Mint Books vs Xero
Xero is popular but expensive. Their Starter plan limits you to 20 invoices per month and charges £16/mo. Mint Books gives you unlimited invoices from day one at just £9/mo. Plus we include Self Assessment and CIS support that Xero charges extra for.
Mint Books vs QuickBooks
QuickBooks Simple Start is £14/mo with no CIS support and no Self Assessment. Their Plus plan for full features is £28/mo. Mint Books Pro gives you everything at the same price but with UK-specific features like CIS and Self Assessment built in — not bolted on.
Mint Books vs FreeAgent
FreeAgent is a solid UK product at £24/mo — but that’s nearly 3x the price of Mint Books Essential. We offer the same UK tax features (Self Assessment, VAT, CIS) at a fraction of the cost. FreeAgent is free with some banks, but if you’re paying full price, you’re overpaying.
