## Ways to pay less

- **About 23% off with annual billing** (Annual discount): The pricing page shows an annual-billing saving of about 23% against paying monthly, for example Team at $38 against $49 a month. Source: https://getuku.com/pricing/

## Key features

- **Task and workflow management:** Recurring work is planned as tasks and projects with workflow automations, a calendar and team collaboration tools.
- **Time tracking and billing:** Time tracking feeds automated billing, and the Elite plan adds payment links and client budgeting.

- **Email management:** Email can be sent and received from inside Uku through Gmail or Microsoft 365.

## Good for

- Accounting firms that bill by time or recurring fees
- Solo accountants with up to 20 active clients
- Firms outside the US: prices are also shown in euros and pounds

## Worth knowing

- Solo is capped at 1 member and 20 active clients.
- BI analytics, public API, e-signatures and Zapier need Elite at $48 per member / month, billed annually.
- Annual billing saves about 23% against monthly, which carries a higher per-member price.
- Email triage, capacity planning and proposals are listed on the roadmap, not as live features.

## ToolGPA grades

**GPA: 2.2 out of 4**, graded Nov 13, 2026. Uku is practice management for accounting firms, covering tasks, time, billing and a client portal. Solo is $19 a month but capped at 20 active clients, and e-signatures, the API and Zapier need Elite at $48 per member.

- **Free plan and trial: C.** A 14-day trial of Elite with no card, and no free plan.
- **Features: C.** Tasks, time tracking, billing, a client portal and email management are there, but the listing puts email triage, capacity planning and proposals on the roadmap.
- **Ease of use: C.** A web app with workflows and automations to configure, and no store rating on record.

## Keep it, or make your own?

**Keep it.** To replace Uku you would be making connections to other products, each kept working as those products change. That is not a weekend's work, with an AI app builder or without one. It costs $228 a year.

- You could make: Tasks, time tracking, invoicing and reports: an app builder makes these well.
- You could not: Connections to other products, each kept working as those products change.
- You could not: Sharing with other people, which means accounts and invitations.
