Billbooks vs QuickBooks

QuickBooks Alternative: Billbooks vs QuickBooks

Where QuickBooks Pricing Adds Up

QuickBooks Online runs $38 to $340 a month across its four plans, and every tier caps how many users you can add, from 1 user on Simple Start up to 25 on Advanced. Billbooks starts at $7.95/month with 2 users and 100 clients already included, so you only move up in price when you actually need more.

Are you still invoicing the old way?​

Moving From QuickBooks to Billbooks

There’s no one-click migration between the two. Export your client list and past invoices from QuickBooks (it supports CSV export for lists and PDF export for individual invoices), then bring that data into Billbooks in a few minutes.

From there, everything runs the way it always has: invoices still go out as normal PDFs, clients still get the same kind of document they’re used to receiving, and nothing about how you get paid changes. You just stop paying for QuickBooks user seats you don’t need.

FAQs

Yes. Billbooks starts at $7.95/month with 2 users and 100 clients included. QuickBooks Online starts at $38/month for a single user, and moving up to more users or features means jumping to its $85, $140, or $340 a month plans.

Not at the tiers you’re likely to need. Billbooks’ $7.95/month Basic plan includes 2 users, and the $14.95/month Standard plan includes 5. QuickBooks Online includes only 1 user on its entry plan and requires a higher-priced tier for every user beyond that.
