Best for businesses already running the Zoho suite, and for value hunters
Zoho Books is the value option with the widest feature list per dollar, including inventory and a client portal at low tiers. Its strongest argument is suite integration; its weakness is US accountant familiarity and a free tier limited by revenue.
