US pricing — frequently asked

Yes. The Free Plan is genuinely free — no credit card to sign up, no 30-day trial expiry, no surprise downgrades. You get the full chart of accounts, invoicing, bills, bank feeds, financial reports, AI categorization (free AI credits to get started), and up to 2 users. Most US sole proprietors and single-LLC freelancers run their whole books on the Free Plan and never upgrade.

Important pricing details and product information

The Free Plan is a plan, not a trial: no credit card, no time limit. It includes free AI credits to get started, 2 users, 1 live bank feed and invoices, bills and quotes within 200 transactions/year. When the AI credits run out, the automation pauses and your books carry on. Upgrade to get more AI credits; paid plans can also top up with a credit pack. You are never locked out.

OCR, auto-categorisation, bank matching, reconciliation and the AI chatbot all draw from one credit wallet. Free includes free AI credits to get started, a one-time allowance that does not refill; paid plans include a monthly allocation. On paid plans, credit packs are one-time top-ups that never expire while your account is active.

Monthly plans are billed each month. Annual plans are billed once a year at the annual price shown — about 2 months free compared with paying monthly.

Free, Starter, Pro, Business and Scale are available in this market. Scale includes custom development, quoted and agreed before any work starts when a request is specific to your business.

The Partner Program is free to join. Partners resell standard Pro and Business plans to their clients and earn a wholesale discount from 5% (Bronze) to 20% (Platinum) as their client book grows.
