Free bookkeeping apps and their cost: Best Bookkeeping App

Answer in brief

Reading and reports cost nothing in Conecto, and a new account starts with $1.00 of credit, enough for 100 bookings.

What is free

In Conecto, reports, reading the books and importing bank lines are free. Each booking or change costs $0.01, each bank line matched $0.02, and settings and closing $0.001.¹

Starting credit

A new account comes with $1.00 of credit, which covers 100 bookings or 50 matched bank lines. Top-ups start at $5.00 with a 7% + $0.35 fee passed on from Stripe, and the first top-up is doubled, up to $20.00 extra.²

A month, priced

A business with 80 bank lines and 25 receipts a month would pay about $1.85: 80 matches at $0.02 and 25 bookings at $0.01. At that pace a first $5.00 top-up, doubled to $10.00, lasts about five months. Your own month will differ.
