What every plan includes
Every plan starts with
a complete set of books.
The smallest plan and the largest carry the same ledger: posting, invoices, bills, banking and reconciliation, sales tax, multi-currency, a close that locks, documents, the customer portal, time and billing, and Kora. Nothing on this page is a tier you have to reach. What is bought separately is on Expansions.

The ledger
A ledger you cannot quietly edit.
Posted entries are never edited and never deleted. A void is itself the reversing entry, so the history of a mistake is part of the record. Ask what a number was last March and there is an answer, and it is not a backup.
The books
General ledger, receivables, payables, banking
Invoices, credit notes, deposits, dunning and late fees. Bills and payment runs. Bank reconciliation that will not mark a line matched twice.
The close
A period that actually locks
A closed period declines a posting outright. Sub-ledgers lock with it, and re-opening one is an act with a name against it, not a switch.
Currency
The rate is recorded, not assumed
Every foreign document carries its rate and where the rate came from.
Exactness
No rounding you did not ask for
Amounts are exact from entry to print. A cent that appears on its own is a fault, never a tolerance.
Documents
The paper stays attached
Bills, receipts and statements are matched to the entry they justify, each with a fingerprint that shows the file has not been altered since.
The audit trail
Every action, by everyone, with the receipt behind it.
One screen, Settings then Audit, lists every recorded change and every sign-in. Each row carries a hash of the one before it, so a row cannot be altered or removed without the chain showing it. Behind each line is what was done, by whom, to what, with which figures, and when.
- 01
A screen, not an export you request
Open it, search it, open the receipt behind any line. Nobody raises a ticket to find out what happened last Tuesday.
- 02
Kora is in it like anyone else
Where she ran an automation, the row names the automation and the person whose standing approval authorised it. An action is never traceable only to "the AI".
- 03
It is what SOC 2 reads
If you add SOC 2 evidence, the registers and the monitoring read these rows rather than a second set kept beside them. The evidence an auditor samples is the record your own people use.
How it works
One sale. Two sides. They always balance.
Every transaction is recorded twice, what changed on one side of the business and what changed on the other, and Stone Ledger will not save one half without the other. Try it.
Every posted entry stays exactly as it was posted. Corrections are new entries, and you can see all of them.
Basic, itemised
The smallest thing you can buy, line by line.
Basic is one seat and everything below. Every larger plan carries all of it and adds to it; nothing here is taken away as you move up. The list is read from the same entitlement table the checkout gates on, so what you see here and what you are given cannot drift apart.
| Basic carries | Which means |
|---|---|
| AI Assistant module | Ask about your own books and get an answer that cites its rows. |
| Analytics module | The figures behind the statements, sliced how you need them. |
| Core accounting module | The ledger itself — invoices, bills, banking, sales tax, documents. |
| Time & billing module | Clients and jobs, hours against each, and the billing that comes out of them. |
| The close module | Close checklists, reconciliations and review in one place. |
| AI Assistant feature | Ask about your own books in plain English. Every answer cites the rows it came from. |
| Customer portal feature | Customers see their invoices and pay them without emailing you. |
| Document templates feature | Your invoices and statements, in your brand. |
| Fixed assets feature | Depreciation schedules that post themselves. |
| Time & billing feature | Hours against a job, billed at the rate that job carries. |
| 10 lines | 1 seat on Basic, more on every tier above it. Figures on Pricing. |
The trial
30 days of the plan you choose.
Pick Basic, Office or Business at signup and you get that plan for 30 days with its own seats, on your own books. Not a demo dataset and not a feature-capped version.
- 01
Your own books, because that is the only test that counts
Whether it works on your ledger, your stock and your people is not a question sample data can answer.
- 02
60 days read-only afterwards
If you decide against it, your books stay readable and exportable for 60 days. Exporting is a button, not a support ticket.
- 03
Moving your books in is free
On every plan, including this one. Kora maps your accounts, recreates the open items, and refuses to sign the import off until your old trial balance and your new one agree line by line.
Security
Enforced in the database, not by hiding a menu.
- 01
Every row belongs to one organisation
Tenancy is enforced by the database itself. A query from the wrong organisation returns nothing, whatever the application asked for.
- 02
Permission is default-deny
An operation with no declared permission is refused, not allowed. A role means the same thing in every module.
- 03
Money needs a person at the keyboard
Any operation that moves money requires a fresh one-time passcode, typed by a person, immediately before it happens. An automation cannot satisfy that.
- 04
40 named abuse cases, each tested
The threat model names 40 ways the product could be misused, and each is covered by tests, 126 of them, that the build has watched pass. A release that drops one does not ship.
- 05
Your books stay with us
Kora runs on Stone Ledger's own servers. Your data is not sent to another company's model.
Not included
What every plan does not carry.
A page that only lists what you get is a page you cannot plan against. Four things are not here, and they are the four most people need next.
- 01
Payroll
An add-on on Basic, Office and Business, priced per company and per employee paid. Included in Corporate and Suite.
- 02
Client trust accounting
An add-on on every plan and in none of them, for firms holding money that is not theirs.
- 03
The operational modules
Warehouse, manufacturing, retail and CRM are jobs a business takes on, bought when you take them on. Workflows says which ones a business like yours needs.
- 04
More than one company
Consolidation arrives with Suite, or as an add-on on any plan.
Time tracking
One hour reaches the invoice and the pay run.
Most companies enter time twice, once for billing and once for payroll, and reconcile the difference at month end. Here an hour is recorded once and read by both.
| One entry becomes | Where it lands | What it must satisfy |
|---|---|---|
| Billable hours | A customer invoice line at the engagement's rate | The rate in force on the date worked |
| Paid hours | A pay-run line, with overtime applied | Reconciles to the clock |
| Job cost | A work order or a project | Posts to the ledger with the labour it represents |
| Utilisation | The firm's own reports | Comes off the same entries, so it cannot disagree with the billing |
