QuickBooks Online charges subscription fees on a per-company basis. If you manage a large number of QuickBooks Online companies, the total subscription cost can become quite high.
In contrast, Microsoft Dynamics 365 Business Central allows you to manage up to 300 companies under a single subscription, offering substantial cost savings.
Example Comparison:
