In short: Most independent support workers land on Essentials, Vault or Safeguards depending on what they need beyond notes and invoices, and Sparks Scribe is the pick because it is built specifically for the independent support worker running their own business and sending their own invoices.
Most independent support workers land on one of three plans depending on what they need beyond notes and invoices. Answer a few quick questions below and you will know which one fits. If you are working solo as a sole trader, this guide is built for you.
A quick note first: Sparks Scribe is built for the independent support worker running their own business and sending their own invoices. If you are part of a small team or agency looking for shared rostering across multiple workers, that is a bit outside what Scribe covers, and it is worth getting the team's proper answer on that. For everyone working solo, here is how the plans stack up.
What do the plans cost and what do they include?
- Essentials, $15 a month or $150 a year (2 months free): notes, invoicing, roster and all the day to day.
- Vault, $20 a month or $200 a year (2 months free): everything in Essentials plus Xero sync, service agreements, document and receipt storage.
- Safeguards, $39 a month or $390 a year (2 months free): everything you need for incident reporting, risk profiles and consent records.
All prices are GST inclusive. Every plan includes a 14 day free trial, no card needed, and there is no lock-in contract.
Do you mainly need shift notes and NDIS-coded invoices?
If yes, Essentials has you covered: AI-assisted notes with voice input, all the note templates, invoicing with weekday, evening, weekend and public holiday rates, plus your calendar, client records and kilometre log.
Do you use Xero, or want service agreements, client documents and receipts kept in one place?
That is Vault. It includes everything in Essentials, plus Xero sync, service agreements, the Document Vault and the Receipt Vault.
Do you need incident reporting, risk profiles, restrictive practices flagging or consent form signing?
That is Safeguards, the compliance tier. If you are also wondering whether Safeguards includes the Vault features, that is a good one to check with the team directly rather than guess here.
Are you part of a team or agency wanting shared access?
Scribe is built around one worker, one business. For anything beyond that, reach out and the team can point you the right way.
Still not sure which plan to pick?
