Comparison

DeductiBee vs ItsDeducted

ItsDeducted has the easiest free start in this category: no credit card, no trial clock, AI item valuation and photo upload included, up to a $750 cap on total tracked donation value. It also cites IRS Publication 561 as the basis for its values, which is more than most of this field does and which we will not pretend otherwise about. What it does not have is an iPhone app, stored photos, or a named source behind any of its numbers. Everything below was read from their own pages on August 9, 2026.

Free tierThe caps measure different things. Ours counts items; theirs counts dollars, so a single good sofa can use up most of their free tier.	20 new item entries a year, with unlimited donation events, import, and viewing, and no cap on the value of what you track	No credit card and no trial clock, with AI valuation and photo upload included, capped at $750 in total tracked donation value plus one 50-item list import
Is there an iPhone app	Yes, a native app from the App Store	No. Their pages describe a web app used on desktop, tablet, and mobile, with an Android download on Google Play. Apple users go through the browser, as of August 9, 2026.
Android	Not supported	A downloadable app on Google Play
Working offline	Fully offline. Records live on the device, so logging at a drop-off needs no signal.	A hosted web app with server-side AI valuation, so a connection is required
Where records live	On your iPhone, syncing only through your own private iCloud database	On their servers. Photo backup is a Pro feature.
Where the values come fromThey cite the same IRS methodology we do. The difference is that DeductiBee shows the specific published guide behind each range in the app, rather than naming the methodology once.	Ranges derived from published thrift-store valuation guides and the methodology in IRS Publication 561, with the source shown next to every range	They state values are based on IRS Publication 561 fair market value guidance plus current resale-market context, applied by AI from your photos, and editable before saving
How you enter a donation	Pick from the catalog, or add a whole bag at once by condition tier and quantity	Photograph the item and their AI identifies it and applies an estimated value, which you review and edit
Condition tiers	Like new, Good, Fair, priced separately for every item	Three different schemes on their own pages as of August 9, 2026: their category pages use Good and Like-New, their item pages use New-Like New, Good, Fair, and a Poor tier priced at $0, and one blog post lists worn, good, very good, and excellent
Donation types	Items, cash, mileage, and volunteer out-of-pocket expenses	Items, cash, and volunteer mileage
Photo evidenceWorth reading twice: the photo is analyzed and discarded. In an audit, the photo is the evidence.	Photos on items and on the drop-off receipt, on the free tier	Their Trust page FAQ states the product "only uses uploaded photos for item identification at the time they are uploaded and does not store these photos." Keeping photos means connecting Google Photos, a Pro feature.
Form 8283 worksheet	A worksheet in Section A layout, with the acquisition and cost-basis fields prompted above $500	Detailed PDF reports on Pro. We did not find a Form 8283 worksheet described on their pages as of August 9, 2026.
Exports	Form 8283 worksheet PDF, CSV, TXF, a receipt PDF with signature lines, and a manual-entry summary for TurboTax Online	TXF on the free tier; PDF reports and Excel are Pro. No Form 8283 worksheet and no CSV export are described on their export page.
Raw data export	Free on every tier, permanently, including after a subscription lapses	TXF is free, but TXF is a tax-software handoff, not your data. Spreadsheet export sits on Pro, and their own export page lists the free tier's alternatives as a "copy-and-paste fallback" and a "print-screen fallback," as of August 9, 2026.

The honest part

Where ItsDeducted is genuinely ahead

Their free tier asks for less up front than ours: no credit card, no trial clock, and AI photo valuation included from the first minute. If you want to try an AI donation tracker without paying anyone anything, they are an honest recommendation and we will make it. The fine print is the cap: free tracking stops at $750 in total donation value, where DeductiBee's free tier caps new item entries at 20 a year with no cap on value. A donor with a couch and a dining set crosses $750 in one afternoon.

They also cite IRS Publication 561 as the basis for their values, which is the same methodology DeductiBee cites. Most of this category names no source at all, so it would be unfair to lump them in with that. The remaining difference is granularity: DeductiBee shows the specific published thrift-valuation guide behind each individual range, rather than naming the methodology once at the product level.

Which one

Which is right for you

DeductiBee is the better fit if

You want a native iPhone app rather than a browser tab on your phone.
You want to log a bag at the drop-off with no signal and no sign-in.
You want your raw data exportable for free, forever, not behind a paid tier.
You want a Form 8283 worksheet laid out the way the form asks.
You want the specific valuation guide shown next to each range, not just the methodology named once.

ItsDeducted is the better fit if

You want to try AI photo valuation with no card and no trial clock, and your year stays under $750 in tracked value.
You are on Android.
You share donation tracking with a spouse or household.
You mainly work at a desktop.

Bottom line: ItsDeducted has the easiest free start in this category and the only Android app of the trackers that take valuation seriously, with a $750 value cap waiting under the free tier. DeductiBee's case against it is narrow and concrete: a native iPhone app that works offline, records and photos that live on your phone instead of their servers (their Trust page says uploaded photos are not stored at all), a real Form 8283 worksheet, one consistent condition-tier scheme, and raw export that is free on every tier rather than gated behind Pro.

FAQ

Questions people actually ask

Does ItsDeducted have an iPhone app?

No native one as of August 9, 2026. Their pages describe a web application used on desktop, tablet, and mobile, and an Android app available from Google Play. iPhone users access it through Safari or Chrome. It works, and it is a different thing from an App Store app in terms of offline behavior and where your records sit.

Is ItsDeducted really free?

Up to a point, and the point is $750. The free tier requires no credit card and includes AI-powered item valuation, photo upload, TXF export, and access on desktop, tablet, and mobile, but it is capped at $750 in total tracked donation value plus one list import of up to 50 items. Pro is $2.50 a month billed annually at $29, and adds unlimited tracked value, list imports, Google Photos backup, detailed PDF reports, Excel export, and multi-user household support. Checked August 9, 2026.

Is ItsDeducted the same as ItsDeductible?

No, and they are not connected. ItsDeductible was Intuit's donation tracker, discontinued on October 21, 2025. ItsDeducted is a separate, independent product with a deliberately similar name, built to catch people searching for the one that closed. It launched in March 2026 as a rebrand of a product called Deduct It (deductit.ai); an import-feature URL and a leftover link to the old app domain were still live on their site when we checked. Worth knowing before you assume your old data or account carries over: it does not, though they do import spreadsheet files.

Which is cheaper, DeductiBee or ItsDeducted?

It depends on what you track. Their paid tier is $29 a year against DeductiBee's $19.99, so DeductiBee's annual plan is cheaper, and the $59.99 lifetime purchase is cheaper than either after three years. On free tiers, theirs stops at $750 in tracked value and ours at 20 new item entries a year, so a low-value, many-item year is cheaper with them and a high-value year hits their cap first. Free raw-data export is on every DeductiBee tier and behind their Pro tier.

Do both use IRS Publication 561?

Both cite it, which is more than most of this category can say. They describe values based on Publication 561 guidance plus current resale-market context, applied by AI from your photos. DeductiBee derives ranges from published thrift-store valuation guides using the Publication 561 methodology and shows the specific guide next to each range in the app. Same rulebook, different levels of visible provenance.

Can I move from ItsDeducted to DeductiBee?

Most cleanly from their Pro tier, which is where spreadsheet (Excel) export lives; DeductiBee imports a generic CSV or spreadsheet with a column-mapping step, free on every tier. Their free tier exports TXF, which is a tax-software handoff rather than a records file, and their export page's other free options are copy-and-paste and a screenshot. Going the other way, DeductiBee's raw CSV export is free on every tier, so nothing you enter here is trapped.
