Most other companies have billing "included" and a much higher price. I don't need billing software, so it would have been a waste to pay more money per month for a feature I'm not using. ----- ### "Helpful for every and any business" — 4.0/5 > **Rosa** | *April 4, 2017* | Retail | Recommendation rating: 8.0/10 > > **Pros**: information easy to read. organized well. aids in decision making. comparison tool. > > **Cons**: some reviews are lacking > > I was able to find everything I needed. Capterra saved me countless hours and present their pages clean and easily read. If i had to research the vendors it would have taken me weeks. Instead now I am ahead of my deliverable goal and was able to make an educated decision. I would highly recommend ----- Page: 1 / 3\ Next: [Next page](https://www.getapp.ca/software/116023/open-black-belt?page=2) ## Links - [View on GetApp](https://www.getapp.ca/software/116023/open-black-belt) ## This page is available in the following languages | Locale | URL | | de | | | de-AT | | | en | | | en-AE | | | en-AU | | | en-CA | | | en-GB | | | en-IE | | | en-NZ | | | en-SG | | | en-ZA | | | es | | | es-CL | | | es-CO | | | es-MX | | | fr | | | fr-BE | | | fr-CA | | ----- ## Structured Data
