Cheaper apps do one job. Comparable apps cost double.

* Hurdlr Premium. Hurdlr does not publish a pricing page — hurdlr.com/pricing redirects to its home page — so this figure comes from in-app pricing rather than a public page, and may be out of date. Treat it as the least reliable number here.

† Everlance Professional, $19.99/month or $119.99/year. It also includes a tax filing service and a $1M audit defense that SoloDesq does not offer. Starter is $10.99/month. Source: everlance.com/pricing, accessed 2026-08-19.

‡ HoneyBook Starter, $29/month billed yearly; month-to-month is higher. Essentials $49, Premium $109. Card fees 2.7% + 10¢. Source: honeybook.com/pricing, accessed 2026-08-19.

Where the other apps are the better choice

This is the part most comparison pages leave out, which is exactly why most comparison pages are not worth reading.

Choose MileIQ

If mileage is the only thing you need to track. It is cheaper than SoloDesq at $13.99/month, has a free tier of 40 drives per month, and has been doing one job for a long time. Buying five tools to use one is a bad trade.

Choose Everlance

If you want your return filed for you. Their Professional plan bundles a filing service and a $1M audit defense at $119.99/year — the same annual figure as SoloDesq, with filing included. SoloDesq keeps the books and leaves filing to you.

Choose HoneyBook

If proposals, contracts and e-signatures are central to how you win work. That is a client-workflow product, and it is good at it. It does not track mileage or business expenses, and it starts at roughly twice the price.

Choose Hurdlr

If you want a free tier for expenses and mileage and do not need invoicing or client records. It is the closest product to SoloDesq in what it covers.

Where SoloDesq is the better choice

Two of these are things no competitor on this page offers at all, and they are not features so much as decisions about how the product treats you.

✓Five tools, one price

Expenses, mileage, invoicing, clients and quarterly taxes share the same numbers. A logged mile becomes a deduction and a paid invoice becomes income without you re-entering anything. The apps that cover this much cost roughly double.

✓Invoices from your own email

Your client sees your name in the From field. Every competitor here sends on their own branded rails, which quietly tells your client which app you bought.

✓Starts with no account

Thirty days with no credit card and no sign-up. Your books live on your phone until you decide otherwise.

✓Date-correct IRS mileage rate

The IRS revised the business rate partway through 2026, so 2026 has two. SoloDesq applies the one that matches each trip date rather than one rate for the year.

The one thing we do not have

A permanent free tier.Hurdlr, MileIQ and Everlance all have one; SoloDesq does not. What we offer instead is thirty days of the entire app with no credit card and no account — and if you stop paying, the app goes read-only rather than locking you out, so you can still export everything.

If a free tier is what decides it for you, that is a fair reason to pick one of them.

Five tools. One price. Thirty days to decide.

No credit card, no account, and your data exports either way.
