Pros and cons
ClearCRM
- Combines CRM, project management, support, invoicing, and social inbox in one platform.
- Transparent team-based pricing with no hidden module fees and generous annual discounts.
- Includes AI chat assistant and automation tools even in mid-tier plans.
- Per-user pricing can add up as team grows - Scale Team at $79/month for 50 users still costs more per user than flat-rate competitors.
- Enterprise-level customization (e.g. deep API, custom dashboards) only available in highest tier.
- Social CRM features are strong but may lack depth compared to specialized tools like Sprout Social.
Fiscly
- Completely free for consumers: no account required to ask tax questions or browse the accountant directory.
- Covers all eight Australian states and territories with TPB-registered firms filterable by specialty, including niche areas like SMSF, crypto tax, and medical professionals.
- Honest, prominent disclaimer on every AI answer that the information is general only, reducing the risk of users acting on unverified advice.
- The AI assistant runs on Miyai.ai, a generic third-party customer-support platform, not a purpose-built Australian tax reasoning engine, which means it cannot handle complex or entity-specific scenarios with any reliability.
- No ATO integration, no BAS lodgement, no payroll, and no bookkeeping: the tool does none of the actual compliance work that Australian small businesses need done.
- The paid accountant listing checkout was listed as 'opens soon' at the time of review, meaning firms cannot yet subscribe to Claimed or Boost tiers through the site.
Our verdict
ClearCRM verdict
Best for small teams that want a unified CRM with built-in social and project tools at a fair price. It lacks deep customization and may not scale for complex enterprise workflows. Larger organizations should consider more flexible platforms like Zoho CRM or HubSpot.

Fiscly suits Australians who want a fast, free first answer to a GST, BAS, or sole-trader tax question before deciding whether to hire a professional. The AI assistant is a general-purpose Q&A layer built on a third-party model (Miyai.ai), not a purpose-built tax engine, so it cannot lodge anything or connect to ATO systems the way dedicated compliance tools can. Anyone needing actual tax lodgement, bookkeeping software, or ongoing advisory should skip the AI side entirely and go straight to the accountant directory, or use a full accounting platform instead.
