Frequently asked questions

How much does PrimeBooks cost?+

Plans start at UGX 35,000, and a free plan is available for teams that want to begin without paying anything. The entry price of UGX 35,000 sits next to that free tier, and paid plans include 4 users.

Is there a free trial, and how long does it last?+

Yes, a free trial runs 60, and a free plan is available as well. That trial length places PrimeBooks at 4 of 166 brands ranked on trial length, above the 15 median for accounting software in this group.

Is there a free plan as well as a trial?+

A free plan is available alongside the free trial, so a team can start at no cost and still have a free tier to fall back on. Across the accounting software listed here, 49.7% of brands offer a free plan, so it is a common choice rather than a rare extra.

What local tax and compliance does it cover?+

Local compliance covers e invoicing, which matters if you issue electronic invoices to local authorities. No other regional scheme appears among e invoicing, so a business trading across several tax regimes should check that first.

Which platforms does PrimeBooks run on?+

It runs on Windows, macOS and Linux, so it works on a Windows laptop, a Mac or a Linux machine without a separate tool for each system. That suits small teams whose staff sit on mixed hardware.

Who is PrimeBooks built for?+

It is aimed at small business, and that focus shows in the offer: 4 users are included in the plan and support runs on email, phone and help centre. Larger organisations needing wide seat counts or several tax regimes sit outside that audience.

How is PrimeBooks supported?+

Support runs on email, phone and help centre, so you get direct contact plus self-service material in the same place. A help centre is the most common support channel across the brands listed here, carried by 70.2% of them, and PrimeBooks sits in that group.

How does its entry price compare with Qonto, Accountable and Billy?+

PrimeBooks starts at UGX 35,000. Qonto starts at €9, Accountable at €9.90 and Billy at DKK 160, so each price sits in its own currency and market. Compare them in the currency you actually pay in.

Who runs PrimeBooks and where is it based?+

The product comes from Prime Focus Ug Ltd and is based in Uganda. Both point to a Uganda based operation, which lines up with local compliance covering e invoicing for the market it serves.
