips and auto-enrolment support in every plan. One platform, one login, one price.

Frequently asked questions

Can I migrate from Xero to Odiverse?

Yes. We import your chart of accounts, contacts, invoices, bank transactions and historical data directly from Xero. Our migration tool connects to the Xero API, so there's no manual CSV export needed. Most migrations complete within a few hours.

I use Xero with add-ons for payroll and expenses. Does Odiverse replace those?

Yes. Odiverse includes PAYE payroll, OCR receipt scanning and expense management natively: no third-party add-ons required. You get one platform instead of a patchwork of subscriptions, which also means one audit trail and one source of truth.

Is Odiverse MTD-compatible like Xero?

Yes. Odiverse is fully MTD-compatible for VAT and ready for MTD for Income Tax. We submit directly to HMRC, just like Xero does, but with the added advantage of Odi helping you review your return before submission and flagging potential errors.
