- A cheap, no-login client experience for that one task is what you want.
When to choose LucaLedger

- You want the whole engagement, books, return, planning, portal, in one place.
Migrating from Uncat
There's nothing to migrate, Uncat is a micro-tool on top of your ledger. In LucaLedger, uncategorized items are simply part of the AI bookkeeping workflow, so the separate $9/client subscription goes away.
