What Checkrun is
Checkrun is a cloud payment platform and mobile app for businesses and accounting firms to handle business bills, from approval through payment tracking. Vendors can be paid by paper check or ACH bank transfer, with remittance advice for electronic payments. The service syncs payment information with QuickBooks Online in both directions in real time, and payment activity and check images can be attached to QuickBooks payments for reference. Teams can create approval workflows, roles, and permissions; users can approve payments and sign checks in the mobile app. Checks can be printed locally on existing, preprinted, or blank stock, or sent through the Print and Mail service. Checkrun also generates Positive Pay files for more than 200 bank formats. It is available on Android, iOS, and the web. The Business subscription costs $50 a month, billed monthly, plus a $199 one-time implementation fee. Local check printing and ACH file export cost $0.35 per payment, while Print and Mail costs $1.95 per check. A 15-day trial is available; full-layout checks and Print and Mail are excluded during that period.
