Checkrun vs Cheqaat

Checkrun is a cloud payment platform for businesses and accounting firms that need to manage bills from approval through payment. It supports vendor payments by paper check or ACH bank transfer, with remittance advice for electronic payments. Payment data syncs with QuickBooks Online in both directions in real time; payment activity and check images can also be attached to QuickBooks payments. Teams can set approval workflows, roles, and permissions, with approvals and check signing available in the mobile app. Checks can be printed on existing, preprinted, or blank stock, or sent through Print and Mail. The system generates Positive Pay files for more than 200 bank formats. Available on Android, iOS, and web, Checkrun offers customizable checks with logos, watermarks, and a QR code for authenticity checks. The Business subscription is $50 a month, billed monthly, plus a $199 one-time implementation fee. Local check printing and ACH file export cost $0.35 per payment; Print and Mail costs $1.95 per check. A 15-day trial excludes full-layout checks and Print and Mail.

Cheqaat is Windows desktop software for managing, printing, and exporting professional cheques. Bank templates help align printed cheques, and bulk tools support batch printing, including post-dated cheques for recurring payments. Cheques are logged and searchable, with records exportable as PDFs. For Qatar users, the software supports Arabic and English fields and has an interface in both languages. The Qatar page lists nine bundled local bank templates, and users can create reusable custom formats. The maker says account details and cheque history are encrypted locally and never uploaded to a server. After download, Cheqaat works offline and requires Windows 10 or 11 (64-bit), with about 133 MB of disk space. A 30-day free trial requires no credit card. The Pro plan costs $99 a year, billed once a year with no auto-renewal. Enterprise offers custom pricing, with customized integrations and application development among its listed services. The maker identifies SMBs, corporates, accountants, and finance teams in Qatar as intended users.
