Which one you should actually buy.
Pick Driversnote
Mileage is the only thing you need to track, you are reimbursed at a rate rather than deducting costs, or you need a team of drivers on one account.
Pick Claimable
The drives are one input to a return with expenses, GST and depreciation in it, and you want the percentage to land on Chart A rather than in an export.
What Claimable does not do
- No live bank feed. Receipts and income are captured, not reconciled against a bank connection.
- No double-entry ledger, no payroll, no accounts payable.
- It does not NETFILE. It produces the T2125, the CCA schedule, the GST/HST figures and the receipts behind them; you or your accountant file them.
- The iPhone app is early. Claimable runs in any browser today.
