MYOB AccountRight Pricing Australia 2026: Plus vs Premier
Last verified 4 November 2026 against MYOB's own AccountRight Plus and Premier pricing pages. Affiliate disclosure: StackPick earns a commission if you sign up to MYOB through a link in this article. Pricing data is independent of that.
MYOB rebranded everything in 2022. AccountRight (also written MYOB Account Right) used to mean "the desktop accounting product"; now it just means "the higher tier of MYOB Business with more bundled features and no per-employee payroll fee". The result is a lot of small business owners landing on MYOB's site, hitting the AccountRight Plus price tag of $150 a month, and bouncing because they cannot tell if that is good value, terrible value, or whether they even need it.
The short version: AccountRight Plus at $150 per month starts making sense once you have around 20 or more employees on payroll, or you need full inventory plus job tracking. Below that, MYOB Business Pro at $63.64 a month plus $4.55 per employee is usually better value. AccountRight Premier at $190.91 a month adds multi-currency and multi-business and earns its keep only if you actually trade in foreign currencies or run separate legal entities. Prices on this page are ex GST, to match how Xero and QuickBooks are quoted here. MYOB's own pages show them with GST: Lite $35 a month or $315 a year, Pro $70, AccountRight Plus $165 and Premier $210, plus $5 per employee for payroll. An earlier version of this page treated those GST-inclusive figures as ex GST. Totals are worked from MYOB's figures, so adding the rounded amounts can differ by a few cents.
This page answers three questions in plain English: how much does AccountRight actually cost, whether to pick Plus or Premier, and the upgrade math from MYOB Business. All prices verified from MYOB's own product pages on 4 November 2026.

AccountRight pricing at a glance (November 2026)
MYOB AccountRight has two plans. Both run on web, desktop and mobile, both include unlimited payroll, and both come with priority phone support. The difference is multi-currency and multi-business handling.
| Plan | Standard monthly price | Promo (first 3 months) | Offer saving | Best for |
|---|---|---|---|---|
| AccountRight Plus | $150/month | $60/month (60% off) | Save $270 in the first 3 months | 15 to 50 employees, inventory, job tracking |
| AccountRight Premier | $190.91/month | $76.36/month (60% off) | Save $343.64 in the first 3 months | Multi-currency, multi-business, 35+ employees |
MYOB shows both plans on monthly billing first, but you can also pay yearly, and that is 25 percent cheaper. AccountRight Plus is $1,350 a year, which works out at $112.50 a month, and Premier is $1,718.18 a year, or $143.18 a month. MYOB's own page shows $1,485 and $1,890 with GST. An earlier version of this page put the saving at 16 percent, which was wrong.
The 60 percent off first three months promo is MYOB's standard new-customer offer and runs continuously on the Plus and Premier landing pages. There is no promo code to enter; the discount is automatically applied when you sign up directly from the product page. Yearly billing has its own offer instead of that one: 50 percent off the first 12 months. That makes the first year $675 on Plus, against $1,530 paying monthly, and $859.09 on Premier, against $1,947.27.

The thing that confuses people most is that AccountRight and MYOB Business are now two tiers of the same product family. They share the bank reconciliation engine, the BAS lodgement flow, the bank feeds, and the basic invoicing. AccountRight adds capability on top. Here is what you actually get for the price jump.
Unlimited employee payroll, included. MYOB Business Pro charges $4.55 per active employee per month on top of the $63.64 base. AccountRight Plus charges nothing extra for payroll, no matter how many people you pay. This is the single biggest pricing lever and the reason the upgrade math eventually flips, which we cover further down.
Full inventory and job tracking. MYOB Business has basic stock recording. AccountRight has full multi-warehouse inventory with cost layers, stock transfers between locations, and proper backorder handling. Job tracking lets you allocate every transaction (invoices, bills, payroll hours) to a job number and run profit reports per job. If you are running a trades or contracting business and want to know which jobs actually made money, this is the feature you upgrade for.
Real multi-user with role-based access. MYOB Business is single-user by design. If your bookkeeper, your office manager and your accountant all need access at the same time, you need AccountRight. The role permissions let you grant the bookkeeper full access, restrict the office manager to invoicing only, and give the accountant read-only audit access. Multi-user is one of the quieter reasons to upgrade but the team-coordination saving is real.
