Hello, Sean. I'll provide information about having two companies with the same subscription in QuickBooks Online (QBO).
Yes, you'll need to pay for both companies even if they are under the same name with the same subscription. If the other company is still under free trial and you don't use it, you can cancel it before the free trial ends so you won't be billed the next month. Please know that if you cancel within the 30-day trial, you can still access your company until the next billing date. After that you only have a read-only access for a year.
To cancel, you can follow the steps below:
Additionally, you can check this article if you wish to update your billing information, billing schedule, or payment method in QuickBooks; Manage billing, payment, and subscription info in QuickBooks Online.
