You run a business, not a finance department. Here’s how ExpenseGhost stacks up against the tools you’re probably weighing, with what each one charges.
Bench runs $199 to $599/mo for a human bookkeeper who closes your books after the month ends. ExpenseGhost is $16/mo with live books you can read today.
Collective bundles formation, payroll, and bookkeeping from $199/mo, inside their own ecosystem. ExpenseGhost is $16/mo for the books, and you keep your own CPA, payroll, and entity timing.
Hurdlr's $10/mo Premium sorts your year into buckets, not IRS lines, and real books sit in its $200/yr Pro tier. ExpenseGhost is $16/mo with every transaction tied to a Schedule C box.
Pilot is built for VC-backed startups: human bookkeeping from about $299/mo, plus tax filing and CFO services. ExpenseGhost is $16/mo and drafts the same Schedule C.
Solopreneur's $20 plan won't let your accountant log in. That costs $38. ExpenseGhost is $16, and the tax-ready packet is on every plan.
