One price. No treadmill.
Accessory Accounting costs $350, once. Your first year of AI service is included. After that, AI renewal is $99 a year — but the accounting application keeps working whether you renew or not.
- Full accounting application — GL, AR, AP, Payroll, Inventory
- 290+ built-in reports, fully customizable
- AI assistant with voice responses
- Data Import (ETL) accessory — source code included
- Local Access backend or SQL Server backend
- Up to 200 concurrent users on SQL Server
- Lifetime use of the accounting application
- Free updates to the accounting engine
What works with the AI. What works without it.
The accounting engine and AI service are separate. Your books and reports are yours, whether or not the AI is active.
Everything, conversational.
- Chat-based transaction entry
- Voice responses
- AI-assisted reconciliation
- Auto Mode (after trust is earned)
- AI-generated accessories on request
- Plain-English report queries
- Everything below, of course
Still a full accounting package.
- All 290+ reports
- Full GL, AR, AP, Payroll, Inventory
- All your existing accessories still work
- Manual transaction entry, traditional forms
- All data intact, fully accessible
- Printing, exporting, backup — all unchanged
- Resume AI anytime by renewing
If we ever shut down, your accounting keeps working. The application is on your machine, your data is on your machine, and the accounting engine runs without any server connection at all. You'd lose the AI features — nothing else.
The math, over three years.
A small business on Accessory pays once and renews once a year. On a competitor, you rent every month, forever.

| Year 2 | $99 | ~$780 | ~$564 | ~$396 |
| Year 3 | $99 | ~$780 | ~$564 | ~$396 |

About the money.
What counts as "normal" AI usage?
Ordinary daily conversations — recording transactions, asking questions, getting reports read aloud, requesting an accessory now and then. What's not normal: scripted API-style hammering, bulk document ingestion, or using the AI as a third-party platform for your own product. If that's what you need, get in touch and we'll quote.
Does the license cover multiple computers?
Yes. The $350 license covers one business entity, installed on as many devices as that business needs. If you have two businesses, you need two licenses (each with its own ledger).
What if I want the AI back after skipping a year?
Renew the AI service at $99 and it comes back on. There's no penalty or back-billing. Your ledger continued to track correctly while it was off.
Do you offer discounts?
There's a simple accountant referral program — CPAs who refer clients get recurring credit on their own AI renewals. Contact us for the details.
Is there a free trial?
There's a 30-day money-back guarantee instead. Buy it, use it for a month, and if it's not right we'll refund in full. We think that's more honest than a 14-day trial that locks half the features.
Enterprise / multi-entity pricing?
For accounting firms managing multiple client books, or businesses running multiple entities under one roof, we offer volume pricing and a consolidated AI service contract. Contact sales for a quote.
Simple enough to decide right now.
$350. First year of AI included. Thirty-day money-back guarantee. That's the whole deal.
