How Bookfolio compares.
Honest comparisons with the accounting software UK sole traders, landlords, and limited companies usually shortlist. One difference runs through all of them: a Bookfolio price includes UK accountants on hand, while every product below is software you hire an accountant on top of. Every claim links the other product's own published page and carries the date we checked it — including the cases where they are the better choice for you.

How we compare
The rules we hold ourselves to.
You are choosing software you will live in for years. These pages are written so you can check them rather than take our word for it.
↗
Sourced
Every statement about another product links the page on their own site that backs it up. If we cannot link it, we do not say it.
•
Dated
Each comparison shows the date we last checked it against those pages. Prices and plans move, and an undated comparison is not worth much.
✓
Candid
Every comparison names the cases where the other product is the better choice for you, in the same place and the same size as our own case.
