Billin

  • Plan Basico caps usage at just 5 clients, 1 user and 10 products for EUR 6.60/month, well below what most active small businesses need
  • Plan Pro still caps clients at 50 and users at 3 for EUR 14/month, so any business with more clients must move to the unlimited EUR 23/month tier

  • Payroll is not included in any plan and costs an extra $36 a month plus $6 per employee or contractor through Gusto