Time billing and proper professional services workflows. Time-and-materials invoicing, retainer tracking and WIP reporting all live in AccountRight, not MYOB Business. Consulting firms, architects, lawyers and digital agencies generally cannot run MYOB Business in production for this reason alone.
Priority support with phone access. AccountRight customers get a phone line with response time SLAs. MYOB Business customers go through chat and email queues. If you have ever had a payroll question 30 minutes before a pay run, phone support is not a luxury.
Desktop access in addition to web and mobile. AccountRight runs on a downloadable Windows desktop client in addition to the web and mobile apps. The desktop app is faster on large data files (above 500MB), but it no longer works offline: MYOB has moved AccountRight to online-only company files. MYOB Business is web and mobile only. Practitioners managing several MYOB files often prefer the desktop client for the speed alone.
A second business at no extra cost (Premier only). AccountRight Premier lets you run two separate businesses on one subscription. If you have a holding company and an operating company, that is a $150 a month saving over running two Plus subscriptions.
MYOB also sells an enterprise ERP called MYOB Acumatica, renamed from MYOB Advanced in 2025. It is a different product line, quote-only with no published price, and it is not an upgrade path most businesses on AccountRight will ever need. If you are comparing MYOB Acumatica against AccountRight, the short version is that AccountRight covers payroll and inventory for a single trading entity, and Acumatica starts where multi-entity consolidation and manufacturing requirements begin. Full pricing detail is on our MYOB pricing page.
AccountRight Plus vs Premier: which to pick
The gap between Plus and Premier is $45 a month, or $540 a year. Most businesses will not need Premier. Here is the side-by-side.
| Feature | AccountRight Plus ($150) | AccountRight Premier ($190.91) |
|---|---|---|
| Unlimited payroll | Yes | Yes |
| Full inventory + multi-warehouse | Yes | Yes |
| Job tracking and profitability reports | Yes | Yes |
| Time billing | Yes | Yes |
| Web, desktop and mobile access | Yes | Yes |
| Priority phone support | Yes | Yes |
| Multi-currency invoicing and bills | No | Yes |
| Multi-business (2 companies, one subscription) | No | Yes |
Stay on Plus if: you bill in Australian dollars only, you run a single legal entity, and none of your customers or suppliers are overseas. That covers the vast majority of Australian small and mid-sized businesses.
Upgrade to Premier if: you have overseas customers or suppliers and need to invoice or pay in their currency without round-tripping through a separate FX tool, OR you run two related businesses you want to keep on one subscription. If neither applies, the extra $540 a year buys nothing useful.
For multi-currency specifically, the alternative is paying a separate FX platform (Wise Business, Airwallex, OFX) on top of a Plus subscription. Those run anywhere from free with transaction fees to $25 a month for the business plan. By the time you add the convenience of having the foreign currency invoice live inside your accounting file instead of in a separate tab, Premier is competitive if you genuinely need it.
The honest read: most businesses upgrading from MYOB Business should pick Plus. Premier is a real niche product, and MYOB's own product page is fairly explicit that it is "for complex businesses managing multiple locations, jobs or currencies".
Should you upgrade from MYOB Business to AccountRight?
This is the question that brings most people to this page, so it gets the longest answer. The upgrade decision depends entirely on what plan you are on now and how many people you pay.
If you are on MYOB Business Lite ($31.82 a month): the only reason to look at AccountRight is if you have outgrown the 2-employee payroll cap. Lite caps payroll at 2 employees, with each paid employee charged at $5 a month. If you are about to hire your third person, you have two options. Move up to Business Pro ($63.64 plus $4.55 per employee) for unlimited payroll, or jump straight to AccountRight Plus if you also need inventory, job tracking or multi-user. Skip AccountRight if your needs are still just "do the books and pay a small team".
If you are on MYOB Business Pro ($63.64 a month plus $4.55 per employee): this is where the math gets interesting. Business Pro includes unlimited payroll, but charges $4.55 per active employee per month on top of the base. AccountRight Plus charges $150 flat with no per-employee fee. The crossover point is straightforward arithmetic.
