Vuuv

Review

Vuuv combines contractor bookkeeping with job-costed project accounting and field tools in a freemium business app. It suits contractors who want project finances alongside invoicing, payments and mileage, especially solo operators and small teams. Its strongest case is the range of contract and job-costing tools at a low entry price; team size and monthly e-signature allowances are the key constraints as a business grows.

Overview

Vuuv brings bookkeeping, tax reports, invoicing, payments, mileage tracking and CRM together with project accounting. Projects can track job costs, change orders, retainage, cost codes and project-level profit and loss, with support for fixed-price, time-and-materials, cost-plus and unit-price contracts. That makes Vuuv more relevant to contractors managing project finances than a basic invoicing or mileage app, though its paid construction plans set explicit limits on users and e-signatures.

Key features

Project accounting and billing

Job costing, cost codes and project-level profit and loss help contractors see how a job is performing, while change-order and retainage tracking cover common contract accounting needs. Pro and Elite add AIA-style applications and certificates for payment, including a continuation sheet and project Schedule of Values. Those billing tools make the paid plans the better fit for businesses handling progress billing; they are not included in the free Plus plan.

Field work and AI

Project locations can suggest the current job when recording receipts, attribute mileage and connect GPS-stamped progress photos to a project. Vuuv AI can answer natural-language questions about project books and extract project, cost code, payee and category from receipt images for the user to review. These features can reduce manual sorting, but extracted receipt details still require review.

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 marked as coming soon. Vuuv says integrations use OAuth 2.0, bank connections run through Plaid and connections are read-only where applicable. Firebase stores data with encryption in transit and at rest, and Vuuv identifies that infrastructure as compliant with or certified to SOC 1, SOC 2, SOC 3 and ISO 27001.

Support is offered by email, in-app request and contact form, with typical replies within 24 hours on business days.

Pricing

Vuuv has a free plan, paid plans from $6 a month and a 30-day trial. The plans serve different needs, and the headline entry price is for mileage tracking rather than the project accounting package.

• Plus: Free for good, with unlimited transactions and invoices and estimates, up to three rental units, and five lifetime AI receipt scans before receipt capture becomes photo-only. It suits basic bookkeeping and invoicing, but does not include the listed construction project features.
• Drive Free: No charge, with 40 GPS trips a month and one vehicle. It is a useful mileage option for a single-vehicle operation, but the trip cap makes it less suitable for frequent driving.
• Drive: $6 a month for mileage tracking only, with unlimited GPS trips and vehicles, manual mileage entry and IRS-compliant mileage reports. Choose it for mileage records across a larger fleet; it does not add project accounting.
• Pro: $0 for 30 days, then $1 a month for 3 months, and $12 a month after that. It includes unlimited businesses and properties and transactions, projects, Vuuv AI and bank sync, but only 10 e-signatures a month and one team member. It is the entry point for contractors who need project tools and work alone.
• Elite: $18 a month, with everything in Pro, 25 e-signatures a month and 10 team members. It fits a small crew that needs more users and signing capacity, though the caps remain relevant for larger teams or heavier contract workflows.

Platforms

Vuuv is available on Android, iOS and the web, giving contractors mobile and browser access.

Who it's for

Vuuv names general contractors, remodelers, specialty trades and custom home builders as intended users. Pro is the clearest fit for a solo contractor wanting job costing, contract tools and bookkeeping in one app; Elite extends that setup to a team of up to 10. Businesses needing more team members or e-signatures than those plans allow should weigh that ceiling before committing.

Pros and cons

• Pros: Job costing, retainage, change orders and several contract types suit real project accounting rather than simple income-and-expense tracking.
• Pros: Pro and Elite include AIA-style progress billing materials, a practical advantage for contractors billing against a Schedule of Values.
• Pros: Location-aware receipt and mileage features connect field activity to projects, while AI receipt extraction can prefill coding for review.
• Cons: Pro allows one team member and 10 e-signatures monthly, so even a small operation may need Elite for shared access or more signing volume.
• Cons: Plus and Drive Free have meaningful boundaries: five lifetime AI receipt scans on Plus and 40 GPS trips per month on Drive Free.
• Cons: The $6 a month Drive plan is mileage-only; project accounting starts with Pro at $12 a month after its introductory billing period.

Verdict

Choose Vuuv if you are a solo contractor or small construction team looking to bring bookkeeping, job costing, contract accounting and field records into one app. Its combination of project-level financial tools and AIA-style billing on Pro and Elite is the main reason to choose it. Look elsewhere if your team or signing volume exceeds Elite's 10-member and 25-signature monthly limits, or if you need project accounting at the $6 a month Drive price.
