What QuickBooks Online actually costs
The monthly figure a coach at that roster size pays, add-ons the platform forces on you included. Same engine the shortlist quiz uses, so these cannot disagree with it.

Four paid plans plus a $0 plan, all flat per company and billed monthly with no annual contract; what moves the price is users and features, not clients. Full prices are $38, $85, $140 and $340; the page shows 50% off for the first three months (the asterisked terms sit in a pop-up the fetch could not read). Free allows 1 user, 2 invoices a month and one bank connection, with no mobile app or integrations. Simple Start is 1 user, Essentials 3, Plus 5, Advanced 25; each adds 2 accountant seats (3 on Advanced). Projects, inventory and budgets start at Plus; roles, workflows and batch invoicing at Advanced. A 30-day free trial is offered; whether it can be combined with the discount is not stated on the page. Payroll is a separate add-on not priced in the plan cards read.

Who it suits
Built for: A US business that wants the accounting software its accountant already uses, with a path from one user to a 25-seat finance team.
Weak at: It is the dearest ladder in the category once the three-month discount ends ($38 for one user, $140 before you get projects and inventory), and the free plan is a two-invoice-a-month shop window rather than something to run a business on.
