Tools whose own pricing page shows a free plan or a price of 30 or less per month (currency as shown). Captured prices with dates.

24 tools · facts checked 2026-10-17 · alphabetical, not ranked

Starting small? These tools show a free plan or a monthly price of 30 or less (in the currency shown) on their own pricing page. Prices change and often depend on users, clients or volume, so treat this as a shortlist and confirm the plan details on each vendor's site.

How tools qualify for this guide

  • At least one captured price string on the vendor's pricing page is $0, or is 30 or less with a monthly term (the currency is whatever the vendor showed: USD, CAD or other).
  • Annual-only prices, per-document prices and prices we couldn't capture are excluded.
  • Tools may require add-ons, per-user or per-client fees above the base price.

Across these 24 tools: 12 connect to QuickBooks · 11 connect to Xero · 2 connect to Sage · 4 connect to NetSuite.

What to check before you choose

  • Check what the free or entry plan limits (users, clients, transactions).
  • Compare per-client pricing if you serve many small clients.
  • Watch for prices shown in a different currency from yours.
