📝 Our Take on QuickBooks Online Pricing
QuickBooks is the 800-pound gorilla of small business accounting. Every CPA knows it, every bank integrates with it, and its reporting is the most comprehensive available. The downside is cost: starting at $30/mo and going up frequently. For freelancers, it's overkill — but for businesses with an accountant, it's the standard.
At $30/mo for Simple Start, QuickBooks is 4x more expensive than FreshBooks and infinitely more than Wave. The value is in the ecosystem: your accountant probably uses it, banks integrate seamlessly, and the reporting is unmatched. Always look for the 75% off first 3 months promotion.
