Straightforward pricing, in rands
R349 a user for the practice side, R149 a set of books for the clients whose accounts you keep, and only pay for the heavy lifting (AI, financial statements, bank conversion) when you actually use it. Take either half on its own.
Practice plan
14-day free trialEvery user gets the full platform — no feature tiers, no lock-outs. Raising quotes and invoices is included; billing them automatically is a separate add-on.
A full SA payroll is in build; pricing announced at launch. Automatic client billing — fees raised and collected on job completion, once-off or recurring — is already live, and cloud accounting is here in early access.

What it comes to
A ten-person firm keeping sixty clients’ books, four of whom carry stock, with billing on autopilot:
- 10 users × R349R3 490
- Automatic billingR99
- 60 sets of books × R149R8 940
- 4 with stock × R99R396
R215 a set of books, all in — with the practice platform on top of it.
Three things worth knowing
- Accounting is never charged per user.One set of books may have one person in it or twenty, from your firm and from the client. Same price. Charging for the client’s own bookkeeper would stop you inviting them, which defeats the point of the books being here.
- Take either half on its own.Practice management without the books, or the books without practice management. Neither requires the other.
- Your own books are a set of books.A firm keeping its own accounts on Virta pays the same R149 for them — worth saying, because “our own” is the one everybody assumes is free.
The trial covers both — practice management, your clients’ books, or the two together. You choose at sign-up.
Not an accounting firm? If you want to keep your own business’s books, that is a flat R199 a month with unlimited users — and you can start it yourself right now.
Take either half on its own, or both on one login — practice management at R349 a user, clients’ books at R149 a set, your own books free. A firm that takes only the books pays no per-user fee at all.
