A2X Pricing vs Link My Books Pricing: Both Published Ladders Compared at Every Order Volume

The short answer: at every matched order volume we checked, Link My Books came out cheaper than A2X, and the gap widens as you add sales channels. A2X starts at US$29 a month per channel and prices each channel on its own ladder, so a seller on Shopify and Amazon runs two subscriptions or moves to a multi-channel plan from US$89. Link My Books has no named plans at all: one price covers every channel you connect, driven by total monthly orders, and it starts at $20 a month in USD. A2X earns the premium in three places, NetSuite support, included one-to-one onboarding, and a subledger product for high-volume brands, and those are real reasons to pay more. Neither tool reconciles a bank or credit card statement.

A2X pricing vs Link My Books pricing at a glance

How much does A2X cost?

A2X publishes a separate ladder for every sales channel, and the number you see on the front of the pricing page, US$29 a month, is the smallest tier of a single channel. Two things move you up the bill at once: growing inside a channel pushes you up that channel's ladder, and adding a second storefront starts a second ladder or forces you onto a multi-channel plan.

A2X for Shopify, single store

A2X for Amazon, single merchant ID

A2X Multi-channel, when you sell in more than one place

Notice that the Amazon and Shopify ladders are not identical even though the price points look similar. Amazon's Standard tier carries 5,000 orders for US$79 where Shopify's Professional tier carries 2,000 for the same money. If you sell on both, price each one separately against its own busiest month, then compare that total against the multi-channel plan that covers your combined volume. Sellers routinely budget off the US$29 headline and get a bill three times that size.

How much does Link My Books cost?

Link My Books does publish its prices, but not as a table. Its pricing page runs a calculator, and the output depends on three inputs: total monthly orders across every channel, how many channels you connect, and whether you are paying in GBP, USD or AUD. There are no plan names to memorize. Here is the USD ladder as the calculator returned it on August 31, 2026.

Link My Books, one sales channel

Link My Books, ten sales channels

The ladder keeps going well past most sellers, to $886 a month at 250,000 orders and $1,375 at 750,000, both across ten channels. One quirk worth knowing: the channel count also decides how much trading history is included when you sign up, from 3 months on a single channel up to 24 months on ten. If you need to rebuild a prior year, connecting more channels is what unlocks the history, not a higher price tier.

Which one is cheaper at your order volume?

This is the comparison most pricing pages avoid, because it requires reading both ladders at the same volume rather than quoting two starting prices. Here it is, using each vendor's published figures.

Link My Books is cheaper on every line, and the gap grows with channel count because A2X prices channels as separate products while Link My Books folds them into one bill. If price is the only variable you care about, the comparison ends here. It usually is not the only variable.

Where A2X is worth paying more for

Three differences justify the premium, and if any of them applies to you the cheaper tool is the wrong purchase.

NetSuite. A2X connects to NetSuite as well as QuickBooks Online and Xero. Link My Books connects to QuickBooks Online and Xero only. Ecommerce brands that outgrow QuickBooks Online usually land on NetSuite, and on the day you migrate a connector that does not speak NetSuite becomes a project to replace. If NetSuite is on your roadmap inside two years, that single row outweighs the monthly difference.

Onboarding. Every A2X plan includes a 30 minute one-to-one session covering settings, account mappings and your first reconciliation, and Premium plans get a tailored 60 minute session. The mapping step is where ecommerce connectors go wrong: send fees to the wrong account once and you carry the error for twelve months. If nobody on your side has set one of these up before, an included session with someone who has is worth more than $50 a month.

Volume and depth. A2X sells two products beyond the core connector: Subledger, for order-to-cash reconciliation at brands whose volume makes summary journals too coarse, and Clarity, for profitability analytics. Link My Books includes profit by channel and benchmarking in the base price, which covers most sellers, but there is no equivalent to a full order-to-cash subledger. If you are large enough to need one, price A2X.

