Deelo starts free with all 50+ apps and upgrades to $19/seat/month. QuickBooks Online costs $30 - $200/mo and only covers accounting. For businesses that need more than one tool, Deelo replaces multiple subscriptions with a single, affordable platform.
QuickBooks Online excels at accounting with features like double-entry bookkeeping with chart of accounts and bank feed connections and auto-reconciliation. Deelo matches these capabilities and adds CRM, invoicing, scheduling, helpdesk, eCommerce, HR, project management, and 40+ more apps — all connected, all included.
Deelo gets most businesses running in under 15 minutes with industry-specific onboarding. QuickBooks Online requires more time and configuration to get started. The difference is that with Deelo, you set up one platform instead of integrating five.
Deelo includes a built-in AI assistant that can answer questions, pull data, and help you navigate across all 50+ apps. QuickBooks Online may offer support documentation and chat, but it cannot reach into your CRM, invoices, and schedules the way Deelo's integrated assistant can.
