Subscription pricing with monthly billing, promotional discounts, and a 30-day free trial on eligible monthly plans.
↻ Billing notes
The supplied U.S. pricing page shows monthly billing with a 30-day free trial for eligible new QuickBooks Online subscriptions and a 50% introductory discount for the first 3 months. The documents state that after the trial or introductory period, customers are billed monthly at the then-current price until they cancel. The same pages say offers cannot be combined, and some usage-based or add-on fees are excluded from the discount. The documents also show that QuickBooks Online supports plan switching, and that accountant access varies by plan. Public seat minimums beyond the included user counts are not publicly disclosed on the supplied pages.

The supplied documents confirm payroll is available and that QuickBooks Online can connect with payroll and workforce tools, but they do not publicly disclose standalone payroll add-on pricing on the cited pages.
QuickBooks Payments
Not publicly disclosed
QuickBooks Payments is available for invoice payment acceptance, but the supplied documents say additional fees may apply and do not publicly disclose a standard add-on price on the cited pages.
Additional contractor payments
+ $2/additional contractor
The pricing reference for QuickBooks Workforce shows an incremental per-contractor charge for contractor payments.
⚠ Several commonly needed capabilities can increase the total cost because they are either sold as separate products or carry extra usage-based fees. The supplied documents say QuickBooks Payments requires a separate account and that additional fees may apply for pay-enabled invoices, while workforce products can add per-employee or per-contractor fees. One pricing reference also notes standard ACH bill pay usage above monthly allotments is charged at $0.50 per standard ACH transaction, so bill volume can affect the monthly bill.
⚠ The product pages also point to optional paid services and integrations that may affect implementation cost. For example, QuickBooks can connect to third-party apps, and the pricing pages note that some third-party apps may have additional terms and fees. The documents do not provide a complete public menu of every surcharge, so buyers should expect some costs to depend on payment volume, payroll headcount, and chosen integrations.
No. The supplied documents publicly disclose base plan prices and several included feature sets, but some add-ons such as payroll and payments do not show standalone public pricing on the cited pages. In those cases, the safest reading is that the product exists and may carry extra fees, but the exact amount is not publicly disclosed in the supplied material. Buyers should expect some costs to depend on usage, payroll headcount, payment volume, and selected services.
Yes. The pricing page says eligible new QuickBooks Online customers can get a free 30-day trial. The same document says the subscription is billed monthly after the trial ends at the then-current price unless the customer cancels. The offer also does not apply to every fee, because per-employee, per-contractor, and certain state filing fees are excluded.
Yes. The supplied pricing pages show a 50% introductory discount for the first 3 months on eligible monthly plans. The pages also say the discount is applied to the monthly base price, and that the offer cannot be combined with other offers for the same product. After the introductory period, pricing returns to the then-current monthly rate.
The main public plans step up by user count and operational depth. Simple Start focuses on basic bookkeeping and invoicing, Essentials adds multi-user workflows and richer billing/reporting, Plus adds inventory and project profitability, and Advanced adds higher-volume controls, batch workflows, and premium support. The supplied pages also show that Advanced includes up to 25 users, while Plus includes 5 users and Essentials includes 3 users.
