Zoho Books

Online accounting software with a free plan for small businesses, recurring invoicing, bank rules, reconciliation and project billing.

ToolScout view

Zoho Books combines a free plan for small businesses with automation that matters as they grow. The manufacturer documents recurring invoices and bills, quote-to-invoice conversion, payment reminders and card auto-charge, bank rules that categorize transactions, reconciliation and project billing by hours, tasks or expenses. The free plan applies up to $50K annual revenue and 1,000 invoices a year. However, buyers should expect more settings to configure than in the simplest invoicing tools.

Before you choose: Set up one bank rule and one recurring invoice, then check that your revenue and invoice volume stay inside the free plan limits.
