Our verdict

Cybooks suits beginners and small businesses that want accounting, payroll and bank feeds in a single subscription. The 14 day free trial is the free route in, and the paid plan starts at €29 once that window closes, with payroll already part of it.

Scored 8.8 / 10 by ForgeCue.

Who it suits

  • Small businesses that want accounting and payroll handled by the same subscription
  • New bookkeepers who want bank feeds to do the data entry
  • Buyers who would rather test a tool for 14 days before paying

Who should look elsewhere

  • Price-first buyers: Qonto starts at €9 and Accountable at €9.90
  • Anyone who needs a permanent free tier, since the free plan is listed as no and the trial ends after 14 days
  • Buyers after a longer trial, given payroll software commonly runs 30

Intro and renewal prices

Cybooks lists no free plan, so the 14 day free trial is the only free look before paying. Published plans start at €29, with the plan name shown next to that figure. That same starting price is what a buyer weighs at renewal as well as at entry, so the entry figure sets the ongoing level rather than a temporary rate.

Frequently asked questions

How much does Cybooks cost to get started?+

Cybooks prices from €29. That is the figure for the paid plan, and there is no free plan to fall back on, so the free trial is the only route to the product at no cost. Qonto starts at €9 and Accountable at €9.90, so Cybooks sits above both at entry.

Is there a free plan, or only a free trial?+

Only a free trial. The free plan is listed as no, and the trial runs 14 days. Cybooks does not offer a permanent no-cost tier, so anyone who still needs the software after the trial window has to move onto a paid plan starting at €29.

What does a Cybooks renewal cost?+

The plan is billed from €29, the same starting figure shown for entry, so the opening paid period and the renewals after it work out at the same level. Payroll is included in that plan, so no extra payroll line is needed at renewal. Qonto lists €9 for a smaller starting figure.

Does Cybooks cover payroll as well as accounting?+

Payroll is included in the plan, so a small business does not have to buy a separate payroll product alongside its books. Bank feeds are also available, so transactions can be pulled in from banks rather than entered by hand, and the audience beginners and small business is served by the same subscription.

How long is the Cybooks free trial?+

The free trial runs 14 days, which is the entry route into Cybooks given the free plan is listed as no. Across the accounting tools ranked here, trials commonly run 15 days, so the Cybooks window sits near the middle of the field rather than at the long end.

Where is Cybooks based and who does it serve?+

Cybooks is headquartered in Cyprus and operates as SMK Shape & Shift LTD. The stated audience is beginners and small business, so the product is aimed at small businesses picking up bookkeeping rather than a finance team. Billy is a comparison point for anyone after a different market and a higher entry price.

Where does Cybooks sit on price against the tools compared here?+

On entry price Cybooks ranks 136 among 200 brands listed, which places it towards the dearer end of the field. The median entry price across the site is €13.15 and the upper quartile is €29. Cheaper picks include Qonto at €9 and Accountable at €9.90.
