Reckon accounting plans include unlimited invoices so you pay the one low flat fee no matter how many you need to send!

Payroll software to suit your business needs

Reckon charges $12/month for up to 4 employees making our payroll super affordable for small businesses. On Xero you have to be on an $85/month plan to include 4 employees. Ouch!

Unlimited users & team members

Admin team members that have logins for the product are unlimited on Reckon. So you can invite anyone in your team, your accountant and family members to log in for no extra cost.

Moving your data from Xero to Reckon is quick and easy with our migration service. It’s free when you sign up for Reckon Plus or Premium plans.

Affordable accounting for all team sizes

Xero starts at $32 per month*

  • But if you send more than 20 invoices a month, you’ll be charged $65 per month*.
  • If you have 2 employees, you’ll be charged $65 per month.
  • If you have 3 employees, you’ll be charged $85 per month. Ouch!
  • Want to manage expense tracking? Beware Xero Expenses is an additional $5 extra per user per month!

All these additional costs add up for small businesses. That’s why Reckon is the ideal Xero alternative.

While Reckon One starts from just $12 per month

  • Our Invoice package includes unlimited invoices
  • Our payroll package includes payroll for up to 4 employees for just $12/month
  • Or payroll for up to 10 employees for just $20/month
  • Admin users logging into your account are unlimited

So you can be confident that you won’t experience a steep increase in your accounting software as your business and cash flow grow.

*Monthly cost of Xero ‘Starter’, ‘Standard’ and ‘Premium 5’ plans at the standard price, correct as of December 2023.
