Bokeping

Bokeping is a small-business bookkeeping service that combines accounting records, billing and product-inventory controls in a web and API package. It is best suited to owners and teams that need bank-connected books and sales-tax or stock tracking without payroll administration. The main trade-off is a 10-user ceiling and no tax-filing or payroll capability.

Overview

Bokeping brings invoices, bills, bank transactions and financial reports into one workspace. Financial statements, a general ledger, cash-position views, and inflow/outflow tracking give owners more than a simple list of transactions. Inventory and cost-of-goods-sold tracking make it particularly relevant to businesses that sell physical products.

Invoices support card or bank payments and automatic reminders. Stripe and Forte are the stated payment routes, and their provider fees apply. Plaid connects the service to thousands of US banks and card accounts through read-only feeds; credentials are entered with Plaid rather than stored on Bokeping’s servers, and connections can be disconnected. CSV imports cover spreadsheet data, while QBO imports can bring in QuickBooks history.

Bokeping says data is encrypted in transit and at rest, is not sold or used for advertising, and can be exported or deleted by the customer. Every plan includes two external accountant logins outside the plan’s user count. Email and chat support is included across plans, with human replies targeted within one business day; Pro receives queue priority. Stated availability targets are 99.9% for the web app and API and 99.5% for bank-feed synchronization and webhooks.

Key features

• Bookkeeping and reporting: The general ledger and financial statements support regular close and review work, while cash and inflow/outflow views help owners monitor liquidity.
• Invoicing: Professional invoices, online payment acceptance and automated reminders reduce routine follow-up, although payment processing adds the providers’ fees.
• Bank connections and imports: Plaid feeds reduce manual entry for US accounts, and CSV/QBO imports provide practical migration paths from spreadsheets or QuickBooks.
• Inventory accounting: Stock, purchase orders, advanced inventory on Pro, and cost-of-goods-sold tracking extend the product beyond service-only bookkeeping.
• Accountant collaboration: Two outside accountant accounts on every tier are useful for review or preparation without consuming paid seats.

Pricing

Plan	Price	What you get
Free	0.00 USD, free forever	1 user; 20 sales records and 20 purchase records per month; CSV bank import; financial statements; accountant access
Standard	29.00 USD/month or $290/year	Up to 3 users; automatic bank feeds; unlimited invoices, bills and expenses; sales-tax tracking; inventory and purchase orders
Pro	59.00 USD/month or $590/year	Up to 10 users; roles and permissions; multiple stores and warehouses; advanced inventory; priority support

The free tier fits an owner doing their own books or a new business that can stay within 20 sales and 20 purchase records each month. It gives up automatic feeds and the broader operational controls of paid plans. Standard is the sensible tier for most small businesses: its unlimited billing records, live feeds, sales-tax tools and purchasing controls remove the free plan’s main bottlenecks. Pro earns its higher price for growing teams that need permission management, several locations or deeper inventory work. Annual billing lowers the effective monthly rate to about $23 for Standard and about $49 for Pro; more than 10 users requires contacting Bokeping for a larger arrangement.

Platforms

Bokeping runs on the web and provides an API. That suits browser-based bookkeeping and integrations, but no native Android or iOS application is identified.

Who it's for

Choose Bokeping if you run a small US business and want bookkeeping, invoicing, bank feeds, sales tax and inventory in one system, with room for accountant collaboration. Standard fits a conventional small company; Pro fits a team operating multiple stores or warehouses. It is a poor match for employers needing payroll or businesses expecting the software to file taxes.

Pros and cons

Pros

• Combines financial statements, ledger, invoicing, bank feeds and inventory accounting.
• Read-only Plaid connections and customer export/deletion controls reduce credential and portability concerns.
• Two external accountant logins are included on every plan.
• Standard and Pro remove the free tier’s record cap and add progressively stronger team and inventory controls.

Cons

• The free plan is restricted to one user and 20 sales plus 20 purchase records per month.
• Payroll and tax filing are outside the product.
• Native mobile apps are not identified; access is web and API based.
• Invoice payment providers charge their own fees, and teams above 10 users must arrange a larger plan.

Alternatives

Cash Flow Management Software is the broader category to explore when cash visibility matters more than full bookkeeping and inventory.

• Caflou is a freemium option with Android, iOS, web and API coverage if mobile access is important.
• onbalance is a free Android/iOS choice with no paid tiers stated.
• Cash Pocket is free across Android, iOS and web with no subscriptions or in-app purchases stated.
• Bankflow suits document-volume workflows, offering a one-time 50-credit free plan and a $14.99 monthly 300-credit Starter plan.
• Trezy is a web freemium alternative with a one-bank-account free tier and AI categorization.
• BankSummary offers a web free plan for up to two accounts and a free trial.
• Cashvue is free during its public beta.
• Statement is a paid web alternative.

Verdict

Bokeping is a strong choice for a small product-selling business that wants bank-connected bookkeeping, invoicing and inventory without stitching together separate tools. Pick Standard or Pro when record limits, team access or multi-location stock make the free tier impractical. Look elsewhere if payroll, tax filing, native mobile apps or more than 10 users are essential.
