What it really costs
Real-cost reality
Lite is $23 a month but caps you at five billable clients, so most service businesses need Plus at $43 for up to fifty. Each extra team member adds $11 a month, and card payments cost 2.9 percent plus 30 cents (ACH is 1 percent, capped at $15). A two-person shop realistically runs about $54 a month before processing.
Watch out for
- Lite caps you at five billable clients; a handful of regular accounts forces the $43 Plus plan
- Every extra team member is $11 a month on any plan
- Card processing is 2.9 percent plus 30 cents; ACH is 1 percent capped at $15
- No native QuickBooks sync, only a Zapier bridge
- Prices rose in 2026 (Lite $21 to $23, Plus $38 to $43, Premium $65 to $70)
