## Ways to pay less

- **Half-price upgrade from Soulver 3** (Other savings): Buyers of Soulver 3 on the App Store get Soulver 4 for $29 instead of $59, and a registered direct-download copy of Soulver 3 on the same Mac unlocks the same 50% discount. Source: https://documentation.soulver.app/

## Key features

- **Answer column:** A sheet works like a notepad: write words and numbers on a line and the answer appears alongside it as you type, with a floating total for the whole sheet at the bottom.
- **Line references, variables and subtotals:** An answer can be referenced on later lines and updates when earlier lines change. Multi-word variables, subtotals and totals of every line carrying a tag are supported.
- **Currencies, units and dates:** Recognizes 190 currencies, more than 200 units, percentages, calendar and clock-time math and time zones, with functions for sales tax, loans, interest and inflation.
- **Live data:** Pulls live and historical currency and stock prices and weather into a sheet. Access to 150k+ stocks and inline Wolfram|Alpha queries needs the optional data services subscription.
- **iCloud sync and export:** Sheets sync through iCloud across Mac, iPad and iPhone with automatic backups. They are plain text and can be exported to PDF, printed or sent as a styled HTML email.
- **Automation and command line:** A Shortcuts action, URL schemes, macOS Services and an Alfred workflow connect Soulver to other tools. A free standalone command-line tool can create and edit sheets.

## Good for

- Working through multi-step sums with notes beside the numbers
- People with a Mac, iPad and iPhone who want one purchase for all three
- Trip budgets, quotes and split expenses that mix dates, currencies and totals

## Worth knowing

- Apple platforms only: it requires macOS 14, iPadOS 17 or iOS 17 or later, and the site lists no Windows, Android or web version.
- There is no free plan. After the 60-day trial, sheets can still be viewed and exported, but creating and editing them requires a purchase.
- Access to 150k+ stocks, Wolfram|Alpha queries and advanced weather data costs a separate $26 a year on the App Store.
- Major versions are paid upgrades, which the vendor says have averaged seven years apart; Soulver 3 owners get Soulver 4 at half price.
