Seven tools on the things that decide a purchase: which ledgers connect, how eliminations, currencies and minority interests work, forecasting, board packs, Schedule III, and what three companies cost. Where we couldn't confirm something, we say “not published” instead of guessing.

Prices in US dollars per month. Halfkit is $12.99 per company per month or $129.99 per year (₹999 or ₹9,999 through Razorpay). Reach prices data connections, which may not map one to one to companies. Float is a cash forecasting tool rather than a consolidation tool, so most consolidation rows don't apply to it.
