Checkrun vs ChequeMaster

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.

ChequeMaster is Windows desktop software for printing and managing bank cheques. Its layout creator can import a scanned cheque image and let you position cheque details by drag and drop. Printing supports English, Hindi, and Gujarati, multiple currencies, and laser, inkjet, deskjet, and all-in-one printers; additional languages can be requested. A dashboard tracks issued, upcoming, and past-due cheques with statuses such as cleared, cancelled, returned, missed, and stopped payment. Search covers cheque numbers, amounts, payees, cheque books, and layouts, while reports can be exported to Excel. The free plan is for personal, non-commercial use, never expires, and allows unlimited banks, accounts, layouts, and printed cheques, but excludes vouchers and reports and permits up to two payees and two cheque books. A lifetime license is offered with no listed price. Records remain on the computer; licensing and usage data goes to the maker’s servers. Windows 10 and newer are supported.
