One product, one paid tier, no upsells and no add-ons. The free tier is where the habit is built, and the paywall sits on new capacity and on the paperwork, never on your own records.
$0
No trial to start and nothing to cancel. Logging stays free for as long as you use it.
$19.99/yr
About $1.67 a month, billed once a year.

$59.99 once
Roughly 3 years of the annual plan, then nothing.
Plans are purchased in the app through your Apple Account, and prices are set by the App Store, which confirms the exact amount before you subscribe. Subscriptions renew until you cancel, from Settings on your iPhone.
Free to start. No account, on any tier.
The paywall is on new capacity and on outputs. It is not on the valuation guide, not on importing, not on reading your own history, and not on getting your data back out.

The valuation dataset is the product, and a dataset is not a thing you build once. Values move, categories change, and a guide that quietly ages is worse than no guide at all, because it produces a number you would then have to defend. DeductiBee ships a new versioned edition each year, with every range carrying the source it was derived from and the methodology in IRS Publication 561 behind it. The subscription is what pays for that work.
The rules around the numbers move too. The Form 8283 filing threshold, the appraisal line above it, the receipt rules underneath both, the statutory charitable mileage rate, and, for tax year 2026, a deduction for people who do not itemize whose details are still being settled in guidance. A record-keeping tool that stops tracking those becomes a liability at exactly the moment you need it.
There is no second revenue line. No advertising, no analytics, no data to sell, and no third-party SDK in the app or on this site. Subscriptions are the whole business model, which is the arrangement that keeps our incentives pointed at the person paying rather than at someone buying access to them.
On what it is worth: the comparison that matters is not other apps, it is the deduction. If you itemize, documenting a few thousand dollars of donated goods generally produces a deduction of a few thousand dollars. What that is worth in tax depends on your bracket and on whether your itemized total beats your standard deduction at all, which is a calculation this page is not going to do for you. If you take the standard deduction, a bag of clothing generally changes your federal bill by nothing, and the non-itemizer guide explains the narrow 2026 exception, which is cash-only. What a subscription buys is not the number, it is being able to show where the number came from.
And if a subscription is simply not how you want to buy software, take the $59.99 lifetime option. It is listed beside the others on purpose. Whichever you choose, the promise underneath is the same one on the privacy page: the records are yours, they are on your device, and the export is free forever.
More on what DeductiBee does on the overview, what the free tier is actually pricing in the donation value guide, how it stacks up against the alternatives on the comparison pages, who builds it on the about page, and the legal terms of the subscription in the terms.
The free tier documents a real donation run. The paperwork is there when you need it.
Free to start. Pro is $19.99 a year, $2.99 a month, or $59.99 once.
