A Mipp alternative for practices that need to chase clients and prove the filing.
Mipp is a simple, low-cost UK CRM with an accountancy workspace that schedules a year of client deadlines. FilingKeeper overlaps on those deadlines and then goes further on the filing itself: blockers, client chasing and proof.
Every Mipp fact below was read from Mipp's own site on the date shown. Where we could not find something on its pages, we say so instead of assuming it is missing.
The same starting point: dates from the client's details.
Both products ask for a client's year end, VAT scheme and payroll details once and turn them into dated UK deadlines, grouped into overdue, due this week and later. Both say plainly that you still check and file yourself. If a dated list is all you need, either will do it.
FilingKeeper shows the statutory rule and GOV.UK source behind every date, and its Risk Center puts blocked filings at the top, ahead of overdue ones, because a filing waiting on a client is the one most likely to slip.
Where Mipp is the stronger fit.
Choose Mipp if you work alone and want the lowest price, or if you want a sales pipeline relabelled for a practice, an 11-step onboarding checklist covering AML, engagement letters and 64-8, retainer tracking and practice-side reminders such as PII renewal. Mipp also lists CIS returns and auto-enrolment re-declarations, which FilingKeeper does not track.
FilingKeeper has no CRM or pipeline and does not plan to add one.
Where FilingKeeper is the stronger fit.
Choose FilingKeeper if more than one person works the filings: every plan includes at least two users, and on Professional and Business each filing can have an owner. Choose it if the slow part of your month is waiting on clients: it records why a filing is blocked, sends a loginless upload link for the one missing document, and chases on a schedule that stops when the document arrives.
And choose it if you need to show the work was done: the receipt or confirmation stays beside the filing, with a printable proof pack and a full activity trail.

Questions about choosing a Mipp alternative.
They overlap on deadlines. Both turn a client's year end, VAT and payroll details into a schedule of UK deadlines grouped by urgency. Mipp adds a sales pipeline, onboarding checklists and retainer tracking as a CRM. FilingKeeper adds what happens after a deadline is known: why it is blocked, chasing the client for the missing document, and keeping proof once you have filed.
Mipp. Its Starter plan is £19 a month for one person and Mipp says prices include VAT. FilingKeeper starts at £39 a month for up to 40 clients and two users. If you work alone and do not need client chasing or filing proof, Mipp costs less.
Mipp says each account has one sign-in today, with team logins coming soon. FilingKeeper plans include 2, 5 or unlimited users, and on Professional and Business each filing can have its own owner.
FilingKeeper sends the client a loginless upload link for the missing document, with scheduled chasers that stop once it arrives. We did not find document requests or client chasing described on Mipp's pages; Mipp does have a "Waiting on client" status.
You can add clients by hand, or by CSV on the Business plan. FilingKeeper does not import from Mipp automatically. Start with a few clients and check the dates against your current records.
