Our own prices are the ones in the table: £45, £89 and £139 a month, flat per business.
YourTradebase charges £29 for the first user and £15 for each one after that. So the bill goes up a step with every person, and ours does not.
On those published rates their staircase passes our top rate at around 9 people. Below that they come out lower and we would rather say so; above it the flat rate does, and it stays flat.
What their page did not settle on the day we read it: whether there are other plans — their page shows one, with users added to it.

Common questions
Is Quandron the lower price?
Not for a sole trader, and we are not going to pretend otherwise. Their base rate starts below our smallest. It is from around 9 people that a flat rate comes out lower.
Where does that crossover number come from?
It is worked out from their published rates and ours at build time, not typed into this sentence. If any of the three amounts changes, the number here changes with it.
Where do these figures come from?
From each supplier's own public pricing page, read on the date shown under the table. They can change, and a promotion may be running that is not reflected here — we compare list price with list price, because a promotion ends and a comparison should not.
Why compare the pricing model rather than the features?
Because we have read their pricing pages and not their feature pages. A feature claim about somebody else's product that we have not verified does not belong on this page. The pricing model is published, checkable, and it is where the difference actually shows up on your bill.
