The QuickBooks alternative
Full double-entry accounting. Unlimited users. Every feature from $13/month. QuickBooks power without the QuickBooks price — or the QuickBooks learning curve.
The same four reasons come up again and again from teams switching to Accoru.
QuickBooks Online jumps from $35 to $65 to $99/month just to unlock features small businesses actually need — like bill pay, inventory, and project tracking.
Simple Start is single-user. Essentials caps at 3. Plus caps at 5. Adding a bookkeeper or partner often forces a tier upgrade you didn't budget for.
QuickBooks pushes payroll, payments, capital, and add-ons inside your dashboard — turning your accounting tool into an ad surface.
QuickBooks was built for accountants. Most business owners need a YouTube tutorial just to send an invoice. Accoru works the way you'd expect it to.

QuickBooks Online pricing based on publicly available rates. Subject to change.
Accoru is built on a full general ledger with chart of accounts, journal entries, and trial balance — the same foundation as QuickBooks. We just made the interface human.
QuickBooks caps users at 1, 3, or 5 depending on plan. Accoru includes unlimited team members with role-based permissions at every plan level.
No payroll upsells. No 'capital' offers. No payment-processing pitches. Just your accounting — clean, calm, focused on the work.
Accoru is $13/month monthly or $10.40/month annual. Every feature included. No tier traps. No add-on fees. No surprises.
From QuickBooks Online, export your customers, vendors, chart of accounts, and transactions as CSV files. Takes about 10 minutes.
Use Accoru's built-in CSV importer to bring everything in cleanly — including your chart of accounts, contacts, and historical transactions.
Connect your bank, send your first invoice, and run a P&L. The full switch typically takes under 30 minutes end-to-end.

"QuickBooks was overkill. Half the buttons I never touched, and it kept trying to sell me payroll. Accoru is just the accounting tool I needed."
"We were paying $99/month for QuickBooks Plus and using maybe 30% of it. Moved to Accoru for $13. Same books, way less stress."
"Switching took an afternoon. The chart of accounts came in clean. My accountant approved on the first review."
Full double-entry accounting. Unlimited users. No upsells. One honest price — with a 14-day money-back guarantee QuickBooks doesn't offer.
