Native quotes and invoices in monday.com vs third-party accounting apps (Xero/QuickBooks)

Hey,

We're already running our pipeline in monday CRM and I'm trying to figure out the best setup for invoicing, could use some input from people who've actually used both options.

I know monday CRM has native Quotes & Invoices, meanwhile there are also a bunch of invoicing apps in the marketplace that integrate with Xero and QuickBooks.

A few things I'm unclear on:

What can the third-party accounting apps do that the native monday invoicing can't? Is it mostly about syncing with your accounting software, or are there bigger feature gaps?

Do any of these apps actually integrate with the native quotes and invoices feature, or do they completely replace it? Like, could I create the invoice natively in monday and then push it out to the accounting software, or is it one or the other?

Would love to hear how others have set this up. Thanks!
