Free to use. Built to protect your earnings.
Join the Tidy FEE FREE movement!
The Tidy App is an all-in-one system for self-employed people to manage daily admin, take payments, and do your accounts – we include QuickBooks for FREE – all in one place, on your phone!
Most payment platforms and apps charge in one of two ways:
- A monthly subscription - whether you earn or not
- Or a transaction fee deducted from your payout
These costs add up over time and reduce your margin. That’s why we’ve designed Tidy to be free to use, to protect your earnings.
Tidy is different – when your customer pays you by Tap to Pay or via the payment link on your invoice, the total they see automatically includes the transaction fee in addition to your cost to do the work.
Transaction fees are included in the total on each invoice and payment link sent – so your customers only see the total including the fee.

Tidy is designed to reduce pain points for self-employed people by helping you to stay organised and run your business with minimal stress and minimal overheads.
Here’s how Tidy saves you time and money:

How payments work:
Tidy leverages Stripe to power secure payment processing.
Payout timing
First payout: typically 7-14 days after your first payment
This allows Stripe to complete the required identity, bank, and regulatory checks.
After your first payout
You move to a rolling daily payout schedule.
Funds typically arrive in your bank within 3–7 working days
Payout speeds can vary slightly depending on your bank, industry, and account activity.
How transaction fees work:
To accept payments through Tidy, our login process seamlessly links you to a Stripe account – this ensures secure payment processing.
For each payment accepted via the The Tidy App:
Stripe – card processing fee of 20p + 1.5%
Tidy – transaction fee of 1.4%
When your customer pays by card or via the invoice link, your customers only see the total including the fee:
2.9% + 20p per transaction
