Rounded review

Rounded is invoicing, expense and tax software aimed at Australian sole traders. It combines quotes and invoices, expense tracking, time tracking, tax estimates and reports in one service. You can create branded quotes and invoices, accept online payments, set up recurring invoices and send automatic reminders for overdue bills. Tracked hours can be assigned to clients or projects and then invoiced.

For expenses, Rounded lets you record income and spending, keep receipt photos and reconcile transactions in bulk. Its tax tools cover tax estimates, GST tracking, BAS calculations and income, expense and profit-and-loss reports. You can also share information with your accountant. Rounded Trax is a separate vehicle-kilometre tracking app for iOS and Android.

The pricing page lists Starter at $23.95 per month or $264.95 annually, and Pro at $29.95 per month or $329.95 annually. Annual billing is advertised as one month free. There is a 14-day free trial, but no free plan.

Rounded’s appeal is its focus: it brings common sole-trader admin together without presenting itself as a general-purpose accounting platform. Quotes, invoices, expenses, time tracking and tax reports sit within the same product, so billable hours and recurring expenses can feed into ordinary invoicing and record keeping.

The plan split is clear. Starter includes custom quotes and invoices, time tracking, recurring invoices and expenses, tax estimates and tax-ready reports. For a sole trader who does not need the listed Pro features, that covers a useful set of day-to-day tasks at the lower price.

Pro is the more relevant option for GST-registered businesses. It adds a bank feed, AI expense categorisation, automatic GST tracking and pre-filled BAS, according to the pricing page. Those are meaningful accounting workflow features, not just cosmetic upgrades. Rounded also supports online payments, overdue reminders, receipt photos, bulk transaction reconciliation and secure accountant sharing, based on the published product details.

The separate Trax app extends the product to vehicle kilometres on iOS and Android. That may suit sole traders who need to keep vehicle records alongside invoicing and tax administration, rather than use an unrelated tracking tool.

The main pricing catch is that the more automated GST and BAS features are reserved for Pro. Starter includes tax estimates and tax-ready reports, but the pricing page lists automatic GST tracking and pre-filled BAS only with Pro. That makes the advertised Starter price less relevant if those workflows are the reason you are switching.

The published pricing details do not publish caps for invoices, clients, users, receipt storage, bank-feed transactions or time tracking. We would confirm those limits with Rounded before migrating records or committing to an annual plan; the available details do not establish whether any are unlimited. The plan descriptions also do not specify which online payment providers are supported or their fees.

The listed prices are in USD, even though Rounded is positioned for Australian sole traders, so check the checkout price and currency before comparing it with an Australian-dollar alternative. There is no free plan, only a 14-day trial. And while the feature set covers invoicing, expenses, tax and BAS, the published details do not describe broader accounting capabilities beyond those tasks. If you need software outside that scope, do not assume Rounded includes it.

The published pricing lists Starter at $23.95 per month or $264.95 billed annually, and Pro at $29.95 per month or $329.95 annually. Prices are listed in USD in the published data. Annual billing works out to about $22.08 and $27.50 per month, respectively. Rounded advertises the annual option as one month free, though the listed totals don’t exactly equal 11 monthly payments: they’re $1.50 higher for Starter and $0.50 higher for Pro.

Pro costs $6 more per month on monthly billing, or about $5.42 more per month at the annual rates. It adds a bank feed, AI expense categorisation, automatic GST tracking and pre-filled BAS to Starter’s quotes, invoices, time tracking and tax estimates. If you need those GST and BAS tools, budget for Pro; they aren’t listed for Starter.

There’s no free plan, but the pricing lists a 14-day trial. No add-ons are listed in the published pricing.

The published material doesn’t document import tools, migration assistance, supported export formats or cancellation terms. Before switching, ask Rounded what you can bring across and what you can export if you leave. Check specifically for the records you need—such as invoices, expenses, receipt images, contacts and tax reports—rather than assuming they transfer in a usable format.

If you’re moving from Rounded, save any available records and reconcile open invoices, expenses and tax figures in your next system. The published material also doesn’t establish whether Rounded has lock-in beyond its listed monthly and annual billing options, so confirm renewal and cancellation details directly before choosing an annual plan.

We weren’t given Reddit posts or comments for this review, so we can’t responsibly say what users there commonly cite as a reason for leaving Rounded. Treat migration and export details as questions to verify, not established product limits.
