More than one business

Plenty of owners run two or three: the trade and the rental, the shop and the consulting. Most accounting software treats each one as a separate customer and charges you the full price again. Here they ride one login and one bill, and each keeps its own completely separate set of books.

Businesses on your planWhat you pay each monthWhat that works out to

The first business is $45 and each additional one is $25. Running more than three? Email us and we will sort it out.

What is included, and what is not

Included in the $45Everything on the feature list: invoicing, expenses and bills, sales tax, 1099s, inventory, time, jobs, budgets, fixed assets, loans, month-end close, the full report set, automatic bank feeds and statement reconciliation, the QuickBooks importer, the accountant pack, and all of Oikos AI. There is no higher tier to be upsold to.
Not included, because it does not exist yetFull-service payroll is not built, so you record or import runs. Automated sales-tax filing is prep only. Advanced inventory such as assemblies and FIFO or LIFO is not planned. We would rather you read that here than find it in month two.
Costs nothing extraYour accountant's seat. Your team members. Version history. Support from an actual person. Updates, including the ones that add features.
Handled by Stripe, not usIf you switch on online invoice payments, your customers pay through Stripe and the money settles to you. Stripe's own processing fee applies to those payments and is charged by Stripe, not added by us.

Questions about the money

Is there a free trial?

Yes. Every Cloud signup starts with 14 days free, and so does every accountant client seat. A card is collected when you start, by Stripe, and it is not charged during those 14 days. Cancel in billing settings before day 14 and you pay nothing at all. If you would rather look before giving anyone a card, you still can: the live demo is the real app with sample books and needs no account, and the desktop app is the complete product for free with no expiry.

Does Oikos AI cost extra?

No. It is in the $45. We considered selling it as an add-on and decided against it, because a bookkeeping app where the easy way to enter something costs extra is just a worse bookkeeping app.

What happens to my books if I stop paying?

They are yours. Export everything with one click at any time, including before you cancel, and the free desktop app will keep running your books afterwards at no cost. We do not hold your records hostage to a subscription, and you should not accept software that does.

Do I need a credit card to start the free trial?

Yes, for the Cloud trial. Starting your 14 days collects a card through Stripe rather than through us, so that your subscription simply continues if you decide to keep it. Nothing is charged while the 14 days run, and cancelling before they are up costs you nothing. The demo needs no account and the desktop app needs no card, ever.

Is my accountant an extra seat?

No. Invite your accountant or bookkeeper with view access or with permission to post adjustments, at no charge, and they do not need a subscription of their own.

Are there setup fees or migration charges?

No. The QuickBooks importer is in the product and you run it yourself. If you are bringing a large or messy book across and want help, we will do it with you, and we will tell you plainly if we think you should stay where you are.

Do prices change as you add features?

Features land continuously and are included as they land. If we ever change the price, existing subscribers hear it from us directly and in advance, not from a surprise line on a statement.
