Avankia DBSync vs Breadwinner for QuickBooks
People frequently ask us to compare these two solutions. Here's an honest look at how they differ across connections, data replication, and support.
Connections
DBSync and Breadwinner take fundamentally different approaches to integrating QuickBooks with Salesforce.
DBSync
- • Functions as an iPaaS / ETL-light solution
- • Connects multiple accounting systems to various CRMs and databases
- • More powerful than Zapier; more affordable than Boomi or Celigo
- • Can integrate with both QuickBooks Online and Desktop
Breadwinner for QuickBooks
- • Point-to-point solution with a dedicated native Salesforce app
- • Separate apps for each finance system (QuickBooks, Xero, NetSuite) — deeper integration as a result
- • Native Salesforce objects and fields, not raw data dumps
- • QuickBooks Online support (not Desktop)
Data Replication — Invoice Level
How each solution brings QuickBooks invoice data into Salesforce makes a big difference for day-to-day usability.
DBSync
DBSync displays high-level invoice information in a machine-readable format with raw QuickBooks data. While visually scannable, you'll need to sift through dense text to extract line items, addresses, and due dates.
Breadwinner
Breadwinner pulls comprehensive invoice data into native Salesforce objects and fields — payments, due dates, fully-paid dates, and custom fields are all available. You get PDF download buttons, email capabilities, individual line items as related lists, and automatically calculated fully-paid dates.
Data Replication — Company Level
How QuickBooks Companies map to Salesforce Accounts is where the differences become most apparent.
DBSync
No dedicated QuickBooks Company object replication. Limited to one-to-one connections between a QuickBooks Company and a Salesforce Account.
Breadwinner
- • Replicates all QuickBooks Companies as independent Salesforce records
- • Supports multiple QB Companies, Sub-Companies, and Jobs linked to a single Salesforce Account
- • Hourly sync picks up new companies created in QuickBooks
- • Edit records directly in QuickBooks from Salesforce — no separate login
- • Reparenting functionality to change the associated Salesforce Account
Salesforce Account-Level Information
Breadwinner provides pre-built account-level financial information at no extra cost across all versions. Financial data is integrated directly into standard Salesforce Account records — no consultant-built custom rollups or charts needed.
