Manage billing on Stripe

Your card, invoices, plan changes and cancellation are all handled on Stripe's secure billing portal.

  1. In Settings › Billing, click Manage billing.

  2. The button reads Opening Stripe… while the portal loads.

  3. On the portal, update your card, download invoices, switch between monthly and annual billing, or cancel.

  4. Return to ZeraBooks from the portal. You land back on Billing.


Prices

BillingPrice
Annual$79 a month, billed annually ($948 a year)
Monthly$149 a month

The plan includes every General Ledger feature and 3 active client companies, with no per-seat fees. See Start your free trial.

Tip: To avoid being charged, cancel in Manage billing before your 7-day trial ends.


Additional clients

BillingEach additional active client
Annual$290 a year
Monthly$29 a month

Additional clients are added to the same subscription. When a new client's setup finishes, you're charged a prorated amount for the rest of your current billing period. Archiving or deleting a client stops its charge from your next renewal; there are no mid-period refunds. Archived clients and your own books never count toward the 3 included.
