Hello and welcome to the Community, @j-spinnato. I'd be happy to share with you some overview and information about the QuickBooks Online subscription plans.
The QuickBooks Online versions including Simple Start, Essentials, Plus, and Advanced are only available in monthly plans in the US. The prices that you see on the website are discount offers that are applied to the monthly rate for the first 12 months of service.
Please note that these discount offers are only applicable to new users who have not registered an account for QuickBooks. You can visit the QuickBooks Online official website for more information regarding the pricing and promotions.
Moreover, to learn more about your sign-up options for QuickBooks Online, you can find the contact details in the upper-right corner of the website to speak to our sales team.
Additionally, there are also several ways to manage your QuickBooks Online subscription. I've included an article that you can use to update the card on file, billing information, and change your subscription: Manage billing, payment, and subscription info in QuickBooks Online.
Please don't hesitate to reach out if you have any further concerns regarding switching plans to QuickBooks Online. We will keep an eye on your response.
