Our verdict
AccountsIQ opens at £250, a step up from the €9 entry point at Qonto and the €9.90 at Accountable, so it suits a business that wants one settled accounting bill rather than the lowest opening figure. The price is published up front and there is no free plan to test it on.

Pros and cons
Pros
- The entry price is a single published figure, £250, so the first bill is easy to plan for.
- The app covers ios, so the books can be opened away from a desk.
- Small business is the main reader of this category, with 95.4% of the brands in the ranking aimed there, and the £250 entry price suits a business that books every month.
Cons
- There is no free plan, so the suite cannot be sampled at no cost before paying.
- The entry price of £250 is well above the €13.15 middle price across the field.
- Only ios is listed, so a desktop or Android based setup has no matching app here.
Who it suits
- A small business that wants accounting in one place and will pay £250 for it.
- Anyone whose bookkeeping is a monthly habit, not a once-a-year job.
- A business working on ios that wants the books close at hand.
Who should look elsewhere
- Qonto, at €9 to start, for buyers chasing the lowest opening bill here.
- Accountable, at €9.90 to start, for euro budgets that stop at the first invoice.
- Billy, at DKK 160 to start, for a business willing to shop around to hold the first year down.

Frequently asked questions
How much does AccountsIQ cost to get going?+
AccountsIQ lists an entry price of £250, and that figure is published rather than left to a sales call. The middle entry price across the brands compared here is €13.15, so AccountsIQ asks noticeably more than the typical accounting package on this site.
Is there a free plan?+
The free plan answer is a no, so £250 is the point where costs start. Free plans are split evenly across the brands compared here, with 51% offering one and 49% not, which places AccountsIQ among the ones charging from the first invoice.
Which platforms does it run on?+
The listed platform is ios. A business that runs its day on a desktop, or on a different mobile platform, will not find a matching app in that list, which is worth weighing against an entry price of £250.
How does that compare with Qonto, Accountable and Billy?+
Qonto starts at €9 and Accountable at €9.90, both far below AccountsIQ's £250. Billy opens at DKK 160. The gap is wide enough that the decision turns on what the higher fee buys rather than on the size of the opening invoice.
Where does the price sit in the market?+
Ranked on price from, AccountsIQ comes 196 of 200 brands, so it sits at the expensive end of the field. The upper quartile of entry prices here is €29, and the £250 entry price is above it.
Who is AccountsIQ aimed at?+
Small business dominates accounting software on this site, with 95.4% of the brands in this ranking aimed there and 17.7% at beginners. An entry price of £250 points at a trading business that has transactions to record.
What about renewal pricing?+
AccountsIQ publishes one entry figure, £250. Across the brands compared here the median renewal price is €5.99 while the median introductory price is €2.99. Renewal sitting above the opening offer is common, so the second year figure is the one worth checking.
