If you're a US window treatments business looking at software, MyBlindCo and Xobuya will both come up. This page is an honest, side-by-side comparison so you can decide what fits your business, not what we'd like to sell you.
We've kept this factual. Where MyBlindCo does something better, we say so.
The short version
MyBlindCo is a US-based all-in-one platform purpose-built for window treatment professionals, covering in-home quoting, scheduling, CRM, e-invoicing, e-signature, payment processing (via their own MyBlindCo Pay), supplier purchase orders, install scheduling, repair tickets, and built-in marketing and review generation. They also offer a separate MyBlindCo Enterprise tier for manufacturers with pick tickets, cut sheets, and labels. Setup time is unusually fast for the category: roughly one working day for blinds and shades, two to three for shutters.
Xobuya is an Australian-built platform with a conversational AI quote builder, native apps across every device, offline-first mobile workflows, and a modern technology stack. It supports both AU and US markets, with multiple payment gateways and direct accounting integrations.
If you want a US-based vendor with integrated payment processing, built-in marketing and review-generation tools, and an unusually fast setup time, MyBlindCo is worth a serious look.
If you want AI-assisted conversational quoting, native apps on every device (including macOS and Windows desktop), and a vendor that supports both AU and US markets natively, Xobuya is likely a better fit.

When MyBlindCo is the better choice
There are real scenarios where MyBlindCo is the right call:
You want a US-based vendor with built-in US payment processing. MyBlindCo Pay is their own payment processing product, integrated tightly with the platform and card reader compatible. If you want a single vendor for both your software and your payments, with US-card-network specifics handled, that's a real convenience advantage. Reviews specifically call out getting paid two days quicker than traditional methods.
You want marketing and review-generation tools built in. MyBlindCo includes marketing automation and review generation as part of the platform. If you're spending time chasing reviews and running marketing campaigns separately, that built-in tooling is a real labour saver. Xobuya is more focused on the core quote-to-cash workflow and doesn't include comparable marketing tools.
You want the fastest possible setup. MyBlindCo claims setup in one working day for blinds and shades, two to three days for shutters. That's unusually fast for vertical SaaS. If you need to be running on the new platform within a week of signing, that pace matters.
You sell exclusively in the US. If you don't operate in Australia or any other market, the AU-and-US support Xobuya offers isn't a benefit to you, and MyBlindCo's US focus may translate to a vendor with deeper US-specific knowledge.
You're a manufacturer needing pick tickets, cut sheets, and labels. MyBlindCo Enterprise is purpose-built for the manufacturing side and integrates directly with the in-home quoting side. If you run both retail and manufacturing arms, that integration is genuinely useful.
You're already on MyBlindCo and it's working. Software switching is real effort and risk.
When Xobuya is the better choice
Where we think Xobuya genuinely wins:
You want AI that builds the quote itself. Xobuya's AI Quote Builder lets a rep describe a job in plain English ("three roller blinds in the lounge, two metres wide, blockout in charcoal, plus a roman in the bedroom") and watch the quote build itself. MyBlindCo's quoting is fast and well-designed, but it's a structured form-fill flow, not a conversational AI. We've measured Xobuya's approach saving 70 to 80 percent of quote build time on made-to-measure jobs.
You want native desktop apps as well as mobile. MyBlindCo is strong on mobile and web. Xobuya adds native macOS and Windows desktop apps with the same data and UI. Owners, office staff, and schedulers get a real desktop app, not a browser tab.
You want voice dictation in the field. A rep can dictate measurements and notes directly into the quote rather than tap them in.
You sell into both US and Australia, or you operate in AU. Xobuya supports both markets natively with imperial/metric switching, multi-currency, and local accounting (Xero, MYOB) and payment integrations (BPoint, Stripe, Square, Authorize.net). MyBlindCo is US-only.
You want multiple payment gateway options. MyBlindCo Pay is integrated and convenient. Xobuya offers Stripe, Square, BPoint, and Authorize.net, so you can pick the gateway that fits your business or negotiate rates separately from your software vendor.
You want direct accounting integrations beyond QuickBooks. Xobuya integrates directly with Xero, QuickBooks, and MYOB. MyBlindCo's accounting story is QuickBooks-centric.
You want a modern stack and frequent updates. Xobuya is built on a modern, cloud-native stack and receives updates regularly across all platforms simultaneously, shaped by the businesses that use it.
