• Skip it if you want a mobile app, as the Panama page lists none
• Not for you if you don't read Spanish, since site and plans are in Spanish
• Watch out: plans and prices differ by country, and these are Panama's with tax included

Pick Bukku if

• Pricey if you grow: the plan is set by turnover, up to RM135 and past
• Watch out: SST support and multiple currencies are RM12 a month each on Seed and Grow
• Watch out: prices exclude 8% SST, and no mobile app is listed
