The short version

  • Only Omie has a free tier, so it costs nothing to try first.
  • Each has a real cost: Fishbowl the $229 per month Essentials plan includes only 2 users, Growth at $429 includes 5 and Scale at $729 includes 10, all billed annually; Omie price is not a flat figure but tiered across at least 7 revenue brackets from up to R$6,750/month to over R$400,000/month, so cost is not known until revenue bracket is entered
