Xero Add-Ons & Integrations
Updated July 2026 · By the ERP Research Editorial Team · Independent and vendor-neutral — no vendor pays for placement or ranking.
Xero add-ons are third-party applications that extend Xero with capabilities beyond core accounting — AP automation, inventory management, credit control, planning and reporting. They connect through Xero's API and are distributed through the Xero App Store. A well-chosen add-on stack is how many companies run on Xero long past the point the core product alone would allow.
Xero's API-first design produced one of the largest app ecosystems in accounting software, and for good reason: core Xero deliberately stays lean, leaving inventory depth, AP workflows, forecasting and industry specifics to its app partners. Choosing well matters — the same requirement can be served by five apps at five very different price points.
This directory organises Xero-compatible add-ons by business problem, researched independently of any vendor. Each category compares realistic options side by side, and flags the requirements that are better read as a sign to evaluate an ERP than to add another app.

The Xero App Store vs an independent directory
The Xero App Store is the authoritative list of apps with a supported Xero connection, and the right place to check reviews from other Xero users. It is not designed to tell you which competing app fits your size and industry, or when your requirement has outgrown Xero entirely. Use the comparisons here for the shortlist, then verify the connection on the App Store before committing.

Frequently asked questions
How do add-ons connect to Xero?
Through Xero's OAuth 2.0 API — you authorise the app against your Xero organisation and it syncs contacts, invoices, bills and journals continuously. Because the API is standard across the ecosystem, connection quality varies less than on other platforms; the real differences are in functional depth and pricing.
When have we outgrown Xero?
Common tipping points: multi-entity consolidation handled in spreadsheets, inventory and manufacturing beyond what apps cover, audit and controls requirements, or transaction volumes that slow the ledger. If two or more apply, an ERP evaluation is usually the better investment than a deeper app stack.
How much do Xero add-ons cost?
Almost all are separate monthly subscriptions, usually priced per user or per transaction volume. Simple utilities start around tens of dollars monthly; AP automation, inventory and planning platforms run to hundreds or more. Check whether pricing scales with your document volume before you commit.
