Vuuv

Overview

Vuuv combines bookkeeping, tax reports, invoicing, payments, mileage tracking and CRM with job-costed projects. Projects handle change orders, retainage, cost codes and project-level profit and loss, and support fixed-price, time-and-materials, cost-plus and unit-price contracts. That breadth is useful for contractors tracking project economics alongside everyday business finances, rather than for buyers seeking only an invoicing or mileage app.

Key features

Project accounting and billing

Job costing, cost codes and project-level profit and loss help connect project spending to profitability; change-order and retainage tracking cover important contract accounting needs. Pro and Elite add AIA-style applications and certificates for payment, with a continuation sheet and project Schedule of Values. Contractors handling progress billing will need one of those plans; the free Plus plan does not include these construction features.

Field records and AI

Project locations can suggest which job to assign to a receipt, connect mileage to a project and associate GPS-stamped progress photos with project records. Vuuv AI can answer natural-language questions about project books and extract project, cost code, payee and category from receipt images for review. Those tools can help organize field information, though extracted receipt details still require a user check.

Integrations and security

Live integrations include Plaid, eBay, Stripe, SignWell, Amazon Seller Central, Apple App Store and Google Play Store; Etsy, Square, Patreon, Upwork and YouTube are coming soon. Vuuv says integrations use OAuth 2.0, bank connections run through Plaid, and connections are read-only where applicable. Its privacy policy says Firebase stores data encrypted in transit and at rest, and identifies SOC 1, SOC 2, SOC 3 and ISO 27001 compliance or certification for that infrastructure.

Pricing

Vuuv has a free plan, a 30-day trial and paid plans from $6/mo. The plans split business bookkeeping, mileage and construction project work, so the right choice depends on whether a contractor needs project accounting or just a narrower tool.

Plus is a strong no-cost starting point for bookkeeping and invoicing, but its AI receipt scans stop at five for the life of the plan and it lacks the project features listed for Pro. Drive Free is a narrow mileage option with a monthly trip cap and one vehicle; Drive removes both limits, but does not include the broader bookkeeping or project package. Pro is the entry point for projects and progress billing, although one team member and 10 monthly e-signatures constrain its fit for collaborative work. Elite raises those caps to 10 team members and 25 e-signatures per month. Pro's introductory billing is unusually low before it reaches $12 a month; Elite is $18 a month.

Platforms

Vuuv is available on Android, iOS and the web, supporting access across mobile devices and browsers.

Who it's for

General contractors, remodelers, specialty trades and custom home builders are the clearest fit, particularly those who want project accounting and field records alongside business bookkeeping. Solo contractors can start with Plus or choose Pro for projects; small teams needing progress billing can consider Elite, while larger teams should weigh its 10-member cap and e-signature allowance carefully. Businesses that need only mileage may find Drive a more direct choice, while those wanting free bookkeeping without construction project work can remain on Plus.

Pros and cons

• Pro: Project accounting covers job costing, change orders, retainage, cost codes and project-level profit and loss, giving contractors tools to follow job finances.
• Pro: Pro and Elite include AIA-style payment applications and certificates with a continuation sheet and Schedule of Values, a practical fit for progress billing.
• Pro: The free Plus plan includes unlimited transactions and invoices and estimates, making it useful for basic business bookkeeping without a subscription.
• Con: Pro allows only one team member and 10 e-signatures per month; even Elite is capped at 10 team members and 25 monthly e-signatures.
• Con: Plus allows only five lifetime AI receipt scans before requiring photo handling, limiting its usefulness for users who want ongoing scan-based receipt capture.
• Con: Drive Free's 40 monthly GPS trips and one-vehicle limit may not suit users with frequent travel or multiple vehicles.

Verdict

Vuuv is a compelling fit for solo contractors and small construction businesses that want job costing, contract accounting and field records alongside bookkeeping, especially if they need progress billing. Its free plan makes basic invoicing and transactions accessible, and Pro adds substantial project capability at $12 a month after its introductory billing. Look elsewhere if your team needs more than 10 members or your monthly e-signature needs exceed Elite's 25.
