Our verdict
Alegra suits small businesses in Latin America that need e-invoicing, payroll and bank feeds under one subscription, and its free trial model makes the switch low risk. Entry sits at COP 17,900 with no free plan, so the first month is already a paid commitment.

Pros and cons
Pros
- Payroll is included, so a small business does not buy a second payroll product.
- Covers e invoicing, a requirement many small businesses in the region cannot skip.
- Bank feeds are included, so transactions arrive in the account without retyping.
- Support runs on email, chat and phone.
Cons
- There is no free plan, so the first outlay arrives earlier than with a free tier.
- Entry is COP 17,900, a peso figure to weigh against Qonto at €9 and Accountable at €9.90.
- The entry tier covers 1 user, so any extra seat changes the total.
Who it suits
- Small businesses that must issue e-invoicing documents in the region (e invoicing).
- Solo operators who want payroll in the same subscription as their accounts (included, 1).
- Owners who keep books on a phone, with bank feeds and ios access on hand.
Who should look elsewhere
- Buyers chasing the lowest entry price: Qonto at €9 and Accountable at €9.90 are the cheaper listings to check.
- Teams that need desktop and Android access should look past Alegra, which lists ios for mobile, and compare Qonto or Billy instead.
- Anyone wanting a permanent free tier should check Qonto or Accountable, since Alegra's free plan answer is no.
What it does well
Alegra bundles the work a small business repeats every month: bank feeds, included in the same place, and invoices that leave the account ready to send. The entry tier is built for 1 user, so a sole trader can run it without paying for seats that go unused. Mobile access runs through ios.
Plans and pricing
Pricing starts at COP 17,900, and there is no free plan, so the first invoice is a paid one rather than a trial that quietly ends. The same figure can be set against Qonto at €9 and Billy at DKK 160, though the currencies differ and only Alegra's is quoted in pesos.

Frequently asked questions
What does Alegra cost to get started?+
Alegra plans start at COP 17,900. There is no free plan, so that figure is what a small business pays from the first month rather than a tier to graduate from later. The entry price also sits above Qonto at €9 and Accountable at €9.90, though both are quoted in euros.
Is there a free Alegra plan?+
No. The free plan answer is a plain no, so every Alegra account moves from a trial to a paid tier. Access starts on a free trial (free trial) and billing begins at COP 17,900 once it ends, which keeps the first invoice predictable.
Does the Alegra plan include payroll?+
Payroll is included in the Alegra subscription, so a small business does not buy a separate payroll product on top. The entry tier covers 1 user, which suits a founder handling payroll and accounts in the same login rather than a larger team.
Is Alegra set up for local invoicing rules?+
Alegra covers e invoicing for small businesses selling in the region, so documents can be issued in the required format from the same account that holds the books. That removes a manual step from billing for anyone whose local rules are checked at invoice time.
Does Alegra connect to bank accounts?+
Yes, bank feeds are part of Alegra, so transactions land in the account without retyping. For a small business that is the difference between books kept current and a month-end reconstruction, and it sits alongside included for teams paying staff from the same records.
Which devices does Alegra run on?+
Alegra lists ios for mobile access, so a phone user is covered. Desktop and Android apps are not listed, which matters for a small business that works from a fixed office machine and expects the same app on every handset it owns.
How can I reach Alegra support?+
Support runs on email, chat and phone, so a small business can pick email, live chat, a phone call or the help centre depending on the question. A call suits a blocked invoice, while the help centre covers routine settings work that needs no appointment.
Who is Alegra built for?+
Alegra's stated audience is small business, and the product details back that up: included, bank feeds and e invoicing cover the paperwork a small team handles weekly. The provider behind the service is Soluciones Alegra S.A.S..
