What are the alternatives to My Locum Manager?

The other locum GP admin apps are GP Locum App, Locum Organiser and NASGP's LocumDeck. All four build invoices and NHS pension Forms A and B from your sessions. Some locums use a spreadsheet with bridging software, or an accountant, instead.

Is there a cheaper alternative to My Locum Manager?

When I checked on 8 October 2026, My Locum Manager was £14.00 a month. Locum Organiser was £15.99 a month, LocumDeck £12 a month plus a fee for each session practices book through Instant Book, and GP Locum App free, with GP Locum Pro at £5.49 a month or £49.99 a year.

Can I move my records from My Locum Manager?

My Locum Manager's Legacy Accountant Report, under Reports & Finances then Taxes, downloads a zip file of your invoiced work. GP Locum App imports that file directly. For the others, ask them how they take records from another app.

My Locum Manager Alternatives for Locum GPs

What My Locum Manager does, what each of the other locum GP apps does differently, and how to take your records with you if you move. Feature by feature, from using each app.

Before you read this: I built GP Locum App, one of the alternatives below. I have no relationship with My Locum Manager, Locum Organiser or NASGP, and I earn nothing if you choose any of them.

Every fact below comes from the provider's own pages or from using each app with a test or member account, with the date I checked it. Where I couldn't confirm a feature, the page says so rather than guessing.

My Locum Manager in brief

My Locum Manager is locum admin software: you add your sessions, and it handles the invoices, pension forms, mileage and a tax and reporting suite. When I checked, it cost £14.00 a month after an 8-week free trial with no card needed.

What it does that not every alternative does:

GP SOLO forms for out-of-hours work, and the Scottish and Northern Irish pension forms
IR35 and agency deductions, and invoices in a limited company's name with a VAT number
A document store that keeps track of expiry dates, and a public profile page
Practices that use it can invite you to shifts or book you instantly
Quarterly downloads for Making Tax Digital, and several reports

What I found missing when I used it on 12 November 2026:

Form B only includes invoices that have been paid
No claim steps or countdown to the 10-week deadline for paying contributions
No import from other locum apps
No app found on Google Play

The alternatives

GP Locum App

The GP Locum app is on iPhone and Android, with a website synced to the phone. The diary, invoices, expenses and mileage log are free, and GP Locum Pro, at £5.49 a month or £49.99 a year, adds the pension forms, the tax set-aside and Making Tax Digital. Form B can go by the month you worked or the month you were paid, a late fee gets its own second Form B, and each claim is tracked against the 10-week deadline. Mileage uses real road routes. It imports My Locum Manager's Legacy Accountant Report directly.

It doesn't do GP SOLO, the Scottish and Northern Irish forms, IR35 deductions or invoices in a limited company's name, and it has no document store or two-factor sign-in yet.

Locum Organiser

Locum Organiser covers much the same ground, at £15.99 a month after a 3-month free trial. It also does GP SOLO and the Scottish and Northern Irish forms and keeps your documents, and adds a report builder, booking confirmations sent with your documents, and a link to Lantum so you can apply for its sessions from your diary. For Making Tax Digital it has a download of each tax year's data rather than quarterly figures.

NASGP's LocumDeck

LocumDeck is a booking platform first: practices see the availability and terms you share and book you through Instant Book. Membership is £12 a month, plus £15 for each half-day session a practice books that way. Practices can sign Form A online, invoices can go out in the name of more than one business, and its quarterly spreadsheets work with 123 Sheets for Making Tax Digital. It has no GP SOLO forms or IR35 deductions. In an area whose ICB pays NASGP for it, it is free.

Side by side

Green means it has the feature, amber partly, and red that it doesn't. Making Tax Digital is green only where the app sends the quarterly updates to HMRC or makes a file for bridging software. The price row runs from green for the cheapest to red for the dearest. On a phone, the table scrolls sideways.

Moving your records from My Locum Manager

Before you cancel, download the invoices and pension forms you have already made, so you have copies whatever you use next.

To bring your sessions and expenses into GP Locum App:

In My Locum Manager, go to Reports & Finances, then Taxes.
Under Legacy Accountant Report, check the dates cover the tax year, then press Download Legacy Accountant Report.
In GP Locum, go to Import, choose My Locum Manager, and choose the zip file it downloaded. There's no need to unzip it.

My Locum Manager only puts invoiced work in that report, so invoice any sessions you've worked first, or add them in GP Locum afterwards. Locum Organiser has a calendar import, and LocumDeck didn't import from other apps when I checked, so ask them first, or plan to start them from the new tax year.
