Free Plan · AI bookkeeping

Free AI bookkeeping software, stated honestly

HelloBooks Free is $0/mo with unlimited invoices, bills and quotes and no credit card. It also includes free AI credits to get started, and this page explains exactly what happens after they are used.

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

What the AI does on the Free Plan

Transactions from your live bank feed are read by the AI, which suggests a category from an IRS-aligned chart of accounts and matches deposits to open invoices. You can review and change any of it. Free includes free AI credits to get started for this work.

When the free AI credits run out

You choose one of two things, and neither locks you out:

  • Upgrade to a paid plan to get more AI credits; paid plans can also top up with a credit pack (Boost, Power, Mega or Ultra)
  • Keep going manually: categorize transactions yourself; invoices, bills, reports and the bank feed keep working

Why we meter the AI and not the ledger

Every AI action costs us money to run; keeping a ledger does not. So Free caps the AI and leaves invoices, bills, quotes and reports unlimited. Other free plans tend to do the reverse and cap invoices or leave out the bank feed.

Free includes 1 live bank feed, 2 users and free AI credits to get started. Data export, recurring invoices and multi-currency are on paid plans, and invoices sent from Free carry a small “Powered by HelloBooks” badge. Starter is $14.99/mo; Pro is $39.99/mo.
