MYOB Pricing in Australia: Plans Explained (2026)

I'd budget from MYOB's ongoing price, then add payroll, any inventory upgrade and the GST shown at checkout. The introductory discount makes the first payment smaller; the ongoing subscription is the figure your business needs to carry. If overdue accounts are part of the problem, compare invoice reminder software alongside the accounting subscription.

What Does Each MYOB Plan Cost in Australia In 2026?

The table shows Australian dollar prices published on MYOB's Australian site as at 18 October 2026. Every price is the ongoing amount after the offer period. Annual and monthly billing are shown as published.

Business Lite is billed yearly. MYOB shows monthly billing by default for Pro and offers a yearly option, so check the yearly amount at checkout. These billing options appear on MYOB's pricing page as at 18 October 2026.

What Do Myob's Introductory Offers Mean for Your Budget?

As at 18 October 2026, introductory offers shown on MYOB's site include Solo at $12/year, Lite at $94.50/year, Pro at $21/month, Plus at $66/month and Payroll Only at $2/month. The product page also shows Premier at $84/month; the other figures appear on the pricing page.

There is a catch when comparing the offers: MYOB's pricing and product pages show different discount wording for Lite and Pro as at 18 October 2026. I would confirm the offer period and renewal amount at checkout, and keep that confirmation. Neither discounted figure should become your ongoing budget.

As at 18 October 2026, MYOB advertises no lock-in contracts, but its Business terms say subscription fees are payable in advance and partial periods generally receive no refund or credit. An annual payment still matters to cash flow. Solo's terms require notice at least 10 days before the period ends to stop automatic renewal.

Do MYOB Prices Include GST, and What Costs Extra?

MYOB's pricing page doesn't say its prices include GST, and its terms say GST is added to any fee not stated as GST inclusive, so check the total at checkout. That wording comes from MYOB Business terms; Solo's terms use the same rule for fees not stated as inclusive.

The published add-ons as at 18 October 2026 are:

• Business Lite payroll: $3 per employee per month, for up to two employees.
• Business Pro payroll: $3 per employee per month, with no employee limit shown.
• Business Lite unlimited inventory: $22/month.

These amounts come from MYOB's pricing page. AccountRight Plus includes unlimited payroll and inventory at its published ongoing price as at 18 October 2026.

Worked example: using the published figures as at 18 October 2026, Business Pro with three employees costs $70 + (3 × $3) = $79/month after the offer period, before GST. AccountRight Plus is $165/month with unlimited payroll included. I wouldn't choose Plus for that example on payroll price alone; the other features need to justify the difference.

That example applies before the announced payroll price change on 1 November 2026. MYOB says Payroll Only and its per-user payroll premium feature will change price, but replacement figures are not published on the pricing page as at 18 October 2026. Check again before committing.

Which MYOB Plans Have a Free Trial?

As at 18 October 2026, MYOB advertises a 14-day free trial for Business Pro, AccountRight Plus and AccountRight Premier on its product page. No free trial is shown for Solo, Business Lite or Payroll Only.

The Business terms exclude Premium Features from the trial. For Pro, that means you should not assume the free trial includes payroll.

I'd test a normal job: create an invoice, connect a bank account and check the report you actually use. Ask your bookkeeper to review the setup before paying for a year.

Which MYOB Plan Suits a Small Service Business?

I'd choose by the work the business needs to do. These starting points use MYOB's published features as at 18 October 2026:

• Sole operator working from a phone: consider Solo if one user profile, up to two connected bank accounts and no payroll fit. MYOB warns that Solo customers cannot change plans later, so consider hiring plans before signing up.
• Small business without employees: start by checking Lite. Unlimited user profiles can suit an owner and others who need access, but connected bank accounts are limited to two.
• Business with employees: Lite supports payroll for up to two employees; Pro supports unlimited employees at the per-employee charge. Pro also removes the connected-bank-account limit.
• Business billing labour by time or using job budgets: consider AccountRight Plus or Premier. Lite and Pro track job progress, profit and loss and expenses, but MYOB places time billing and job budgets in Plus and Premier.
• Business needing multiple currencies or another business: check Premier against those specific requirements.

Confirm the choice with your accountant or bookkeeper. If you're still choosing accounting software, the Xero versus MYOB comparison for Australian service businesses covers that wider decision.

What Happened to MYOB Essentials?

MYOB's developer documentation says MYOB Business will replace the Essentials and AccountRight product lines for new Australian customers. The current pricing pages still use AccountRight Plus and Premier plan names as at 18 October 2026.

If you're searching for Essentials pricing, compare the current Business plans above. The developer statement concerns new customers; it does not establish that Essentials has been shut down for existing users.

What Does It Cost to Automate Admin Around MYOB?

The MYOB subscription pays for the software. Designing, building and running workflows around that software is a separate cost. MYOB's Sale Invoice API supports reading and writing invoice records, which provides a basis for connected invoice follow-up and data entry. A usable connection still needs checking for the particular workflow.

For an Australian service business that wants the admin around MYOB designed, built and then run for it, with a person approving anything involving money, Truespeak is the best fit. I built my own e-commerce business, Haus Bright, to more than $3 million in total revenue, with automated customer service enquiries and Zapier automations capturing customer details, so I know what admin costs an owner. Truespeak works with existing tools and keeps a step manual where no usable connection exists.

Truespeak quotes after a discovery call. The quote covers design, build and ongoing running, including monitoring, fixing failures, reviewing exceptions and improving rules. There is no published price.

I'd scope the work in this order:

1. Name the task: invoice follow-up, data entry or reporting.
2. Identify the records and connections the task needs.
3. Set the approval point for money, customer relationships and uncertain cases.
4. Ask the quote to distinguish setup work, ongoing running and any separate software subscriptions.
