Ledger included

Synder is not the ledger: it posts into an accounting system you pay for separately, and the entry plans reach only QuickBooks Online, Xero or Puzzle, so that subscription sits on top of Synder's fee.

What the price is based on

Pricing is a flat monthly base per account set by the monthly transaction volume you sync, with each plan carrying an included allowance and higher volume billed separately within the same plan.

The final price is tailored to match your monthly transaction syncing needs within the plan limits.

What it costs to keep your booksYes

Users included

Each plan includes a set number of additional users beyond the owner, one on Basic and Essential, two on Pro and Pro Max, unlimited on Premium, and further users cost a fee Synder does not publish.

Additional Synder users available based on your plan’s limit. Extra users can be added for a fee.

What it costs to keep your booksYes

Past your plan’s limits

Passing the included sync allowance does not stop the service: extra syncs can be bought and the plan cards say higher volume is billed separately, but no per-transaction overage rate is published anywhere.

Imports are available within your sync limit (if exceeded, additional syncs can be purchased).

Catching up past months

Synder backfills past months by importing platform history from any start date, but history is a paid extra on Basic and Essential and only Pro and above include three free months; it is not a bookkeeper cleaning up existing books.

Reconciles your accounts

Reconciliation runs inside Synder on every plan: clearing-account lines are matched to the platform's own records, period balances are verified before summaries post, and payouts are split into charges, fees and refunds.

People check the books

No bookkeeper checks the output: Synder states it runs machines end to end with no human in the loop, so reviewing the mismatches it flags before they post is your job or your accountant's.

Your own bookkeeper

Synder assigns nobody to your books; it says no human touches the data, and the named person higher plans provide is a customer success manager for the software, not a bookkeeper or accountant.

Synder is an automated system all the way through, which means data privacy, absolute accuracy and lots of data processed in seconds.

Your accountant can sign in

Every plan includes at least one additional user beyond the owner, one on Basic and Essential and two on Pro and Pro Max, so an accountant can be invited at no extra cost until that limit is used up.

Accuracy the vendor claims
