Is BrickTrack cheaper than QuickBooks?

Up to 14 properties, yes, against any QuickBooks plan. From 15 to 34 properties, BrickTrack costs more than Simple Start at $33 but less than Plus at $84, which is the plan that splits figures by property.

Do I need an ABN to use BrickTrack?

No. BrickTrack is built for individuals holding property in their own name as well as trusts, companies and SMSFs. You upload bank exports, so there's no bank-feed registration to pass.

Does BrickTrack have bank feeds like QuickBooks?

No. Transactions come in from a CSV or Excel export of your bank account, and BrickTrack suggests a category for each line.

My accountant uses QuickBooks. Will BrickTrack work for them?

Yes. Invite them into BrickTrack or send them the accountant pack, a PDF and spreadsheet with the year's figures by property. BrickTrack doesn't export in QuickBooks' format, so if they want the figures in a QuickBooks file, they'll enter them from the pack.

BrickTrack vs QuickBooks for property investors

QuickBooks Online is accounting software for running a small business: invoicing, bills, BAS and bank feeds, with payroll as an add-on. BrickTrack is a property portfolio tracker for investors who own rentals and want tax-time figures per property.

If you run a business, QuickBooks does bookkeeping that BrickTrack doesn't. If you use it only for your rental properties, BrickTrack costs less than any QuickBooks plan up to 14 properties, splits everything by property without a plan upgrade, and gives your accountant a pack with the year's figures by property.

Your first property is free. No credit card required.

Which fits

Which one suits your portfolio

Choose QuickBooks if

You run a small business with an ABN, you invoice and pay bills, you lodge BAS, and you want the business and its accounts in one place.

Choose BrickTrack if

You own investment properties, you may not have an ABN at all, and you want income, expenses, loans and tax-time figures per property without a general ledger.

Pricing

What each costs

QuickBooks charges per company file. Simple Start is $33 a month; splitting income and expenses by property with classes or locations starts on Plus at $84 a month. BrickTrack is free for your first property and $2.50 a month for each extra one.

Comparison of QuickBooks and BrickTrack
Feature	QuickBooks	BrickTrack
1 property	$33 a month on Simple Start ($396 over a year)	Free
5 properties	$84 a month on Plus ($1,008 over a year)	$10 a month ($120 over a year)
10 properties	$84 a month on Plus ($1,008 over a year), or $33 on Simple Start without a per-property split	$22.50 a month ($270 over a year)
20 properties	$84 a month on Plus ($1,008 over a year), or $33 on Simple Start without a per-property split	$47.50 a month ($570 over a year)

QuickBooks prices include GST. Plus from five properties assumes you want each property's figures separated, which needs classes or locations. Each company file is its own subscription, so properties held personally and in a trust are two. Introductory discounts aren't shown because they change often.

Switching

Moving your rentals out of QuickBooks

Export each bank account's transactions from your bank as CSV or Excel. BrickTrack reads the columns and suggests a category for each line; you confirm them.
Enter each property once with its purchase price, date and ownership, and add the loans with their offset accounts.
Upload your depreciation schedule and settlement statements as documents; the accountant pack draws on them.
If a business keeps its books in QuickBooks, leave them there. BrickTrack can sit beside it for the property side.
Your first property is free, so you can move one across and compare the accountant pack with your QuickBooks reports before you move the rest.

FAQ

Questions worth asking before you switch

It works if you already run a business in it. For rentals alone it asks a lot: splitting figures by property with classes or locations needs the Plus plan, a fixed asset register needs Advanced, and its Open Banking feeds need an ABN that many individual investors don't have.
