About XeroXero

Xero's distinguishing decision is that every plan includes unlimited users, so adding a bookkeeper or a second director costs nothing. The United States plans run Early at US$25 a month with 20 invoices and 5 bills, Growing at US$55 with those limits removed, and Established at US$90 adding multiple currencies, expense claims and project tracking. Payroll comes through a Gusto partnership and inventory through a separate Inventory Plus product. A 90% introductory discount was running when we read the page.
