Pros & Cons
AccountView
Pros
- Deployment is flexible: run it on your own Windows server, through a hosting partner, or as AccountView Online.
- Team and Business both include unlimited administrations, which helps groups and accounting practices.
- The modular bundles cover trade, inventory, projects and hours, so it stretches beyond pure bookkeeping.
- The vendor cites 89 integrations, including Visma AutoInvoice, Approval, UBL e-invoicing, Nmbrs and CaseWare.
- A Web API and third-party connectors such as Invantive give access to the data for BI tools like Power BI.
Cons
- It is expensive: Team starts at 137.50 euros per month, and invoicing alone costs another 55 euros per month.
- The legacy FoxPro-based architecture creates a new administration for each fiscal year, which complicates master data, according to Zenvoices.
- It is aimed only at the Dutch market and the Dutch language.
- Some features, such as the audit trail and automatic payments, need extra modules.
- There is little public user review coverage on G2, Capterra or SourceForge.
Fortnox
Pros
- More than 500 integrations, and one 189 kr licence covers all of them.
- A single platform covers bookkeeping, invoicing, payroll, supplier invoice approval, payments and a company card, which suits Swedish SMEs.
- Accounting firms get a dedicated bureau package for working in their clients' books.
- New companies get six months free, and every new subscription has a 30-day open purchase period.
- Trustpilot and Shopify app reviewers frequently praise customer service and sync reliability.
Cons
- Usage fees for invoices, paid employees and interpretations, plus an Access fee that scales with activity, make total cost hard to predict.
- Three-month agreements cost 15 percent more than the 12-month list prices.
- The product is Swedish-focused, and users have asked for an English interface.
- Some users call the reporting tools dated and say neobank integrations such as Revolut are missing.
