ChequeMaster vs TROY AssurePay Check

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.

TROY AssurePay Check is cloud-based check printing software for medium-to-large businesses. Users upload batches, review and approve them, print checks, and export Positive Pay files for their bank. It accepts .xml, .csv, .txt, and flat text imports, and supports one-off, sample, and blank checks. Listed uses include payroll, accounts payable, claim checks, EOBs, direct deposit slips, and wealth management. TROY says the software connects with existing ERP and CRM systems, without naming particular products. Security options include multi-factor authentication, single sign-on, IP restrictions, and role-based account restrictions. The service runs on Microsoft Azure, with regional hosting options in the U.S., Canada, Latin America, and elsewhere. Reports can show every check created in the software; Positive Pay is an add-on. Batches can be accessed and authorized through desktop, tablet, or mobile browsers, though printing requires a Windows-compatible device. Pricing is available on request. TROY says U.S.-based technical support is included with the license or subscription.
