How it works
The key difference from QuickBooks is pricing by plan rather than by seat: every tier includes unlimited users, so a bookkeeper, accountant, and business partner can all log in without extra cost. Xero raised its US prices in October 2026, but it remains cheaper than QuickBooks at comparable tiers.
Xero's Early plan costs $27 per month, Growing $59, and Established $97, all with unlimited users. There is no free plan, only a trial. Xero suits teams where several people need access to the books without paying per seat.
