BarBooks offers a simple subscription structure.

You will get access to a stable, intuitive and easy-to-use product to save you time and keep track of your income and expenses. First, we offer a prepaid 12-month subscription for $720 excl of GST (the equivalent of $60 per month excl of GST) for the Regular Annual Subscription, and $864 excl of GST (the equivalent of $72 per month excl of GST) for the yearly subscription with Bank Rec. Second, we have a month-by-month subscription for $60 for the regular subscription (excluding GST) and $72 per month (excl GST) if with the Live Bank Feeds functionality (Bank Rec). For Readers, we understand the constraints you have during your first year. So we offer a special rate of $180 excl of GST for the full Reader’s package, which also includes the Bank Rec feature and Complimentary BAS service (Barrister rate applies at renewal).

You can cancel your subscription at any time. For a month-by-month subscription, upon cancellation, we will charge you for usage up to and including the end of the current monthly billing cycle. For a 12-month subscription, you will still be charged for the current 12-month period, but not for any further periods. But before you cancel, we would like you to contact us and let us know if we can improve our product, so that we can keep you with us!
