Where should you start?

If price decides it: Puzzle, from $30 per month, is the cheapest flat plan of the 14 compared. If you are setting up your first books and are happy to check the work yourself, Puzzle's Starter plan is $30 a month with the AI suite included and a 14-day free trial. The catch: Starter comes with 25 lifetime AI credits, and a bookkeeper who closes your books each month comes through the optional accounting services. Digits offers a 30-day free trial, then Essentials at $65 a month.

For a small business: QuickBooks Online from Intuit, from $38 per month, is the cheapest flat plan among the 4 whose vendors name small business. Suits an owner who wants to start keeping books for free: the Free plan is $0 a month for one user, with no credit card. Simple Start is $38 a month, at 50% off for the first 3 months. The catch: the AI tools automate bookkeeping tasks, but no done-for-you bookkeeping is stated. If you'd rather have the work done for you, Pilot AI Accountant starts at $99 a month on Essentials.
