What is the difference between the free membership and a paid membership?

membership of what? Are you asking about the difference between QBSE trial period and the paid account, or else?

Good afternoon, @ericsonquint.

A free trial is an option, but the free trial is only available for one month. For more information on pricing, take a look at QuickBooks Online pricing.

Reply to this thread if you have any other questions. Have a great week.

I just downloaded the QB self-employed phone app on my android phone to track business expenses and miles travelled. The app suggested that I should get a paid subscription but it doesn't tell me what extra benefits I would get out of a paid membership. Won't do it without knowing the benefits.
