About the accounting software category
The dated plans cover different accounting needs: invoice-led tools, general bookkeeping and inventory-capable tiers. Wave and Zoho Books list free options. QuickBooks and Zoho cap included users by plan; Xero lists unlimited users. Compare the ongoing subscription and required add-ons rather than a short introductory promotion.
How to choose: buying criteria for accounting software
Start with your accountant’s requirements, bank connections and the number of people who need access. Then check invoice and client limits, inventory, currencies and payroll arrangements. Xero Early lists 20 invoices and 5 bills; FreshBooks Lite lists 5 clients. Those limits matter only in relation to your workload. Confirm payment processing and payroll charges separately.
