Strengths
- QuickBooks Online has a Free plan at $0/mo, with no credit card required. (source)
- Simple Start includes access for 2 accountants. The pricing page says no annual contract, and you can cancel any time. (source)
Limitations
- The Free plan is 1 user and up to 2 invoices a month, unless you enable QuickBooks Payments. It has no accountant access, and the mobile app and third-party integrations are not included. (source)
- Simple Start lists at $38/mo. The $19/mo price is 50% off for the first 3 months for new customers on the monthly plan. After that, the charge is the then-current monthly price. (source) (source)
- A 30-day free trial covers the monthly base price for new subscriptions. It is not the Free plan, and a free trial does not get the 50% discount. (source) (source)
