QuickBooks’s prices are their public list prices at the time of writing and may have changed. Check theirs before deciding.

02Why people switch

It is an accounting package with invoicing attached, not a contractor's tool. No takeoff, no trades, no change orders, and the invoice flow assumes a desk.

  • No monthly fee to send an invoice
  • Only pay when you actually get paid
  • Set up in about two minutes, no demo call
03When to pick QuickBooks instead

Almost always, for the books. This is not an either/or — keep QuickBooks for accounting and use CloerCon to get the invoice out and get paid on it.

We would rather you picked the right tool than churned off ours in a month.
