Pricing entry tiers: Exact Online Bookkeeping at Free trial available, QuickBooks Online at Free to install. Check each app's tier structure for the capacity limits you actually need before deciding — the headline number is the same shape, but the gating shape per tier (seats, usage volume, integrations) varies.

Recommended by size: small/early-stage merchants who need fast install and low risk should default to Exact Online Bookkeeping; mid-market and enterprise merchants with specific feature requirements should evaluate both — QuickBooks Online's 3,307-review base may include the workflow context that matches your specific use case better than Exact Online Bookkeeping's broader-but-shallower coverage.
