## Tools

- [Accounting software fee calculator: QuickBooks Online, Xero, FreshBooks, Zoho Books and Wave](https://statementbench.com/accounting-software-fee-calculator.md): Enter your users, invoices, bills, bank volume and the features you need. The calculator finds the cheapest plan that fits at each of five vendors, using list prices recorded from their own pricing pages.
- [Bank statement PDF to CSV converter that checks every balance](https://statementbench.com/bank-statement-pdf-to-csv.md): Extract transactions from a text-based bank statement PDF in your browser, then check every row against the statement's running balance to the cent. Rows that don't add up are flagged.
- [CSV to QBO converter for QuickBooks bank imports](https://statementbench.com/csv-to-qbo.md): Turn a bank or credit card CSV export into a QuickBooks Web Connect (.qbo) file or an OFX 2 file. It runs in your browser, maps the columns, and shows the totals before you download.
