Transaction Pro Importer Pricing for QuickBooks Bookkeepers
No account needed for your first 3 conversions. We never store your bank login.
Short answer: Transaction Pro Importer costs $199 once per user for the Desktop Importer or $299 once per user for the Importer, Exporter and Deleter PRO edition, with email support at $99 a year after the first year. The Online edition for QuickBooks Online is $13 a month (Essentials, 200 rows a month, one company), $39 a month (Growth, three companies) or $61 a month (Premium, five companies), or $120, $350 and $570 a year. If your actual job is turning bank and credit card CSV files into something QuickBooks accepts, a .qbo converter at $24.50 a month on yearly billing is a different purchase, and this page shows when each one pays off.
Transaction Pro is sold by Rightworks and is a general import tool: it writes invoices, bills, checks, journal entries, customers, vendors and items into QuickBooks, and bank transactions are one record type among many. That breadth is the reason people buy it, and also the reason a bookkeeper who only handles bank files can end up paying for features that never get opened. The figures below come from the Rightworks pricing page, read in October 2026. Prices move, so confirm the current number before you buy.
Transaction Pro pricing at a glance
| Edition | Monthly | Yearly or one-time | Companies | Import limit |
|---|---|---|---|---|
| Online Essentials | $13 | $120 a year | 1 | 200 rows of data per month |
| Online Growth | $39 | $350 a year | 3 | Unlimited |
| Online Premium | $61 | $570 a year | 5 | Unlimited |
| Desktop Importer | None | $199 one time per user | Unlimited company files | Unlimited records |
| Desktop Importer, Exporter and Deleter PRO | None | $299 one time per user | Unlimited company files | Unlimited records, plus export and delete |
All Online plans list unlimited users, an admin portal and chat, phone and email support, with updates available while the subscription is active. The Desktop editions include online chat and phone support and one year of email support, then $99 a year. The page states no trial or refund terms, so ask Rightworks before you pay if that matters to you.
What does Transaction Pro Importer really cost over three years?
The one-time price is the headline, but the email support fee turns it into a small annual cost. For a single user who wants email support kept active, the Desktop Importer costs $199 in year one, $298 by the end of year two and $397 by the end of year three. The PRO edition costs $299, then $398, then $497. Skip the support renewal and the license stays yours, which is the real attraction for a bookkeeper on one machine who rarely needs help.
The Online side adds up the other way. Essentials is $120 a year but caps you at 200 rows a month for a single company, which one busy business checking account can exceed on its own. Growth at $350 a year and Premium at $570 a year remove the row cap and add companies, so a firm with four or five client files lands on Premium, roughly $1,710 over three years.
Transaction Pro or a CSV to QBO converter, how to decide
The question is what you are putting into QuickBooks. If it is invoices, bills, journal entries, item lists or a one-time migration from another system, Transaction Pro or a similar importer is the right category and a .qbo converter will not do the job. If it is bank and credit card activity that arrives as a CSV or Excel export, the two tools work differently. Transaction Pro pushes rows straight into the company file. A converter produces a .qbo file that you import through the bank feed screen, review row by row, and match against existing transactions before anything is posted.
That review step is why many bookkeepers prefer a file over a direct push for bank data. Matching and categorization rules, the duplicate check and the ability to exclude a row all happen in the normal QuickBooks flow. It is also the only way into QuickBooks Desktop with a bank CSV, since Desktop has no bank CSV import of its own and accepts only .qbo Web Connect files or IIF.
How much does csvqbo cost next to Transaction Pro?
| Plan | Monthly | Yearly billing | What you get |
|---|---|---|---|
| Free trial | $0 | $0 | 3 conversions with no account, 3 more with a free account, watermarked |
| Starter | $49 | $24.50 a month ($294 a year) | 100 conversions a month, automatic column mapping, opening and closing balances, one seat |
| Plus | $149 | $74.50 a month ($894 a year) | 500 conversions, QFX, OFX, QIF and IIF export, unique transaction IDs, history |
| Pro | $499 | $249.50 a month ($2,994 a year) | Unlimited conversions, API access, priority support |
On raw price Transaction Pro wins for a lone bookkeeper: $199 once is less than one year of Starter at $294. Be honest about that. The comparison flips when you count what each purchase covers. A conversion in csvqbo is one file, so a firm closing eight clients a month with two accounts each uses 16 of Starter's 100 conversions, and the unique transaction IDs on Plus stop QuickBooks from importing the same row twice when a client sends an overlapping date range. Transaction Pro's Online plans meter by company or rows, not by statement.
When Transaction Pro is the better buy
Choose it when you load more than bank files. Invoice imports, vendor and item lists, journal entries from a payroll provider and bulk edits all sit outside what a bank file converter does. Choose it too if you work in Desktop on one Windows machine, rarely call support, and want a one-time license. For that profile the converter is a second tool, not a replacement.
When a CSV to QBO converter is the better buy
Choose a converter when the recurring work is monthly bank and card activity for several clients, when you want the review step in the bank feed, when you work on a Mac or a locked-down machine where nothing can be installed, or when the same file has to reach both QuickBooks Online and Desktop. You also avoid a per-company ceiling, which matters on multiple company files, and the accountant workflow is covered on the CSV to QBO converter for accountants page. If you still have to open a client's statement as a PDF first, a tool that reads PDF statements into a QBO file handles that step, and the CSV route here takes over when the bank offers a spreadsheet download.
What about the 200 row monthly cap on Essentials?
Essentials counts rows of data per month, and one company with a card feed, a checking account and a merchant processor can pass 200 rows in a single month. When that happens you move to Growth at $350 a year, which is more than a year of Starter billed yearly. Count your busiest client month before you pick the cheapest tier.
Can I test before paying?
Yes on our side. Upload a real CSV at the top of this page and check three things in the result: dates read in US order, money out is negative, and the totals match the bank. The converter gives three conversions with no account and three more once you register, which is enough to prove the file imports cleanly into your QuickBooks edition. Then compare against the per-vendor table in CSV to QBO converter pricing compared, the best CSV to QBO converter roundup, the Transaction Pro alternative comparison, or the metered credit model in SaasAnt Transactions pricing. Plans and limits are on the pricing page.
Which Transaction Pro edition should a small bookkeeping firm choose?
For one to five QuickBooks Online clients with heavy row counts, Premium at $570 a year is the plan that avoids caps. For Desktop-only work on one machine, the $199 Importer covers imports and the $299 PRO edition adds export and delete. For clients whose banks only supply a bank CSV, pair either with a converter rather than forcing bank rows through a general importer.
