Hi everyone, I’m planning to start using QuickBooks for my small business but I’m a bit confused about the pricing. Can anyone share how much does QuickBooks cost on average? I’d like to know the differences between the plans and whether it’s worth paying extra for advanced features. Any recommendations or experiences would be really helpful!
