Does the MTD job on my phone

Everything is on the phone, which suits how I actually work. Receipts scan straight in and the categories are usually right.

Pros

Everything is on the phone, which suits how I actually work.

Cons

No free tier, so Sage looks cheaper if you barely drive for work.

Mileage tracking alone is worth it

You outgrow it the second you register for VAT or incorporate, and the AI features are labelled beta and feel like it. It detects trips and I just swipe to say business or personal, which is about the only positive.

Pros

It detects trips and I just swipe to say business or personal.

Cons

Does the MTD job on my phone

Everything is on the phone, which suits how I actually work, and the automatic mileage tracking has paid for the subscription many times over. No complaints so far.

Pros

Everything is on the phone, which suits how I actually work.

Cons

There is no balance sheet, my accountant still does the year end.

Good for the self employed

Pros

Cons

Simple, and it files

The automatic mileage tracking has paid for the subscription many times over, and the Self Assessment view maps to the boxes so January is calm now. No complaints so far.

Pros

The automatic mileage tracking has paid for the subscription many times over.

Cons

The AI features are labelled beta and feel like it.
