They offer cashback if you later open a business bank account with Barclays, so the company formation is actually free (you can even get back ~£30 back on top if you pick the cheapest formation plan).
I've used Crunch before and while I'm happy with their service, they don't have an api so you'll need to record sales manually. Depending on the nature and pricing of your webapp this might not be do-able.
They recently added a bank reconciliation feature. You can upload a CSV statement from your bank which, sort of, automates it (still needs some manual input).
Unfortunately CSV statements from my bank (Barclays) aren't compatible with their importer. Hopefully they'll add support for more statement formats.

I've used http://www.companyformations247.co.uk/ to open the company.

As for accountants I've been using http://www.crunch.co.uk/
For £70 a month they give you:
* web-based accounting software
* dedicated account manager
* dedicated accountant
* sort out your taxes at end of tax year
* registered office service
* extras like help you with personal taxes for extra fee
Highly recommend both companies.
