Fisqel vs Wafeq
Wafeq is software. Fisqel is a conversation.
Both are made for this region. The difference is how the work gets done: Wafeq is an application you operate, while Fisqel is a complete bookkeeping system you run from WhatsApp, with a free plan to start.

Why owners choose Fisqel
Why UAE owners choose Fisqel over Wafeq.
A complete bookkeeping system, run from chat
With Wafeq you open software, find the screen and enter the data. With Fisqel you send a message or a photo, and the invoice, the expense, the journal entry and the VAT line are done for you.
Your team feeds the books
Staff send receipts from their own WhatsApp. You approve with a tap, and Fisqel keeps a real “due to employee” balance until each person is reimbursed.
Start free, stay free if you like
Fisqel has a free plan you can keep, plus 14 days of Business free with no card. Starter is AED 49 a month when you're ready.
No training, no backlog
Owners keep their books current because it takes ten seconds, from wherever they are. The dashboard and the mobile web app are there when you want the full picture.
