## ToolGPA grades

**GPA: 2.2 out of 4**, graded Nov 13, 2026. Bookkeep turns sales, refunds, fees and sales tax from Shopify, Amazon, Square, Toast and more into journal entries in QuickBooks, Xero, NetSuite and others. But each legal entity needs its own subscription, plans change as revenue and channels grow, and add-ons and history are billed separately.

- **Value for money: C.** $19 a month per entity for Lite, up to $200k revenue and 1 channel. That's in the cheaper half of the category, but the plans climb to $1,199.
- **Free plan and trial: C.** A 14-day free trial of any plan with no card. There is no free plan.
- **Features: C.** Summarised journal entries, many channels, sales tax filing and payout splitting. It does one job fully, a smaller job than accounting, and posts into your accounting system.
- **Ease of use: C.** No store rating on record, and you connect channels and map categories.
- **Platforms and integrations: B.** Web only, with QuickBooks, Xero, Zoho Books, NetSuite, Sage Intacct, Shopify, Amazon and Square.

## Keep it, or make your own?

**Keep it.** To replace Bookkeep you would be making live feeds from your bank, which take an agreement with each bank or a service that has them. That is not a weekend's work, with an AI app builder or without one. It costs $228 a year.

- You could make: Reports: an app builder makes this well.
- You could not: Live feeds from your bank, which take an agreement with each bank or a service that has them.
- You could not: Checkout, card payments and sales tax handled for you.
- You could not: Data from Amazon's seller tools and years of sales estimates.
- You could not: Connections to other products, each kept working as those products change.
