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. 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.Price depends on invoice volume and the modules you add. Start with invoice processing and approvals, and add payments or cards only once the core is working.
