Our verdict
Du Chinese suits beginners who want to start with no cost, and its pricing model is built around a free plan. Paid entry starts at $14.99, a little above €13.15 across the listings here, while support runs on email only, so help can be slower.

- About 49.7% of the listings in this group offer a free plan, so that perk alone is no reason to switch.

Frequently asked questions
Does Du Chinese have a free plan?+
Yes. A free plan is included, and free plan is the pricing model behind it, so the free tier is the default way in rather than a limited trial. Paid plans start at $14.99 once you outgrow the free version.
What is the cheapest way to start with Du Chinese?+
The free plan costs nothing and covers the first step. When you are ready to pay, entry is $14.99, which sits above €13.15 across the listings on this site but below €29.
How does Du Chinese compare with Qonto, Accountable and Billy on price?+
Du Chinese starts at $14.99. Qonto lists €9 and Accountable lists €9.90, both lower, while Billy lists DKK 160, higher than either. Du Chinese sits in the middle of the three, and each is quoted in its own currency.
Is there a free trial, or only a free plan?+
Only a free plan. The listed pricing model is free plan, and a free plan is included, so nothing runs out on a timer. You move to the paid tier at $14.99 when the free version stops covering your records.
Who is Du Chinese built for?+
The stated beginners fits the product, meaning people new to bookkeeping or small businesses putting their first books together. The free plan lets that group start before any spend, and the beginners focus keeps the product simple.
How do I get help if something is wrong?+
Support runs on email only, so questions go out in writing and wait for a reply. A help centre or chat line is not part of the listed channels, which suits people comfortable with email and suits an urgent question less well.
Who runs Du Chinese and how long has it been around?+
The company behind it is Sinamon AB, and it has been trading since 2015. That is a named legal entity on the terms side, which is what you look for when you want to know who you are contracting with.
Where does the entry price sit in this market?+
Du Chinese ranks 78 of 200 listings on entry price. The middle of the market sits at €13.15, with a lower quartile of €6.93 and an upper quartile of €29, so $14.99 is mid range.
