The report card
Best for online sellers who post settlements to Xero or QuickBooks
Link My Books imports payouts from Amazon, eBay, Shopify, Etsy and others, and posts them to Xero or QuickBooks Online with the right tax rules. But the price rises as your orders grow, extra channels cost $17 each on Premium, and some channels are limited to certain countries.
| Subject | Grade | Comment |
|---|---|---|
| Value for money | C | $20 a month for up to 15 orders and 1 channel, then $47 at 1,000 orders and $112 at 10,000. About the category's middle, and it rises with you. |
| Free plan and trial | C | A 14-day free trial with no card. There is no free plan. |
| Features | C | Settlement posting, VAT, sales tax and GST, profit and loss by channel and many channels. It does one job fully, a smaller job than accounting, and Xero or QuickBooks does the books. |
| Ease of use | C | No store rating on record, and you connect each sales channel and your accounting system. |
| Platforms and integrations | B | Web only, with Xero, QuickBooks Online, Amazon, Shopify, eBay, Etsy, Walmart and Square. |
An A is worth 4 points, a B 3, a C 2, a D 1 and an F nothing. The GPA is the average of the five.

Keep it, or make your own?
Whether this is something you could build for yourself with an AI app builder, and what you would give up.
Keep it
To replace Link My Books 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 $240 a year.
What you could make
- Reports: an app builder makes this well.
What you could not
- Live feeds from your bank, which take an agreement with each bank or a service that has them.
- Data from Amazon's seller tools and years of sales estimates.
- Checkout, card payments and sales tax handled for you.
- Connections to other products, each kept working as those products change.
- Sharing with other people, which means accounts and invitations.
What this rests on. Link My Books’s listing: what it does, where it runs, what it plugs into and what it costs. It is a judgement about the kind of software this is. We have not built a replacement for it, and making your own means looking after it too. How we decide, and every tool’s verdict.
