Enterprise is the only QuickBooks Desktop edition Intuit still sells to new customers, and it charges per seat. BizBooks Pro Enterprise is $1,680 a year for 30 users, locked for 12 years. Here's the comparison, including where Enterprise still wins.

Intuit did give Desktop users one piece of good news in August 2026: Desktop 2024 no longer has an end-of-support date. That makes staying on Desktop viable. It doesn't make it cheaper.
| Desktop option | Annual price | Users at that price |
|---|---|---|
| BizBooks Pro Enterprise | $1,680, locked 12 years | 30 users, 30 sets of books |
| BizBooks Pro Professional | $540, locked 12 years | Up to 5 sets of books; extra users $120/yr each |
| QuickBooks Enterprise Silver | ~$1,703 – $1,873 | 1 user; each added seat raises the price |
| QuickBooks Enterprise Gold | ~$2,200, plus a per-employee monthly fee | 1 user; up to 30 |
| QuickBooks Enterprise Platinum | ~$2,700, plus a per-employee monthly fee | 1 user; up to 30 |
| QuickBooks Enterprise Diamond | Quoted; monthly billing only | Up to 40 |
Enterprise figures are approximate single-user annual prices after Intuit's February 1, 2026 increase. Intuit quotes Enterprise through sales rather than a public list, so treat them as a guide and get a quote for your seat count. The shape is what matters. Enterprise starts at one user and climbs with every seat and, on Gold and Platinum, with every employee you pay. Ours is one number for the whole team, and it doesn't move for 12 years.
One more data point from the channel: according to Fourlane, a QuickBooks consultancy, since August 1, 2026 Intuit's reps have been "no longer financially incentivized" to sell Enterprise. You can still buy it. Just don't expect Intuit to push it.
If any of these describe your business, look hard at Enterprise Platinum before you look at us:
We'd rather lose the sale than have you discover one of these in month two.

The switching cost that matters is rarely the software. It's your history. If you've run Enterprise for fifteen years, you want those fifteen years in the new system, not just an opening balance.
BizBooks Pro imports from QuickBooks Desktop, Enterprise included, in three phases. First come your lists: chart of accounts with its numbering and sub-accounts, customers, vendors, items and classes. Then opening balances, if you want a fresh start. Otherwise it's the full transaction history, exported from a transaction report in date-range pieces. It runs on your own machine against your own database, with no deadline. A large, old Enterprise file is an afternoon's work plus checking, and we'll look at your export files with you before you import. The check that proves it worked is the same one an accountant would use: compare the Balance Sheet and Profit & Loss for a closed year against QuickBooks.
What doesn't come across: budgets, memorized transactions and invoice templates. Those get rebuilt here, and Intuit's own conversion to QuickBooks Online doesn't carry them either. Worth knowing too: Intuit's free Accountant Batch Migration Tool, which moves Desktop files into QuickBooks Online in bulk, does not work with Enterprise files.
Stay on Enterprise, or move to it, if you run serialised or lot-tracked inventory across warehouses, or you want payroll inside your accounting software. Move to BizBooks Pro if what you actually use is the accounting: invoicing, bills, bank reconciliation, reports, classes, several companies and several people. In that case you're paying Enterprise's per-seat prices for things you don't use. And look at it over twelve years, not one, because only one of these two prices is guaranteed not to move.
