The situations where Clear Books is most likely to make sense
Landlords and sole traders who need a genuinely free all-in-one MTD route, mixed-income users who want property and self-employment records together, and people who want quarterly updates and the year-end return in the same product.
What the published plan prices look like
| Plan | Price | Notes |
|---|---|---|
| Sole Trader / Landlord Free | Free | free forever for basic needs; no transaction limits; includes quarterly updates and year-end MTD tax return filing |
| Sole Trader / Landlord | £5/mo | plus VAT; adds time-saving features such as receipt scanning and expanded support |
A note before you decide
Clear Books' pricing page says the free plan includes digital records, MTD quarterly updates and the year-end MTD tax return with no transaction limits, while another current product page still labels the year-end feature as coming soon. Confirm that final filing, joint ownership and former-FHL handling are live for your exact account before choosing it. Some automation and document scanning sit on the £5 + VAT plan.
