Patriot pricing
What Patriot's accounting plans cost, how the optional payroll and bookkeeping add to the bill, and why the value pitch holds up for small US businesses.
Patriot keeps pricing refreshingly plain. Its accounting software comes in two tiers: Accounting Basic and Accounting Premium, both flat monthly fees with unlimited customers, invoices, vendors and users, which is unusual at this price. Premium adds estimates, recurring invoices, user based permissions, receipt management and subaccounts. Where the bill grows is the rest of the Patriot suite: payroll is a separate product priced per worker, and a hands on bookkeeping service sits above the software. The figures below are list rates as of June 2026; Patriot runs a standing promotion of thirty days free plus fifty percent off for six months, so early months cost less. Check the vendor for current pricing.

Patriot pricing FAQ

As of June 2026, Patriot Accounting Basic is $20 a month and Accounting Premium is $30 a month, both flat fees with unlimited users, invoices and vendors. Patriot runs a standing promotion of thirty days free plus fifty percent off for six months, so the early months cost less. Check the vendor for current pricing.
What is the difference between Patriot Basic and Premium?
Both include unlimited customers, invoices, vendors and users plus bank imports and reporting. Premium adds estimates, recurring invoices, user based permissions, receipt and document management, and subaccounts. The gap is ten dollars a month, so Premium is worth it if you send repeat invoices or need to control user access.
Is Patriot payroll included in the accounting price?
No. Payroll is a separate Patriot product. Basic Payroll starts at $17 a month plus $4 per worker paid, and Full Service Payroll, which files and deposits your payroll taxes, starts at $37 a month plus $5 per worker. The two products integrate, but you subscribe to each one separately.
Does Patriot offer a free trial or discount?
Patriot runs a standing promotion of thirty days free plus fifty percent off for the first six months across its products, rather than a permanently free plan. After the promotional period, the flat list rates apply. Confirm the current offer on the vendor site, since promotions change.
