How we rank
How Tick Mark Books ticks a price
One standard month, the cheapest public plan that keeps it, the ledger added in, and the page each figure came from.
The standard month
Every product is priced for the same month: one small business with 100 transactions, on the cheapest public plan that can keep those books. Where a product works inside QuickBooks Online or Xero, the ledger's own plan is added, and both parts are shown. Prices are the regular ones: no first-months offers, no trials.
The tick
A tick beside a figure means we read that price on the maker's own page and quote it. An open tick means part of the month is not stated there. A product that publishes no price shows “Quote only” instead of a figure.
Order
Featured places come first, in their own labelled block. Then each category with three or more products is listed cheapest month first, with products we could not price at the end; a smaller one is listed A to Z. Paying never moves a product in that order.
Keeping it current
We re-read each maker's pricing page and update the figure when it changes. Makers correct their listing from their dashboard. Tick Mark Books compares software. It is not tax, legal or accounting advice.
