Questions
- How were these prices checked?
- Each price is the regular monthly list price shown to a US visitor on the vendor's own pricing page on 3 November 2026. Introductory discounts are quoted as offers, not used as the price.
- Which of these have a free plan?
- Two of the four have a limited free plan: QuickBooks Free and Zoho Books Free. Xero and FreshBooks offer trials instead. SuperBooks Free includes 1 bank connection and 5 invoices a month.
- Is SuperBooks available in the UK and Europe?
- You can sign up anywhere, but bank connections work with US and Canadian banks only for now, so the comparisons here are for US and Canadian businesses.
