Every plan, every feature, and the price you are paying now
SeroBooks is a paid service. Every plan starts with a 14-day free trial: a card starts it, nothing is charged until the trial ends, and you can cancel any time before then.

Add-ons, for any plan
Added to the plan you already have. Ask us and we add one to your subscription; nothing already in your books changes.
Amazon settlements, fees, taxes and returns posted into your books. Works with any SeroBooks plan.
Sync SeroBooks with QuickBooks. Added to an existing plan.
One more location, in SeroPOS and SeroBooks alike. For Standard and Pro.
Five more people on the books.
What we do not do
Vehicle mileage tracking. QuickBooks Desktop keeps a mileage log and rates it for you. We do not, at all — a trip is an expense you enter like any other. If your business lives on mileage claims, that is a real difference and you should weigh it now.
Live bank feeds are rolling out, not universal. Reconciliation is designed to work perfectly well from a CSV statement, because that is what most Canadian banks give you reliably today.
Foreign-currency sales are not built. Multi-currency bills, with realised exchange gain and loss on settlement, are there. Invoicing a customer in a currency other than your own is not, and we will say so again if you ask.
QuickBooks Online does not receive Amazon settlements. QuickBooks Desktop receives settlement journals. QuickBooks Online receives customers, items, invoices, credit notes, payments and expenses, but not settlements or supplier bills.
Maya is early access. On the plans that include her, she answers questions about your business and sends morning briefings. The table above shows which plans those are. The claim we make about Maya is governance, not cleverness.
Forecasting is arithmetic, not AI. It reads your own sales history and tells you when you run out, what to reorder and which weeks repeat every year. It shows its bands honestly and it does not learn. We would rather say that than call it a model.
Frequently asked questions
Is a card needed for the free trial?
Yes. The trial starts at Stripe's secure checkout with a card. Nothing is charged for the 14 days, the plan price is charged when the trial ends, and you can cancel any time before then from Subscription in the app.
Is that per user or per business?
Per business, with users included: 5 on Starter, 5 on Standard, 6 on Pro, 3 on the Amazon plan. Seat friction is what makes people share logins, and a shared login destroys the audit trail an accountant relies on. More seats are available; ask us rather than buying blind.
I am an accountant. Which plan do I need?
None. Register your practice rather than buying a plan: you work inside each client's subscription, so practice seats are free and there is nothing for you to pay. You get your own books, and a client list that starts with them. Each client connects by reading you a code from their own SeroBooks — it works once and expires in thirty minutes.
Does Standard include payroll?
No. Payroll is a Pro feature, for Canada and the United States, with T4 and W-2 slips and a pay run that reaches the ledger exactly once. Standard is the whole of the books without it. We would rather draw that line clearly here than have you find it on a Friday.
Is SeroBooks for Amazon the same as Starter plus the Amazon add-on?
Yes: it is Starter's books with the Amazon add-on built in, and 3 users instead of 5. It is one subscription with one price.
Can I add Amazon to Starter, Standard or Pro?
Yes. Amazon is an add-on that works with any plan, $100 a month or $1,000 a year: settlements, fees, marketplace taxes and returns posted into your books. No plan includes it, so nobody pays for it twice or gets it by accident. Ask us and we add it to your subscription.
Can I pay monthly?
Yes, on every plan. Annual costs less than twelve months: $799 against $959.88 on Starter, $1,500 against $1,800 on Standard, $3,000 against $3,600 on Pro, $1,500 against $1,800 on the Amazon plan. Annual plans are billed for the whole year when the trial ends.
What happens if we outgrow a plan?
Upgrading opens the extra features immediately and changes nothing already in your books. The plan decides what is available, never what is already recorded.
Are these prices final?
These are the prices today. If we change the price list, a subscription you already have keeps the price it started at; the new price applies to people who subscribe after the change.
