Why ADIs are switching
Making Tax Digital built in
Total Drive handles MTD by syncing to separate accounting software. Orbit is built on HMRC's MTD for Income Tax API itself and totals your quarterly updates from your records. Live submissions open once HMRC approves Orbit.
No monthly subscription
Orbit is free for instructors: no subscription, no contract, no card needed. Total Drive is from £18 per month after its 30-day free trial.
Bring your lessons too
Settings → Import reads a Total Drive export directly and brings your pupils and their lessons across: dates, times, status, rates and notes.