Crossover math
Business Pro at $63.64 a month + 20 employees × $4.55 per employee payroll = $154.55 a month.
AccountRight Plus is $150 a month with unlimited payroll.
At 19 employees the two tie at $150. From 20 employees up, AccountRight Plus is the cheaper option on payroll alone, before you factor in any of the other features.
That said, very few businesses upgrade at exactly the crossover point. The features usually pull people across earlier. The most common pre-crossover triggers I see are:
- You need real inventory. If your stock count is going through Excel because Business cannot handle multi-location or backorders, you have already lost the upgrade decision. Bite the $150.
- You want job profitability reporting. Tradies, contractors and project-based businesses who actually want to see margin per job need AccountRight. Knowing which jobs lose money is worth more than the $86.36 monthly price difference, in most cases by a wide margin.
- You hit the multi-user wall. Once your bookkeeper, office manager and accountant are all stepping on each other in one Business file, multi-user is what you are buying. The team-time saving more than covers the upgrade.
- You are paying for a separate time billing tool. Time-tracking tools (Toggl, Harvest, Tick) run $10 to $25 per user per month. If you have 4 people tracking time and you bin the standalone tool by moving to AccountRight, the maths shifts.
When NOT to upgrade. The other side of this question matters just as much, because MYOB will happily sell you AccountRight before you actually need it. Stay on MYOB Business Pro if:
- You run a pure service business with no inventory and fewer than 20 employees. The features you are paying for are wasted.
- You do not need job tracking or multi-user access today and have no plan to add either in the next 12 months.
- You are a sole trader or 2 to 3 person operation where the $150 a month is a meaningful percentage of monthly software spend. Stay on Lite or Pro, and revisit when growth forces the conversation.
Migration in either direction is handled by MYOB. You can move from Business to AccountRight and back without re-keying data, though downgrading from AccountRight to Business does drop the AccountRight-only feature data (job tracking history, time billing records, multi-user permissions). MYOB walks you through the conversion in the account portal, and there is no fee for switching tiers.
Real total cost by team size
The crossover math above is theoretical. Here is what three realistic Australian businesses actually pay at standard pricing, comparing AccountRight Plus against MYOB Business Pro on like-for-like grounds.
| Business | Employees | MYOB Business Pro monthly | AccountRight Plus monthly | Cheaper option |
|---|---|---|---|---|
| 5-person tradie business | 5 | $63.64 + (5 × $4.55) = $86.36 | $150 | Business Pro is $63.64/mo cheaper |
| 15-person professional services firm | 15 | $63.64 + (15 × $4.55) = $131.82 | $150 | Business Pro is $18.18/mo cheaper |
| 35-person growing business | 35 | $63.64 + (35 × $4.55) = $222.73 | $150 | AccountRight Plus is $72.73/mo cheaper |
5-person tradie. Business Pro wins on pure payroll cost. But job tracking might justify the AccountRight upgrade if knowing job-by-job margin is worth $64 a month. For most tradies still in the manual-spreadsheet job-costing era, it usually is.
15-person professional services. Business Pro is still cheaper by $18.18 a month, but AccountRight Plus delivers time billing and proper multi-user access. A professional services firm at this size paying for a separate time tracking tool plus juggling user access in Business is almost always better off on AccountRight Plus despite the $18.18 monthly premium.
35-person business. AccountRight Plus is now cheaper AND better. There is no scenario where staying on Business Pro makes sense once you pass 20 employees, except a short-term cash crunch.

How much is MYOB AccountRight Plus per month?
AccountRight Plus is $150 per month at standard pricing. MYOB runs a continuous 60 percent off introductory offer which drops the first three months to $60 per month. Paying yearly costs $1,350 a year, 25 percent less than paying monthly. All prices include payroll for unlimited employees.
How much is MYOB AccountRight Premier?
AccountRight Premier is $190.91 per month at standard pricing. The same 60 percent off introductory offer drops the first three months to $76.36 per month. Paying yearly costs $1,718.18 a year, 25 percent less than paying monthly. Premier adds multi-currency invoicing and the ability to run two separate businesses on one subscription, both unavailable on Plus.
