Good for the self employed

Receipts scan straight in and the categories are usually right. Only real gripe is that you outgrow it the second you register for VAT or incorporate.

Pros

Receipts scan straight in and the categories are usually right.

Cons

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

Simple, and it files

It detects trips and I just swipe to say business or personal, and receipts scan straight in and the categories are usually right. No complaints so far.

Pros

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

Reporting is thin beyond income and expenses.

Pros

Receipts scan straight in and the categories are usually right.

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

Mileage tracking alone is worth it

Good for the self employed

Everything is on the phone, which suits how I actually work, and the Self Assessment view maps to the boxes so January is calm now. The AI features are labelled beta and feel like it, but we live with it.

Pros

Cons

The AI features are labelled beta and feel like it.

Sorted my Self Assessment

Reporting is thin beyond income and expenses, 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

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

Cons

Reporting is thin beyond income and expenses.
