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.Pricing is by quote. Start with the module that solves your biggest problem (usually talent acquisition), and ask for the bias audit results and how candidate scores are disclosed.There is one route in: book a demo and get a quote. Ask for a pilot with a small group on real matters, and get the per-seat price, minimum seats and renewal terms in writing before you commit.

  • Reporting is limited and match scores don't always rank the best people first
  • 2026 lawsuit over undisclosed applicant scores (Eightfold disputes it)