One more thing neither tool does well enough to lean on: blending marketing cost with channel profit. Both will tell you what a channel sold and what it cost you in platform fees. Neither knows what you spent to acquire the order, so if you are judging channels on contribution margin you will want to pull ad spend and store revenue into one dashboard alongside whichever connector you buy.

What neither A2X nor Link My Books does

Both tools solve the same narrow problem, which is turning marketplace settlements into correct journal entries so your revenue, fees and taxes land in the right accounts and the payout on your bank statement clears cleanly. That is genuinely useful and it is not reconciliation of your books.

Once the settlements post, everything else on the bank statement is still unexplained: ACH batches that arrive as one line covering a dozen invoices, wires, transfers between your own accounts that look like income on one side, corporate card spend nobody has coded, payroll, loan draws, and processor activity from channels you never connected. Those are the lines that keep a close open past day five, and no channel connector can see them, because none of them started as an order. That work belongs to ecommerce payment reconciliation software reading the whole ledger against the bank, the cards and the processors.

If you want the same comparison from the other direction, the switching case for each tool is on A2X alternatives and Link My Books alternatives, and every published price in the wider category, including Webgility, Synder and Bookkeep, is collected in ecommerce accounting software pricing.

Is A2X worth it for a small Shopify store?

For a store under about 500 orders a month, A2X Mini at US$29 or Basic at US$45 buys you correct summary journals and an onboarding session, against Link My Books at $24 to $35 for the same volume. The price difference is $5 to $10 a month, which is not a decision. Choose on the ledger you use and on whether you want somebody to walk you through the account mappings. At this size the real alternative to both is doing it by hand, and that is the comparison worth running: an hour a month of untangling a Shopify payout costs more than either subscription.

Does Link My Books work with NetSuite or QuickBooks Desktop?

No. Link My Books publishes support for Xero, in all regions except Cashbook, and QuickBooks Online. There is no NetSuite connection, no Sage Intacct and no QuickBooks Desktop. A2X supports QuickBooks Online, Xero and NetSuite. If you are on QuickBooks Desktop, neither of these two is your answer and you should be looking at Webgility, which publishes a separate Desktop ladder.

Can I switch from A2X to Link My Books without breaking last year's books?

Yes, and the clean way is to switch at a period boundary rather than mid-month. Close and lock the last period on the old connector, then start the new one from the first settlement of the new period so no settlement gets posted twice. Watch the historical data limit when you sign up: Link My Books includes 3 months of history on a single channel and up to 24 on ten channels, so if you need to restate a prior year, check what your channel count actually unlocks before you migrate. Keep both subscriptions running for one overlapping month and compare the journals line by line.

Do A2X or Link My Books file sales tax for me?

Neither one files. Both calculate and allocate tax on the settlements they process and post those amounts into your ledger, which is the accounting half of the job. Filing a state return, registering for economic nexus and remitting is a separate product, normally Avalara or TaxJar. Link My Books came out of a VAT-first market, so its tax language leans European even on US accounts, and A2X publishes separate sales tax and VAT workflows. For a US seller the practical test is whether the tax amounts land in accounts your filing preparer can actually use, so ask them before you choose.

How many sales channels should I actually connect?

Connect the ones that move real money, and be deliberate about it, because channel count is a pricing lever on both tools. On A2X each channel is either its own subscription or the thing that pushes you up a multi-channel tier. On Link My Books channel count raises the whole bill and simultaneously increases the history included. A dormant Etsy shop doing thirty orders a year is not worth either. Book those by hand once a quarter and keep the connector pointed at the channels that make up the bulk of your revenue.

The bottom line

Link My Books is cheaper at every volume we compared, and materially cheaper once you are past two channels. A2X is worth the difference if you need NetSuite, if you want an included onboarding session, or if you are large enough for its subledger product. Both stop at the same place: they explain one revenue stream, and the rest of the general ledger still has to be tied out against the bank, the cards and the processors every month.
