Which plan to pickA single business should weigh US$129 a month against the AI matching already built into Xero or QuickBooks. Bookkeeping firms should ask for the firm pricing, which is set per firm and adds multi-client management.Start is enough if your team mainly vouches and ticks figures. Accelerate is where the AI agents come in, which is what most teams buying now want. Ask about seat minimums before you commit.Pricing is by quote. Decide up front whether you want AI scoring or only recorded interviews for humans to review, since that changes both the price and your legal obligations.
