MYOB head-to-head comparisons
Common questions about MYOB
The same questions Australian merchants ask before signing up.
MYOB Business starts at $26/mo (Lite) for the Lite plan, which includes GST and BAS lodgement, unlimited invoicing, and two bank feeds. The Pro plan is $47/mo (Pro), and the AccountRight Plus plan is $150/mo (AccountRight) and adds full inventory and job tracking. All plans are monthly with no lock-in contract.
On the Lite and Pro plans, payroll is available as an add-on at $2/emp/mo (Lite/Pro) per employee per month. On the AccountRight plans, payroll is included at no extra charge. If you run payroll for several staff on a lower plan, it is worth calculating whether moving to AccountRight is more cost-effective overall.
The Lite plan includes 1 (Lite) user. The Pro plan includes two users, and AccountRight plans include three or more. Additional users beyond the plan allowance require an upgrade to the next tier.
Yes. MYOB supports direct BAS and IAS lodgement through its integrated ATO connection. All plans include GST tracking, and STP Phase 2 payroll reporting is supported across the range.
MYOB and Xero are both strong choices for Australian compliance. MYOB is particularly well regarded for complex Award-rate payroll, inventory on AccountRight, and businesses that want locally based support. Xero tends to have a larger third-party app ecosystem and includes payroll for all employees on every plan. The better fit depends on your industry, team size, and existing software stack.
MYOB offers a free trial period on its plans so you can test the software before committing. No lock-in contract applies, and you can cancel at any time after the trial ends.
Multi-currency is available on the AccountRight Premier plan. Lower plans (Lite, Pro, and AccountRight Plus) do not include multi-currency support, so businesses trading in foreign currencies need to factor in the higher plan cost.
