Ledgable vs MYOB
MYOB has been doing Australian accounting longer than almost anyone. Here is where Ledgable is a better fit, where AccountRight is still the right answer, and how migration works.
Should you move from MYOB to Ledgable?
We would rather you stayed where you are than moved and regretted it, so here is both sides first.
- Payroll is metered per employee on your plan and the headcount charge keeps growing. Ledgable includes payroll for up to 5 employees on Pro and up to 50 on Business, with no per-employee fee.
- You are on an annual-only plan and would rather pay monthly with no lock-in.
- You want AI that categorises and posts rather than a rules engine you maintain — with a 24-hour undo on every AI write action.
- You run several entities, or a practice, and want group reporting and multi-client tools in the same product.
- Your business is services rather than stock. Most of AccountRight's depth is inventory depth, and you are paying for it.
- You run real inventory — multiple locations, landed costs, assemblies, stock takes that matter. AccountRight is materially better here and Ledgable is not close.
- You need job costing across long projects with detailed cost tracking.
- You have a large payroll where AccountRight Plus's included unlimited payroll works out cheaper than a per-plan headcount cap.
- You need direct ATO lodgement from inside the software today.
- You need multi-currency with the depth AccountRight Premier offers.
What MYOB does well
MYOB has been doing Australian accounting longer than almost anyone, and AccountRight is genuinely strong where Ledgable is not: deep inventory, job costing, and payroll for larger headcounts included rather than metered. If you are a wholesaler or manufacturer running real stock, MYOB is a serious answer.

What Ledgable does that the incumbents do not
AI that writes to your books - and can be undone
Ledge AI does not just suggest a category; on Pro and Business it can create the invoice or post the transaction for you. Every AI write action lands on an undo list for 24 hours, so letting the AI act is a reversible decision rather than a leap of faith.
Practice tools in the product, not a separate subscription
Multi-client dashboard, engagement and task tracking, client onboarding, review queues and practice billing are part of Ledgable. You do not buy a second product to manage a book of clients.
Priced for a small Australian business
Free is $0 forever. Pro is $29/month and Business is $79/month, AUD, and AI is included on every plan rather than metered per action.
Australian from the schema up
ABN lookup against the ABR at signup, GST and BAS field mapping, STP Phase 2 payroll, Payday Super due dates from 1 July 2026, and data hosted in Sydney. Not a US product with an Australian tax pack bolted on.
What Ledgable does not do yet
This list is here because a comparison page without one is not worth reading. If any of these matter to your business, the incumbent is the better answer today and we would rather you knew now.
Direct lodgement with the ATO is not live
Ledgable prepares BAS and STP data and exports it, but you lodge through your existing channel or your agent. Direct submission needs Digital Service Provider registration, and it is on the Business tier roadmap rather than in the product today.
The app marketplace is small
Xero, MYOB and QuickBooks each have hundreds of third-party integrations. If your business depends on a specific point-of-sale, e-commerce or job-management app, check that Ledgable connects to it before you move.
Inventory is basic
Ledgable tracks items and prices. It is not a stock-control system with multiple warehouses and landed costs. If you run real inventory depth, MYOB AccountRight is the better fit and we would rather tell you now.
Every accountant already knows the incumbents
Your bookkeeper has used Xero for a decade. Ledgable is new to them. We give accountants a free practice workspace and a revenue share to make that worth their time, but the familiarity gap is real.
Moving your MYOB data across
Ledgable has a guided MYOB importer that connects through MYOB's own authorisation screen. You never hand over a password, and the connection is used once for the migration rather than kept open.
- Start the MYOB importer and sign in to MYOB AccountRight Live when prompted.
- Ledgable reads your accounts, contacts and balances over MYOB's own API - you never hand over a password.
- Check the account mapping Ledgable proposes and adjust anything it guessed wrong.
- Commit the import. The MYOB connection is used once for the migration, not kept open as a live sync.
