A2X vs Link My Books

The two best-known Amazon-to-Xero connectors, compared honestly — and when a third option makes more sense.

Last updated: 19 September 2026

Short answer: A2X and Link My Books do the same core job — turning Amazon payouts into detailed entries in your accounting software. A2X is the more established option with the widest ledger support (Xero, QuickBooks Online, Sage, NetSuite) and higher prices. Link My Books is usually cheaper, supports more sales channels, and works with Xero and QuickBooks Online. If you are a UK seller who only sells on Amazon and uses Xero, TrueBooks costs less than either and focuses entirely on UK VAT accuracy.

Where A2X is stronger

  • Ledger choice. It is the only one of the three that supports Sage and NetSuite.
  • Accounting firms. Its partner tools and top-end tiers are built for firms and very high-volume sellers.
  • Reputation. It has the longest history and is widely recommended by accountants; it was Xero's US Small Business App of the Year for 2025.

Where Link My Books is stronger

  • Price. It is generally cheaper than A2X at the same order volume.
  • Sales channels. It covers the most marketplaces and shopping carts of the three.
  • UK sellers. It has a strong reputation for UK and EU VAT handling.

Where TrueBooks fits

TrueBooks is for a narrower but common case: a UK business that sells on Amazon and keeps its books in Xero. Because it does only that, it can go deeper on UK VAT — Marketplace Facilitator VAT, zero-rated exports, the August 2024 move of Amazon's UK billing from Luxembourg to its UK branch, and a VAT view by HMRC box. It bills in pounds from £9.99/month + VAT and includes a migration tool so you can move from A2X or Link My Books without posting old settlements twice. It doesn't yet support QuickBooks or channels other than Amazon.

Can I switch from A2X or Link My Books without duplicating entries?
