Perfect for a driving heavy trade

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

Pros

Receipts scan straight in and the categories are usually right.

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

Does the MTD job on my phone

Receipts scan straight in and the categories are usually right. Only real gripe is that reporting is thin beyond income and expenses.

Simple, and it files

It detects trips and I just swipe to say business or personal, and the Self Assessment view maps to the boxes so January is calm now. No complaints so far.

Perfect for a driving heavy trade

The Self Assessment view maps to the boxes so January is calm now. Quarterly updates went to HMRC with no fuss at all.

Pros

The Self Assessment view maps to the boxes so January is calm now.

Cons

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

You outgrow it the second you register for VAT or incorporate, and there is no balance sheet, my accountant still does the year end. The automatic mileage tracking has paid for the subscription many times over, which is about the only positive.

Pros

Cons

You outgrow it the second you register for VAT or incorporate.
