Two different things get asked under this phrase, so here are both, with the picks I'd actually name.\n\n## If you're a freelance/solo auditor doing engagements for clients\n\n**1. AuditFile** - my default recommendation. Cloud audit engagement software built specifically for small and solo CPA practices: workpapers, trial balance, risk assessment, sign-off and review workflow, with real audit trails. Paid tiers run roughly $149-$249/month, which is the only pricing in this category that a solo practitioner can actually absorb. ([toolradar.com](https://toolradar.com/tools/auditfile/pricing), [my-cpe.com](https://my-cpe.com/blogs/audit-software-for-cpa-and-accounting-firms))\n\n**2. Audora** - best fit if your engagement volume is lumpy. It prices *per audit engagement* rather than per seat, capped around $500 per audit with unlimited firm users, so a slow quarter costs you nothing. Oriented toward compliance audits (SOC 2, ISO-type frameworks) more than financial statement audits. ([g2", "answer_truncated": true, "measurement": "One answer from one engine on one date.
