CropBook review
A free Canadian farm ledger with receipt scanning and CRA-ready exports.
Reviewed by iTechGuides Editors · Editorial team · Updated Oct 2026
CropBook is bookkeeping software for Canadian grain farmers who need organized records for tax preparation and farm programs. It scans receipts, extracts vendor, amount, date, and GST details, then classifies transactions to CRA T2042 box codes. The farm ledger tracks income, expenses, and net position, with filters for year, category, or date range. The service is available on the web and iPhone, making it suitable for small farms that want a focused digital recordkeeping workflow.
The published offering has one Free plan, currently provided at no charge. It includes receipt scanning, CRA T2042 classification, the farm ledger, GST/HST tracking, and income tracking for AgriStability and AgriInvest. The plan also supports XLSX farm-book exports, CSV and QBO-compatible exports, and receipt ZIP archives organized by box code. That combination gives farmers several ways to share records with an accountant or move information into another bookkeeping process. Terms also allow paid tiers to be introduced in the future, so its long-term pricing structure may change.
CropBook’s strongest fit is basic Canadian farm bookkeeping where tax categorization, receipt organization, and straightforward reporting matter more than operational depth. Its focus on grain-farm records keeps the workflow centered on receipts, income, expenses, GST/HST, and program-related income. Farms seeking crop, livestock, inventory, or enterprise accounting should choose a broader farm-management or accounting product instead. Choose CropBook for a free, tax-oriented ledger and export workflow; avoid it when the farm needs detailed production or inventory accounting.
