Paid plans start at $19/mo. There's also a free plan.
We can’t confirm GoCo’s current price from the published information. The pricing grid lists QuickBooks Free, Simple Start, Essentials, Plus and Advanced—not GoCo plans—so its $0 starting price and paid tiers should not be treated as GoCo pricing. GoCo is described as HR and team management software, with payroll, time tracking and HR workflows. Its price, plan limits and payroll add-on cost are not published here. Treat any GoCo cost estimate as unverified until the vendor confirms it.

02What the plan grid doesn't tell you
Wrong product’s price grid
The listed $0–$170 monthly tiers are named QuickBooks plans, not GoCo plans. They do not establish GoCo’s price.
Payroll add-on price
Optional payroll is listed, but its price is not published. The published information does not confirm the cost for GoCo customers.
ACH transaction fees
The grid lists $0.50 per standard ACH transaction over monthly allotments; the allotments may vary and are not specified.
Annual billing amount
The grid says annual billing saves 10%, but gives no annual prices. It also lists a 50% discount for three months on paid tiers.
03Which plan should you buy?
| If you are… | Get | Why |
|---|---|---|
| Checking the free option | QuickBooks Free | The published grid lists it at $0 per month, but it is not identified as a GoCo plan. |
| Comparing smaller paid tiers | Simple Start | The grid lists $19 per month, then $38 after three months; this is QuickBooks pricing, not verified GoCo pricing. |
| Checking higher user limits | Advanced | The grid lists 25 users at $170 per month, then $340 after three months. It does not establish a GoCo tier. |
04Is GoCo worth the money?
GoCo is described as a plausible HR toolkit, but the published price grid does not show GoCo plans or limits. That makes a cost comparison with other HR software impossible from this information. Payroll is listed as optional, with no price published, and the ACH fee has variable allotments. We would not use the QuickBooks prices as a GoCo quote. Ask GoCo for current pricing, included users and payroll costs before comparing or switching.
GoCo pricing FAQ
Who bought GoCo?
The published information says GoCo is now part of Intuit and that existing customers can continue using GoCo as before. It does not provide an acquisition date or purchase terms, so we can’t confirm those details here.
Is GoCo legit?
The published information describes GoCo as HR and team management software for small and mid-sized businesses, and says it is now part of Intuit. That does not independently establish service quality or suitability; check current terms and product details with the vendor.
How do I create a GoCo account?
The published information does not explain GoCo’s sign-up process or provide account-creation steps. It also does not confirm whether new accounts are currently available. Check GoCo’s website or contact the company for current instructions.
What is GoCo used for?
GoCo is described as HR and team management software for small and mid-sized businesses. Its listed capabilities include HR workflows, employee information, payroll, time tracking and team management; Intuit also plans continued investment in onboarding, compliance, benefits and performance workflows.
