Looking for a MYOB alternative?
Get better bang for your buck with Reckon accounting software
Reckon One pricing starts from only $24/month, MYOB starts from $35!
Why choose Reckon over MYOB?
More features, fewer limits, and fair pricing that grows with your business – without the hidden costs.
Save big with Reckon
Reckonโs entry-level plan starts from just $24/month, while MYOBโs comparable plan begins at around $35/month – thatโs 30% cheaper. Thatโs a big saving each year – and every Reckon plan includes the essential features small businesses need, all at a fair price.
Unlimited bank connections
MYOB restricts you to just two bank account connections, which can quickly become limiting as your business grows. Reckon offers unlimited bank connections across all plans, so you can reconcile and manage your finances without restriction.
Affordable payroll that scales with you
With MYOB, youโll pay $3 per employee per month – but once you have more than four staff, youโre forced to upgrade to MYOB Business Pro at $70/month ($840 a year). Ouch! Those costs add up fast. With Reckon, payroll is optional, affordable, and scales with you – starting from just $16/month for up to four employees.
Free onboarding and real support
Reckon includes a free onboarding session (MYOB does not), plus live chat and phone support on every plan. With MYOB, youโre often left to figure things out on your own. With Reckon, you get guidance and support whenever you need it.

"I quickly crossed off the MYOB option as it was complex (I am not a trained accountant) and I found customer service not helpful. I then tried ReckonOne and didnโt look back. The accounts were easy to set up and aside from a few minor issues (mainly my understanding of the system), I got it up and running well. Customer service checked on me several times during my trial period and offered help as needed. So far so good I am very impressed and the package is very affordable."

Frequently asked questions
Can I easily switch my data from Xero or other platforms to Reckon?
Yes. Moving to Reckon is designed to be straightforward. We support guided data migration from major accounting platforms, including your chart of accounts, contacts, invoices, and historical transactions. Our onboarding support team can assist to reduce downtime and ensure your books are set up correctly from day one.
If youโre concerned about disruption, most businesses find they can continue normal operations while the migration is being completed in parallel.
Will my accountant or bookkeeper be able to use Reckon?
Absolutely. Reckon is widely used by Australian accountants and bookkeepers, with a long-established local ecosystem.
Your existing advisor can continue working with you in Reckon without needing to change their workflow significantly. If your accountant hasnโt used Reckon before, we provide onboarding support and training resources to make the transition smooth.
Unlike some global platforms, Reckon is built specifically with Australian accounting professionals in mind, so compliance and reporting are already aligned to local needs.
Does Reckon support Single Touch Payroll (STP) compliance?
Yes. Reckon is fully ATO-compliant and supports Single Touch Payroll (STP) reporting, including STP Phase 2 requirements.
You can confidently manage payroll reporting directly to the ATO, helping ensure your obligations are met accurately and on time. Updates are automatically maintained so you stay compliant as regulations evolve.
How long does it take to switch to Reckon?
Most small to medium businesses can be up and running in a few days. Our team can help streamline the process so youโre not stuck managing a lengthy transition.
We also provide step-by-step onboarding guidance so you can switch at a pace that suits your business.
