For a first team getting the shared record straight before anything else is switched on.
The plan most companies stay on. Automations across products, the API, and field-level permissions.
For multiple entities, a compliance requirement, or companies running most of the platform.
Only people who need to open Books count. Read-only viewers are free, which is usually most of the people who end up looking at it.
Comparison uses published list prices for the point tools each product replaces, at the same seat count.
Accounting software is usually priced by transaction volume, which means growing costs you twice. Invoices, bills, journals and bank lines are unlimited here; you pay for the people who open the ledger.
Multi-entity is the classic upgrade trigger — a second company, and suddenly you are quoted. It is in Complete at the published price, with no per-entity fee behind it.

No. Invoices, bills, journals and bank lines are unlimited. You are charged for the people who open the books.
Someone who only approves an expense from a notification does not. Someone who opens the ledger does.
It is in Complete rather than being quoted separately. Additional entities do not carry a per-entity fee.
Give them a seat or a read-only login. Read-only is free, which covers most external accountants.
The trial is the complete plan rather than a limited one, because a trial that hides the useful features tells you nothing. Nothing switches off at the end without you choosing it.
