Looking for a Xero alternative?
Get better bang for your buck with Reckon accounting software
Reckon Accounting Plus pricing starts from only $22/month, Xero starts from $35!
Why choose Reckon over Xero?
Better value, fair pricing, no hidden costs, and support that’s actually there when you need it.
Save big with Reckon
Reckon’s entry-level plan is just $22/month, compared to Xero’s starter tier at around $35/month – that’s 59% cheaper. And every Reckon plan remains more affordable than Xero’s middle tier, giving your business better value without compromising on features.
Fair pricing tiers you can rely on
Reckon’s tier structure grows with your business, without forcing steep jumps. Xero’s starter plan limits you to 20 invoices and 5 bills per month, meaning you have to upgrade quickly to handle growth. With Reckon, you get a flexible plan, unlimited invoices and tiers that scale at a sensible price.
Avoid hidden costs
Xero Expenses is only for 1 user. Got 2 employees? You’ll need their $75/month plan, plus $5 per additional user per month. Project management and other features also add extra fees. Reckon includes unlimited users and features, so there are no surprises.
Support that’s actually there
