Ledger included

Uncat works inside books you already pay for: it syncs to and from QuickBooks Online, QuickBooks Desktop and Xero, and none of those subscriptions is part of its $9 fee.

What the price is based on

Billing is a flat $9 per client file per month, not per user, per transaction or per dollar of spending, and adding a client changes the bill automatically.

Users included

Every client file includes as many firm users and client users as you want, and the vendor states coworkers cost nothing extra, so the price never rises with headcount.

You can invite as many coworkers as you'd like at no additional cost.

Catching up past months

It will pull in older months so you can clean them up, but that history costs extra and Uncat only gathers client answers rather than doing the catch-up work itself.

Categorizes transactions

The vendor claims it pre-labels expenses from past patterns and client behavior, but the point of the product is asking the client, and a person still approves what lands in the books.

Reconciles your accounts
