Free Plan with unlimited invoices, bills & quotes — no credit card.

What the Free Plan includes

The rule behind the plan is simple: meter the AI, never the ledger. You can keep a real business’s books here permanently.

  • Unlimited invoices, bills and quotes
  • GST/HST and QST on your invoices and bills
  • Unlimited email payment reminders
  • 1 live bank feed where your bank is supported, or statement upload
  • 2 users, so you and your accountant can both work in the books
  • 200 AI-categorised transactions per year
  • 10 WhatsApp sends (a one-time allowance)
  • AP/AR aging, P&L, balance sheet and cash flow reports
  • Full mobile app for iOS and Android

The limits, stated plainly

Free includes 1 live bank feed, 2 users, 200 AI-categorised transactions a year and 10 one-time WhatsApp sends. Invoices sent from Free carry a small “Powered by HelloBooks” badge.

When the AI allowance runs out, AI categorisation pauses and the books carry on manually. Top up AI credits any time with a credit pack, or upgrade. You are never locked out of your own accounts.

When to upgrade

Upgrade when you need more bank feeds, more users, or more AI. Pro is C$22.99/month (or C$229/year) with unlimited users, unlimited bank connections and multi-currency. Your ledger and history carry over unchanged.
