    Why Users Switch from QuickBooks

    1

    At $35/month minimum, you're paying for payroll, tax prep, and inventory tools you'll never touch

    2

    Steep learning curve, designed for accountants, not for business owners who just want to create an invoice

    3

    There's no invoicing-only tier: $35/month is the entry price whether you use the full accounting suite or just send invoices

    4

    Users regularly report surprise price increases, Intuit has raised QuickBooks prices multiple times in recent years

    Common Questions About Switching from QuickBooks

    No. QuickBooks is a full accounting platform that includes features most freelancers and small businesses will never use: payroll, inventory management, 1099 filing, and bank reconciliation. If your goal is to send professional invoices and get paid online, SolidInvoice covers that from $9/month on Solo, or $19/month on Pro with unlimited clients, without the accounting overhead or the $35 price tag.

    Yes. You can add any tax rate to invoice line items, GST, VAT, sales tax, or custom rates. SolidInvoice handles tax on invoices. It doesn't do tax filing or full bookkeeping, for that, many users pair it with a dedicated accountant or accounting software.

    SolidInvoice doesn't have a built-in import tool yet, data import is on our roadmap. The simplest approach is to add your active clients to SolidInvoice manually and start invoicing immediately. Keep QuickBooks in read-only mode for historical records. Most users are fully set up and invoicing within an hour.

    Our pricing starts at $9/month and we are committed to keeping it transparent. Unlike services that raise prices mid-contract, we notify users well in advance of any changes. You can also lock in your rate by switching to annual billing from $90/year.
