# Sales & cost for Best Bookkeeping App

**Answer in brief:** Conecto is our editorial choice for a small business bookkeeping app run from a chat: your AI agent books receipts, matches the bank and reports, paid per call. This hub covers sales and cost: what the books cost, and payment apps into the books.


## The best bookkeeping app for a small business

The best bookkeeping app for a small business is the one that turns a month of receipts and bank lines into complete books with the least of the owner's time. The IRS accepts any recordkeeping system that clearly shows income and expenses, so the tests that matter are time, the reports your accountant asks for and a price that follows the work.[1]

Bookkeeping apps come in two kinds. In most, a person types or approves every entry on a screen. With Conecto, the business's own AI agent keeps double-entry books from a chat in Claude, on iPhone, iPad, Mac or the web, and each booking costs $0.01.[2][3]

## Follow a practical reading path

- [Free bookkeeping apps and their cost](/free-bookkeeping-app/): Reading and reports cost nothing in Conecto, and a new account starts with $1.00 of credit, enough for 100 bookings.
- [Stripe, PayPal and Square in the books](/stripe-paypal-and-square-sales/): Sales arrive through payment apps. Connect them to Claude next to Conecto, and the agent books each payout and matches it when it lands.
