StartSmart Pricing FAQs

Answers to common questions about StartSmart pricing, plans, and billing.

How do you compare against other financial planning & analysis (FP&A) software?

RunSmart is built specifically for small business owners who need a clear understanding of where their business stands today and how decisions will shape what comes next. While many FP&A platforms emphasize dashboards and complex configuration, RunSmart focuses on turning your QuickBooks data into practical financial intelligence you can act on.

It continuously analyzes historical performance, highlights meaningful financial shifts, and provides a clear view of your current financial health across profitability, cash flow, and growth. At the same time, it generates forward-looking forecasts that help you evaluate the financial impact of hiring, pricing changes, borrowing, or expansion before committing capital.

The result is a platform designed to help you understand your business today, plan confidently for tomorrow, and make informed decisions without the overhead of traditional enterprise tools.

Do I need a strong background in finance to use RunSmart?

Not at all. RunSmart is designed to be easy to use. We handle all calculations and generate forecasts automatically so you don’t have to. That said, to deliver reliable results, your books need to be clean, up to date, and properly categorized every month. If you’re unsure about your bookkeeping quality, we recommend working with a professional bookkeeper first to get things in order.

What makes RunSmart’s forecasts more reliable than other tools?

RunSmart’s forecasts are built to support real business decisions, not just generate projections. Instead of relying on simplified assumptions, RunSmart uses advanced statistical models that account for seasonality, long term trends, and volatility in your historical QuickBooks data.

By continuously analyzing performance patterns and financial shifts, RunSmart produces rolling forecasts that reflect how your business actually behaves. The result is forward looking projections you can confidently use to evaluate hiring, pricing, borrowing, and growth decisions.

My small business has been operational for less than 2 years; can I still use RunSmart?

To ensure reliable forecasts, we require a minimum of 2 consecutive years of historical financial data in your QuickBooks Online account to use RunSmart. Anything less than 2 years does not provide enough data to identify seasonal patterns or trends effectively.

Does RunSmart support consolidations or class tracking for budgeting?

No. RunSmart is intentionally designed for single-entity businesses and does not support consolidating multiple companies or budgeting by class.

In many small businesses, consolidating financial data or budgeting across multiple classes can make it harder to clearly identify where issues are developing. RunSmart focuses on analyzing each business independently so trends, risks, and performance changes are easier to detect and address.

These types of consolidation and class-level budgeting tools are typically designed for large finance teams managing complex corporate structures. RunSmart instead prioritizes clear forecasts, financial diagnostics, and decision insights that small business owners and advisors can quickly understand and act on—without the added complexity of enterprise finance features.

I don’t use QuickBooks Online for my small business. Can I still use RunSmart?

At this time, we currently only support an integration with QuickBooks Online.
