Precoro review (2026): features, pros and cons, and what to check before you buy
Purchase-order and AP automation tool for small and mid-size teams with published monthly prices.
Our take for buyers
Precoro is a procurement tool for small and mid-size teams that need requisitions, purchase orders, approvals and 2- and 3-way matching. It connects to QuickBooks Online, Xero, NetSuite, Sage Intacct, Dynamics 365 Business Central and BILL. Shortlist it if you want a defined price and fast setup rather than a large enterprise suite. It was founded in 2015 and is based in New York.
G2 reviewers rate it 4.7 out of 5 across 194 reviews and describe an intuitive interface, quick setup and responsive support. Complaints include a learning curve with many steps for some tasks, hard-to-use search when item names are similar, and reports and accounting integrations seen as limited in older reviews.

What to test in a Precoro demo or trial
Run a real purchase from requisition through approval, receipt and invoice match. Search a catalog with similar item names, since that is a known complaint. Test the accounting integration with your own ERP and check the reports your finance team needs. Decide up front whether you need intake, supplier portal or SSO, as these sit on Automation, and ask how many users your Core tier allows. Ask about the 2 to 8 week go-live timeline.
