A 30-day free trial is offered as an alternative to the promotional discount pricing (the site lets you choose one or the other).

Figures above are list prices; the official page was running a time-limited "90% off for 3 months, ends 8/27" promotion at verification time. Promotional pricing should not be quoted as baseline cost — re-verify after the promotion window closes.

Limitations worth knowing

  • Displayed discount pricing (90% off for 3 months) was a limited-time promotion at verification, not standing price — list prices reflect the standard rate.(QuickBooks Online Pricing & Free Trial)
  • Free plan has no accountant access and supports only 1 user.(QuickBooks Online Pricing & Free Trial)
