Tax filing that hunts for freelance write-offs
Keeper connects to the accounts a freelancer actually spends from and proposes deductions transaction by transaction, then files the return at the end of it. A tax professional reviews and signs what gets sent. The pricing is per filing rather than per month, so it is bought once a year and the deduction hunting is what you are paying for in between.
Our note
Priced per filing rather than per month, which is the whole comparison against Wave or FreeAgent. Two hundred dollars once a year suits anybody whose Schedule C is the only return they file. It is poor value for somebody who also needs the books kept in between, and that is a different purchase.

The freelance business in one place
Moxie holds the client list, the proposal, the contract, the time log and the invoice in one account, so a freelancer stops paying four tools that each know a quarter of the job. A scheduler and a light set of books are in there as well. Its own pricing page compares it to Bonsai, Dubsado and HoneyBook, which is a fair statement of who it is up against.
Our note
Against Bonsai the split is that Moxie costs less at the entry tier and Bonsai has the deeper contract library. Pick Moxie if the client portal matters and Bonsai if the paperwork does.
