Who SnapBooks is for
SnapBooks is designed for sole proprietors and self-employed Canadians who file a T2125 as part of their personal T1 return - freelancers, contractors, consultants, tradespeople, rideshare drivers, and small unincorporated businesses.
If you are incorporated and file a T2 corporate return, SnapBooks is not the right tool. For incorporated businesses, consult your accountant about QuickBooks or Xero.
Common questions
What happened to QuickBooks Self-Employed in Canada?
Intuit launched QuickBooks Lite in July 2026 as the updated entry-level plan at $20/mo. QBSE continues to be supported for existing users. SnapBooks is a simpler, cheaper Canadian-built alternative focused on T2125 record-keeping for sole proprietors.
Is SnapBooks as good as QuickBooks for a freelancer?
For a Canadian sole proprietor filing T2125, SnapBooks covers all the essentials: AI receipt scanning, KM logbook with T2125 actual expense method, invoicing, HST tracking, and a 5-sheet Excel export. QB Lite has bank feeds which SnapBooks does not yet - that is the main gap.
