The comparison

These four apps are the closest US receipt, mileage, or deduction tools for self-employed people. Expensify was researched and left out of the chart because its official pricing page did not expose current plan prices in a form we could verify. A grey label means a higher plan, a documented limit, or a feature the vendor marks as coming soon.

Based on public info as of November 2026. USD list prices; promotional discounts are omitted. Keeper, Everlance, QuickBooks, and Shoeboxed are trademarks of their respective owners. SovereignLedger is not affiliated with or endorsed by them. Confirm current prices and limits on each vendor’s site before you buy. Deduction figures in SovereignLedger are estimates based on general IRS rules, not tax advice.

How to read the rows

  • Starting price and free plans. SovereignLedger starts at $7.99 a month, with yearly and lifetime options, and a free tier of 10 scans a month. Everlance and QuickBooks Solopreneur also have lasting free plans with limits. Keeper’s plans start with a 14-day trial, then $20 a month or $199 a year. Shoeboxed has no free plan; Starter is $9 a month or $97 a year.
  • No account, and receipts on your device. SovereignLedger does not require an account or a vendor cloud, and receipt text is read on the device. The other four are account-based services (bank connections, cloud records, or mail-in scanning).
  • Mileage. SovereignLedger, Everlance, QuickBooks Solopreneur, and Shoeboxed all document mileage tracking. Keeper lists mileage as coming soon.
  • Export for your tax preparer. SovereignLedger includes a CPA / filing pack. Everlance and Shoeboxed document CSV or PDF export. QuickBooks Solopreneur lets you share records with an accountant. Keeper’s Standard and higher plans include tax filing by a tax pro.

What this table does not claim

We did not put “legal tax tips” or tax advice in the chart. SovereignLedger’s deduction figures are estimates, clearly marked as not tax advice. Schedule C line categories and quarterly tax estimates were left out because they were not uniformly documented for every competitor. In-app IRS citations are a SovereignLedger feature; they are described in the app, not used as a comparative claim here.
