MoneyThumb Monthly vs Yearly Plans: Which Tier Costs Less Per Conversion

TL;DR: MoneyThumb monthly and yearly plans are not the same unit, even though they sit in the same checkout dropdown. Monthly conversions renew every month; yearly conversions cover the whole year. Because of that, the 800 conversion yearly plan at $799.95 gives you more conversions than a full year on the biggest monthly plan and costs a third less: about $1.00 each against about $1.67. The 25 conversion yearly plan at $124.95 is the worst value they sell. Figures read from MoneyThumb own shop pages on 5 September 2026.

Monthly and yearly conversions are different units

When you buy any of the four MoneyThumb converters, Convert2OFX, Convert2QBO, Convert2QFX or Convert2XLS, you choose a renewal type and then a conversion count. The counts look comparable. They are not.

A monthly plan for 60 conversions means 60 every month, which is 720 over a year. A yearly plan for 60 conversions means 60 for the entire year. The two sit within a few options of each other, at $99.95 and $199.95, and they are a factor of twelve apart in what you actually receive. Read the renewal type first and the number second, or you will pick the wrong one.

Every MoneyThumb tier on the same annual basis

Here is the full ladder converted to one comparable unit: conversions you get in a year, and what each one costs.

Convert2QBO and Convert2XLS carry three further auto refill tiers, at $1,199.95 for 1,500 conversions, $2,199.95 for 3,000 and $3,999.95 for 6,000, which bring the rate down to roughly $0.80, $0.73 and $0.67.

Which MoneyThumb plan is cheapest per conversion?

The 800 conversion yearly plan, at about $1.00 each, unless you are large enough for the auto refill tiers. What makes it interesting is not that it is cheapest but that it beats the largest monthly plan on both axes at once.

A year on the 60 conversion monthly plan costs $1,199.40 and delivers 720 conversions. The 800 conversion yearly plan costs $799.95 and delivers 800. That is 11 percent more conversions for 33 percent less money, from the same vendor, on the same product, in the same dropdown. If you are converting anywhere near 60 statements a month and paying monthly, you are paying a premium for nothing but the billing frequency.

At the other end, the 25 conversion yearly plan at $124.95 works out at about $5.00 per conversion, which is worse than the $24.95 monthly entry plan at about $4.99 and worse than every other tier. It only makes sense if you convert fewer than about two statements a month and want a single annual charge instead of a subscription you have to remember to cancel.

Match a plan to your real volume

Count statement months rather than files. MoneyThumb charges one conversion per monthly statement, and states that a multi month PDF is split by month with one conversion charged per month covered, so a file holding a year of history costs twelve.

Add roughly half again to whatever you counted, for quarter ends and new client onboarding. Those are the months that overshoot a tier, and one new client arriving with three years of back statements is 36 conversions on its own, which is more than seven months of the entry plan.

Does unused MoneyThumb balance expire?

Yes, after 12 months. MoneyThumb states that unused balance expires after a year, and that any remaining balance rolls over into the new balance if you renew before then. Auto refill triggers when your available conversions fall below 1 percent of the subscription, and can be turned off on request.

That matters for the yearly plans specifically. Buying 800 conversions to get the $1.00 rate only works if you use something close to 800 within the year. Buy ahead of demand and the effective rate quietly climbs back toward what a smaller plan would have cost you.

Does MoneyThumb still sell a one time desktop license?

No. This is the biggest change for anyone comparing plans against an older quote. MoneyThumb retired its installed desktop converters, and as of 5 September 2026 the old shop URL for 2qbo Convert Pro Plus returns a 301 redirect to MoneyThumb Online for QuickBooks, while the 2qfx equivalent redirects to MoneyThumb Online for Quicken. The store lists seven products and all of them are online.

If you were budgeting against a perpetual license you saw quoted somewhere, that number no longer exists as a purchasable option, and third party sites still repeating it are out of date. Our write up of what replaced 2qbo Convert Pro covers the options for people who were running the desktop product.

Is a per conversion plan the right shape for your work at all?

That is the question underneath the tier choice, and it is worth answering before optimizing a dropdown. MoneyThumb bills per statement regardless of length, and says so plainly: a 3 page document costs the same as an 80 page one. Per conversion pricing beats per page pricing at roughly ten pages per statement, so if your clients bank somewhere that produces thick statements, the flat fee genuinely works in your favor.

The arithmetic inverts for volume. At 60 statements a month on the best yearly rate you are paying about $1.00 each, or around $800 a year. An allowance based plan prices the same work differently: our Starter plan is $49 a month for 2,500 pages, which is roughly 200 average statements, at about $0.02 per page. Which is cheaper depends entirely on how long your documents are and how many of them there are, and the full tier by tier picture is on the MoneyThumb pricing page. If you are weighing MoneyThumb against the page based tools instead, the DocuClipper pricing breakdown puts the other billing model side by side, and the MoneyThumb alternative page covers what switching involves.

Two things to check before you pick a tier

First, whether the tool reads the specific banks your clients use. You can only find that out by putting real documents through a trial, and the documents that matter are the awkward ones: a scan, a phone photo taken at an angle, a credit card statement with a multi column layout. Every converter in this category handles a clean digital PDF from a large bank, so testing on one tells you nothing.

Second, whether the export your accounting system actually accepts is on the list. QuickBooks Desktop Web Connect reads .QBO and nothing else. QuickBooks Online accepts .csv, .txt, .qbo, .ofx and QFX but caps an upload at about 1,000 lines. Xero and NetSuite both take OFX. Quicken cannot import OFX at all and needs CSV, through File, then File Import, then Banking Transactions, then From (.CSV) File. A cheaper tier that cannot produce the file you need costs you the whole subscription.
