If you’re running a small or growing business, your banking app should do more than hold your money. Lili’s mid-tier plans bundle checking, invoicing, bookkeeping, and tax prep in one place, so you can skip the separate software subscriptions and manage your finances without switching between apps.
Lili is a business banking platform built for small and mid-sized businesses that want more than a basic checking account without hiring an accountant. Its tiered plans are designed to scale with a company as it grows, from early operations through higher-revenue, multi-employee stages.
It offers four plan tiers – Core, Pro, Smart, and Premium – ranging from free to $55 per month, each adding more financial tools on top of the last.
Key Features
- Four plan tiers: Core (free), Pro ($15/mo), Smart ($35/mo), Premium ($55/mo)
- Up to 4.00% APY on savings balances over $500,000; 2.25% APY up to $500,000
- FDIC coverage up to $3M through Sunrise Banks, N.A. and a sweep network
- Built-in invoicing, bookkeeping, and tax prep tools on Smart and Premium plans
- BusinessBuild add-on for business credit monitoring and reporting ($30/mo after trial)
- Fee-free overdraft protection up to $200 on all paid plans
- 40,000+ fee-free ATMs; early direct deposit on all plans
Pros
- Core plan is genuinely useful at $0, with savings earning interest and early direct deposit included
- Smart plan replaces multiple paid software subscriptions with built-in bookkeeping, invoicing, and tax tools
- High-yield savings rate and expanded FDIC coverage are strong for a business banking app
Cons
- Paid plan fees have climbed sharply: Pro is $15/mo, Smart $35/mo, Premium $55/mo
- Premium adds only a dedicated specialist and a metal debit card over Smart, hard to justify at $20 more per month
- BusinessBuild credit program is a separate add-on at $30/mo, not included in any plan
- No cashback rewards program currently offered on any plan
Lili is a solid choice if you want banking, bookkeeping, and invoicing in one place without stitching together separate subscriptions. Smart is the plan most small business owners will get the most from. The accounting and tax tools alone can justify the cost. Just skip Premium unless dedicated support genuinely matters to you.
