What changes the decision

A free subscription does not make payment processing, receipt add-ons or all collaborator roles free. Bank compatibility and invoice-delivery conditions still matter.

Starter

USD 0 subscription

Manual bookkeeping; automatic bank import is a Pro feature. Processing/receipt add-ons extra.

Automatic bank feedNot included

Multi-currency accountingNot verified

Project profitabilityNot verified

Financial report exportNot verified

Automatic feed requires a supported bank. Multi-currency means accounting for foreign-currency transactions or accounts, not merely displaying a currency symbol. Project profitability means documented project income/cost reporting, not just a time tracker. Report export can be HTML, PDF or spreadsheet; see the specific format below.

Test your own workflow before switching

Verify your specific bank and collaborator role. Download historical records and open invoices before cancelling another product; do not treat a bank-only import as a full accounting migration.

Preserve opening balances, open receivables and payables, tax balances, attachments and a dated trial balance. A CSV bank statement contains bank activity; it does not recreate invoices, inventory, account history or reconciliations. Confirm that the chosen account, role and edition support the needed import/export format.

Evidence and update policy

Prices refer to selected monthly list plans. Check the current checkout for taxes, add-ons, country eligibility and changed terms. Unknown features stay unverified; a filter match is not a recommendation that the software meets your tax or reporting obligations. Our sources are listed below so you can verify the exact edition.
