Why choose HelloBooks
Six concrete reasons businesses pick HelloBooks over QuickBooks, Xero, Zoho Books, and Tally — pulled from real differentiators on the platform today, not roadmap promises.
AI that learns your books
The AI Accounting Agent auto-categorizes transactions with 95%+ accuracy, reconciles bank feeds, and suggests journal entries. It is AI-first, not bolted on after the fact like QuickBooks or Tally.
Real GST e-invoicing, AU BAS & UK MTD compliance
India GST e-invoicing — IRN (Invoice Reference Number) and QR codes generated through our Fynamics GSP integration. Australia BAS (Business Activity Statement) quarterly returns and UK HMRC Making Tax Digital (MTD) are supported natively — no third-party connectors or plugins.
Built-in payroll via HelloTime
HelloTime, our sibling product in the Meru Fin Tech suite, handles attendance, leave, and payroll, and posts payroll journals straight into HelloBooks so books and pay stay in sync.
Unlimited users, multi-currency on every plan
Every paid plan includes unlimited users and full multi-currency with live exchange rates. QuickBooks caps users by tier and locks multi-currency behind Plus ($115/mo+); HelloBooks does not.
11,000+ U.S. banks via Plaid with AI matching
Connect any of 11,000+ U.S. banks and credit unions through Plaid for read-only, real-time transaction feeds, then let the AI engine auto-match each line against invoices and bills.
Free Plan with all 154 features, Pro at $9.99/mo
The Free Plan ships every one of the 154 accounting features with up to 3 users and 500 AI credits per month — no credit card. Pro is a flat $9.99/month with unlimited users and no per-user fees.
