One price. Five tools. No add-ons.
Most apps do one of these and expect you to pay for the rest somewhere else. SoloDesq does all five for one flat price — and they share the same numbers, so a logged mile becomes a deduction without you re-entering anything.
- Everything below — no per-invoice or per-mile fees
- Unlimited invoices and clients
- Face ID app lock
- Cancel anytime from your App Store settings
Billed through your Apple App Store account. Your data stays yours — if the subscription lapses, paid screens lock — but you can still export your records or delete everything.

Questions about billing
What happens after the 30 free days?
Paid screens lock until you subscribe. Nothing is deleted, and you can still export your records or erase them from the phone.
Do I need a credit card to start?
No. The free period runs on the device with no card and no account.
Do I need an account at all?
Not for the 30 free days — expenses, mileage, invoices, clients, tax estimates and exports all work signed out. An account is needed to subscribe, and for the three features that run on Google’s servers: receipt text recognition, AI categorization and the AI assistant.
Where do my books live, and what if I lose my phone?
On your phone, and only there. SoloDesq keeps your books in a file on the device rather than on our servers — that is why it works with no account and no signal. This version has no SoloDesq cloud backup, so we hold no copy of your books and cannot restore them to a new phone. If you lose the phone, your books go with it unless your iPhone’s own backup (iCloud Backup or a backup to a computer) was switched on — SoloDesq does not exclude your books, receipt photos or saved invoice PDFs from it. Our advice is unglamorous: keep that backup on, and export once a quarter from More → Data export — an Excel workbook and a Schedule C totals CSV, which need no account — and save or send those files somewhere off the phone. Exports do not include receipt photos or invoice PDFs.
Does SoloDesq file my taxes for me?
No. It keeps the books so the numbers are ready, and you file with whoever you already use. Some mileage apps bundle a filing service at a higher annual price.
Is the annual plan worth it?
$119.99 a year saves a third against paying monthly — about four months’ worth. Same features either way — start monthly if you are not sure.
