Best for Australian GST, BAS and payroll
MYOB is Australian accounting with GST, BAS lodgement, payroll and bank reconciliation, from A$11 a month for a phone-only sole trader plan. Those prices follow an introductory offer: Lite is A$35 and Pro A$70 at renewal, payroll is A$5 per employee on top, and it's Australian software only.
Who MYOB is for
- Fits if you're an Australian small business that needs GST, BAS and Single Touch Payroll
- Works for sole traders who want a phone-only app and a business bank account
Who MYOB is not for
- Not for you if you're outside Australia, as prices are Australian dollars and the tax is GST and BAS
- Pricey if you need Windows software: AccountRight Plus is A$165 a month at renewal
- Watch out: payroll is A$5 a month per employee on Lite and Pro
- Watch out: unlimited inventory is an A$22 a month add-on
- Watch out: the offer prices run only for the first 3 to 6 months

- CValue for moneyA$35 a month for Lite and A$70 for Pro at renewal, after 3 to 6 months at an offer price, with Solo at A$11. Roughly the middle of the category.

Keep MYOB, or make your own?
Keep it
To replace MYOB 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 is one of the better ones too: its GPA of 2.6 is higher than 49 of the 65 other accounting and invoicing tools we grade.
What you could make
- Invoicing, inventory, expense tracking and reports: an app builder makes these well.
What you could not
- Live feeds from your bank, which take an agreement with each bank or a service that has them.
- Payroll taxes worked out and filed with the government for you.
- Apps for Windows, iOS and Android that stay in step with each other.
- AI features, unless you pay a model provider for each request yourself.
- The depth: we grade its features B, which means it covers the whole job.
What this rests on. MYOB’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.