What is the difference between MYOB AccountRight and MYOB Business?
AccountRight is the higher tier under the MYOB Business umbrella since the 2022 rebrand. The two share bank feeds, BAS lodgement and basic invoicing. AccountRight adds unlimited employee payroll (no $4.55 per employee fee), full inventory, job tracking, time billing, multi-user access with role permissions, and priority phone support. MYOB Business is web and mobile only; AccountRight also runs on a Windows desktop client.
Is MYOB AccountRight cheaper than Xero?
Not at single-user or small teams. Xero Ignite is $37 per month and Grow is $78. The mid-tier plan is $107 per month and Ultimate 10 is $143. AccountRight Plus at $150 looks expensive against any of those at first glance. The maths flips once payroll headcount grows, because Xero makes you move up a payroll tier as headcount grows while AccountRight Plus includes unlimited payroll at a flat price. From 11 employees on payroll, where Xero moves to Ultimate 20 at $180, AccountRight starts winning on price, and beyond 30 employees it is meaningfully cheaper than Xero.
Can I downgrade from AccountRight to MYOB Business?
Yes. MYOB lets you switch tiers in either direction through the account portal at no fee. Upgrading from Business to AccountRight carries all your existing data across. Downgrading from AccountRight to Business preserves the core accounting data (transactions, contacts, BAS records) but drops AccountRight-only data (job tracking history, time billing records, multi-user role permissions). MYOB handles the conversion automatically.
Does MYOB AccountRight include payroll?
Yes. Both Plus and Premier include payroll for unlimited employees at no additional cost. There is no per-employee fee on either AccountRight tier. This is the single biggest difference from MYOB Business Pro, which charges $4.55 per active employee per month on top of the $63.64 base price.
Is MYOB AccountRight desktop or cloud?
Both. AccountRight runs on a downloadable Windows desktop client, a web app at app.myob.com, and the MYOB mobile app, all sharing the same data file. The desktop client tends to be faster on large company files (above 500MB). None of the three works offline any more; MYOB now requires company files to be online. Most practitioners use a mix: desktop for heavy admin work, web for everyday transactions, mobile for receipt capture and quick checks.
What is included in MYOB Business Pro vs AccountRight?
MYOB Business Pro is $63.64 a month and adds $4.55 per active employee per month for payroll, with no cap on headcount. AccountRight Plus is $150 a month with unlimited payroll included, so there is no per-employee fee at all. Beyond payroll, AccountRight Plus adds multi-location inventory, job costing and time billing, and a downloadable Windows desktop client that handles large company files. Business Pro is browser-based. On cost alone the crossover sits at 20 employees: Business Pro at $63.64 plus 20 employees at $4.55 each is $154.55 a month, against the $150 AccountRight Plus charges flat.
Final verdict on MYOB AccountRight pricing
For sole traders and small businesses under about 15 employees: MYOB Business Pro at $63.64 plus $4.55 per employee is better value. AccountRight Plus is overkill unless you specifically need inventory or job tracking. Save the monthly difference, which is $63.64 at five staff, and revisit when growth pushes you past the crossover.
For 15 to 35 employee businesses with inventory, job tracking or multi-user access needs: AccountRight Plus at $150 is the right call. The unlimited payroll headroom alone is worth it once you start hiring through that band, and the feature set genuinely earns the upgrade. Star rating: 4.0 out of 5. Good product, fairly priced for what it does, knocked down half a star against Xero on UI polish and learning curve.
For multi-currency businesses, multi-entity operators or 35+ employee businesses: AccountRight Premier at $190.91 is the only MYOB tier that makes sense. The $45 a month over Plus is cheap insurance against the cost of stitching multi-currency in via a separate FX platform.
If you are still on the fence, the 60 percent off first three months promo turns AccountRight Plus into a $60 a month decision for the trial period. That is enough runway to actually use the features, see whether they pay back, and downgrade to MYOB Business or switch to Xero if they do not.
Try AccountRight Plus on the 60% off promo
Three months of AccountRight Plus at $60 a month instead of $150 gives you a real trial window. The promo is applied automatically at sign-up; no code required.
