Pros & Cons
Agenda
Pros
- Covers German compliance tasks in one package: ELSTER VAT returns, E-Bilanz, Bundesanzeiger filing and GoBD-compliant cash books.
- DATEV-style booking logic and DATEV interfaces make it easy to work with tax advisors and to switch from DATEV.
- Computerwoche calls it a full-featured and cheaper alternative to DATEV for SMEs.
- The expert hotline is free in every package, and the hosted ASP option includes backups and updates in a German data center.
- Cost center and cost unit accounting with contribution margin analysis are built in.
Cons
- Built only for German law and the German language, and there is no mobile app according to Tax & Bytes.
- Very few public reviews: the four reviews on Capterra Germany average 2.3 out of 5, with 2.0 for ease of use.
- Usage-based costs for cloud use and payroll headcount make the full cost hard to predict.
- The listed prices are starting prices, and training costs extra.
Tiime
Pros
- Invoicing is free on every tier, with no limit on the number of quotes and invoices, plus e-invoicing through Tiime's registered platform.
- The business's accountant can see its data for free, and around 2,000 accounting firms are reported as partners.
- Bank sync categorises transactions automatically, and receipts can be captured by phone, which cuts pre-accounting work.
- Paid plans come with a 60-day trial, and the entry plan costs 9.99 euros a month.
- Users rate it highly, with about 4.8 out of 5 on Google and Trustpilot.
Cons
- Tiime only does pre-accounting. The full ledger and the tax return package are left to an accountant using Tiime's separate production tool.
- The business account cannot send transfers outside the euro zone and offers no overdraft.
- Reviewers say modules cannot be bought on their own, and the free plan is fairly limited for running a business.
- Users have reported occasional bugs, including after one update on Mac.
- It is aimed at the French market and at companies with up to 20 employees. Larger firms must request a quote.
