Why choose Reckon over Hnry?

Save more, stay in control, and manage all your business finances in one flexible, predictable platform.

Save big with Reckon

Hnry takes 1% + GST of your income – meaning if you earn $150,000, you’ll pay around $1,500 a year. Reckon One starts from just $24/month, so you’ll save hundreds annually while keeping full control over your finances.

Full control of your business finances

With Hnry, you can’t manage your own tax filings – the platform acts as your tax agent and handles everything on your behalf. Reckon gives you complete flexibility to manage your own accounting, BAS, and GST lodgements whenever you like, without losing oversight of your money.

All-in-one flexibility

Hnry doesn’t include payroll or super features, meaning you’ll still need other tools if your business grows. Reckon offers integrated payroll, STP reporting, and automated super so you can manage all aspects of your business in one simple, affordable platform.

Simple pricing, built for growth

Hnry’s percentage-based pricing scales up with your income, while Reckon keeps things fixed and predictable – just $24/month for accounting and $16/month for payroll. As your business expands, your Reckon cost stays the same – no income-based fees, no surprise charges.
