Have any of you heard of it or used it?

nope - and having a look through their site - I can't work out why it's free - there must be an upsell somewhere?

I have never heard of it before but it looks really good. Perhaps to good. maybe worth a cautious test run.
One thing I did notice though is that they are advertising for power sellers and in return you will receive 10% commission. Commission on what? there services all seem free?
Maybe I have just missed something.

It is odd that it's free. Just signed up for a trial on the accounts package (as it's a potential competitor to www.kashFlow.co.uk ) and I don't see the catch just yet.
It's not overly easy to use but it's not as complicated as other systems I've seen.

There are various upsells including unlimited users, livehelp etc etc
It looks ok - to me but not as easy to pick up as Kashflow (IMHO)

my verdict after a few minutes use is that it's pants. The website keeps giving me errors and it's also overly complicated.
I'll keep an eye on them but I wont lose any sleep over it.

Of course I had to sign up and look around as well.
Cannot quite see the business proposition as the online accounting provides up to three(presumably concurrent?) users free.
presumably the additional revenue streams come from the e invoice and of course the support etc modules but as with everything offered free people would be very wary about putting their data onto it with the possibility that it could all disappear.
Have you done a company search on Winweb international limited.
It says it is a Vi company but the link doesnt seem to work.
Found a Vi group which is a software company based in Stroud T/O 19M but this doesnt seem to be in their stated area of expertise (cad/cam and other engineering applications)
Certainly the software is not as easy to run with immediately as Kashflow is.
