Accounting, Payroll & HR Software

Back-office software is priced in ways that make shopping hard: per user, per employee, per month plus a setup fee, or free with a catch buried in the plan limits. These comparisons pick one kind of business and one constraint, such as a nonprofit, a solo therapist under $10 a month, a salon running payroll, or a restaurant tracking inventory, and line up only the tools that fit.

Columns cover the starting price and how it's billed, whether a free plan or free option exists and what it leaves out, where the software runs (web, desktop, iPhone, or your own server), and who it's built for. Some tables add category details like invoice capture or recipe costing. Every price and limit links to the vendor's pricing or feature page, quoted as written.

Software pricing changes often, and introductory rates expire. Check the date on each page and the pricing link before you sign up, especially for payroll, where per-employee fees add up quickly.
