One-time · per business
One extra app costs more this year than Helix costs once.
Two doors. A company buying its own map. A firm buying the playbook for every ledger it touches. Same product. Different long run. Why buy.
Single business
Helix for my business
$349
USD · once · this company · one ledger
Long run for one company: you keep one map as QBO, Xero, or Sage ships new agents. You do not pay Helix again. You stop paying monthly for a second bank feed or two AP inboxes.
- The visual tool map and AI setups for the one ledger you name
- Which jobs are already native — so you cancel the extra app
- The operating pack: bookkeeper brief, close week, do-not-buy, AI posting rules — printable
- Lifetime access for this business on that software — atlas updates included
- One bookkeeper seat — they sign in, they do not buy a second license
- Add another ledger later ($149) or step up to Atlas (pay the difference)
Accounting firm
Helix Atlas License
$990
USD · once · this firm · 50 platforms · 21 process families
Stop re-learning AI on every client’s ledger. Long run for a firm: one playbook on every file — QBO, Xero, Intacct, NetSuite. Capacity per accountant, not another research project per client. Atlas stays current. $990 once for this firm.
- Every ledger and adjacent tool in the atlas — one playbook for the firm
- Visual tool maps, native vs partner, setups, sequences, control notes
- Operating packs for the files you serve — who does rec, what the agent may draft, what not to buy
- Lifetime access for this firm as platforms ship new AI
- Five named seats — partners and staff sign in, they do not buy a second license
What the license actually names
Specific examples — not a brochure
QuickBooks Online
Bank feeds
Already native in Banking. Helix tells a single business not to buy a second Plaid-class app.
QuickBooks Online
Accounting Agent
Fall 2026: categorizes and fills missing detail. Helix names the reviewer — the agent does not sign the file.
QuickBooks Online
Two AP inboxes
Snap + BILL on the same mailbox double-posts. The map picks one inbox and the setup button for it.
Xero
JAX
Just Ask Xero is now standard on plans. Helix says: check the saved report before it goes to a board pack.
Sage Intacct
Copilot vs dimensions
Do not buy Copilot and skip dimension design. Sequence is dimensions, then Copilot, then a close tool — not all three as the system of record.
Numeric
On QuickBooks Online
Connect only after weekly rec and one AP inbox. TB sync, not NetSuite-depth. AI drafts flux; journals post in QBO. MCP last.
What people buy instead
Nothing else is this atlas
There is not a second Helix. People substitute a chatbot, a course, a consultant hour, or another app. Those cost more over a year — and still do not map native AI on the ledger you run.
| Option | Typical cost | What you get | What you still don’t have |
|---|---|---|---|
| ChatGPT / Claude subscription | $20/mo · ~$240/year | A general chatbot. You still have to know which QBO button to press. | No ledger map. No native-vs-partner. Invents a second bank-feed app if you let it. |
| A consultant hour | $200–$400 per hour | One conversation about your file. | Not written down as a living atlas. Next year’s new Intuit agent is another hour. |
| “AI for accountants” course | $300–$2,000 once | Slides and a certificate. | Not mapped to the software you actually run. Not setups. Not your stack. |
| Numeric / close software | From ~$30/user/month | A close product — if close is the job. | Does not tell you QBO bank feeds are already native, or that two AP inboxes double-post. |
| Buying Dext + BILL + Ramp blind | Hundreds / month, forever | More apps on the stack. | The map of which job is already in the ledger. That waste is the problem Helix is for. |
| Blank process-mapping (Miro, etc.) | From ~$8/user/month | An empty board you draw yourself. | The atlas of what each accounting platform already ships. |
| Helix for my business | $349 once | The map for the one ledger you name. Visual tool map, native AI, setups, 90-day sequence. 1 bookkeeper seat. | Does not log into QuickBooks or your bank. Does not replace the books. |
| Helix Atlas | $990 once | Every platform. 5 named seats for the firm. One playbook per file. | Still not a second GL. Accountants still review. |

What to expect
The day you pay — then the long run
01
Pay once
Studio $349 or Atlas $990 on the JG Pulse cart. Same email you used to create the account.
02
Sign back in
Return to Helix. Claim the order if asked. Your workspace opens that day.
03
Open your map
Visual tool map, native AI, the programs that work with your ledger, and setup buttons — for the software you licensed.
04
Run the sequence
A 90-day Helix Map for this business. Native first. One path per job. A person still reviews.
60-day make-it-right
60 days. Write Joy if the pack does not name a duplicate you can drop or avoid.
No automatic refunds. [email protected] — JG Pulse will make it right. Helix has to earn the license by showing you what not to buy, and handing you a week the bookkeeper can run.
Add or upgrade later
Another ledger? Add it for $149. Want every map? Upgrade Studio to Atlas and pay only the difference. The site then opens that software — nothing else.
Helix is a process map. It does not log into QuickBooks, Xero, or any other ledger. Your books stay where they are.
