| Which plan to pick | A 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. | Run the 7-day trial on contracts you actually negotiate, then ask for a quote. Get the per-seat price and any minimum term in writing, as third-party reports put prices anywhere from under US$200 to around US$350 per user a month. | 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. |
