Hi Raquel
I currently pay £5 or £6 per year for Sage One Accountant Edition. This includes Sage One Accounts, which allows us to keep our own accounts and to access some of clients’ own versions of Sage One products (don’t know if it allows access to clients’ Sage One Accounts Extra). Sage keep changing their pricing structure so you might have to pay 99p per month now. Maybe it now includes Extra for that price. See link:

Following is only my opinion based on my (limited) experience with it.
Sage One Accounts and Sage One Accounts Extra seem to me to be completely different products and are a million miles apart in terms of functionality and even the Extra interface is so much better and more intuitive. I’ve been using Sage One Accounts Extra at a client’s premises. So far I have found Extra to be good and can do everything this client needs. The “Help” sections are good and talk you through everything step-by-step if needed.
Sage One Payroll is quite nice and really easy, with plenty of help sections, but still lacks some more detailed features that I’ve seen elsewhere. The figures are posted straight to Accounts Extra. I’ve only done straightforward payroll runs so far. I am not looking forward to doing any time off as there is no calendar (as in many other softwares) that can just be clicked to record and keep tally of holidays or other absences.
You can take a free one-month trial of each - Accounts, Accounts Extra and Payroll. Then you could work through some training data or similar before you commit yourself to anything. I definitely think you should do this. Might also be worth confirming/checking whether our low-price Accountant edition can access Sage One Accounts Extra for clients.
Hope that might be of some help.
