CheqMate Online vs ChequeMaster

CheqMate Online manages cheque transactions and prints Sri Lankan cheques on a normal printer. The maker says it supports cheques from any bank in Sri Lanka, with single or batch printing and options to include a company seal and logo. It also prints payment vouchers, supports account reconciliation, and lets users manage unlimited bank accounts and view reports by payee or date range. Cheque data can be imported from standard CSV files produced by Excel or other accounting software. Standard and Business are online cloud packages, accessible on Windows, Apple, and Linux through Google Chrome, as well as from a phone or computer. Both include a 30-day free trial. Business includes automated cloud backups and costs 0.47 LKR a year; Standard costs 0.55 LKR a month and renews monthly. The maker says the app is password protected and uses SSL encryption. PREZIRE SOFTWARE SOLUTIONS lists email and phone support Monday through Friday, 9 a.m. to 5 p.m. An unrenewed Standard account is deleted 30 days after its monthly due date.

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.
