Alternatives to Clear Books

We checked these prices between and .

The selector keeps Clear Books for landlords and sole traders, including people with both kinds of income. Its cheapest plan is listed as free (Sole Trader Free / Property Free). Of the 12 other products on this page, three differ from it on a free plan, five on bank feeds and four on support for jointly owned property. Clear Books suits landlords and sole traders looking for free MTD filing, mixed-income users willing to keep separate business records and people who want quarterly updates and the year-end return in the same product, and we checked its prices on 25 October 2026.

If it does not fit, these are the other products the selector keeps for the same people. They are in the order the selector itself uses: how well each one fits that kind of income first, then the price, then the name. Each one’s cheapest plan and the points where it differs from Clear Books come from our checks of the provider’s own pages, so where we say a product does not offer something, it means we did not find it there.

If you already use Clear Books for Making Tax Digital, the guide to changing your MTD software explains what GOV.UK says about when you can move and what happens to your records.

Hear about price changes once a month

We’ll email you a link to confirm first. Once you confirm, Acrenvo will send one email a month summarising the MTD software price changes we have checked and any changes to HMRC’s list of software for MTD for Income Tax, with links to the pages on Acrenvo where each change is recorded. Each email may also pick out one dated finding from that month’s record and list the coming MTD for Income Tax deadlines. If nothing changed in a month, we send nothing. In future it may also carry one advert and news of paid guides or templates from Acrenvo, each clearly labelled for what it is. Every email has a stop link, and stopping takes a single click.

This is separate from the deadline reminders, and signing up for one does not sign you up for the other. No account is needed. How we use your email address. Past emails and what each one holds
