Booklet turns the shoebox of receipts into a clean Schedule C — automatically. Built for freelancers, contractors, and sole proprietors who'd rather run their business than do bookkeeping. SNAP IT Photograph a receipt or import a PDF. Booklet's AI reads the vendor, date, subtotal, tax, total, payment method, and every line item — then suggests the right IRS Schedule C category for each one. REVIEW IN SECONDS Tap to confirm or change a category. Confirmed lines roll up into deductible totals by category, so you always know where you stand. One tap confirms a whole receipt. KNOW WHAT YOU OWE See your deductible total for the year, a breakdown by Schedule C category, and a quarterly federal tax estimate based on your projected income and filing status. Track business mileage and Booklet applies the standard IRS rate. EXPORT AT TAX TIME Download a Schedule C CSV grouped by category that drops into TurboTax or hands cleanly to your CPA. WHY BOOKLET • AI extraction — no manual data entry • Schedule C categories suggested for every line • Deductible totals and quarterly tax estimate • Mileage tracking at the IRS standard rate • CSV export for taxes • Your data is encrypted and never sold or used to train public AI models Booklet Pro is an auto-renewable subscription with a 14-day free trial. After the trial it renews monthly or annually until canceled. Manage or cancel any time in your App Store subscription settings. Booklet is a bookkeeping tool, not tax advice. Estimates are for planning; consult a tax professional for filing.

Verdict

The call

The clearest difference is ads: Booklet at none against ServerLife's shown. Booklet also leads on update cadence (every 3 days vs every 3 weeks) and rating (5.0 vs 4.8). ServerLife's advantage is ratings volume (9.4K vs 2) and chart position (#65 vs unranked). On price, in-app purchases and monetization model there is nothing between them.
