Pros & Cons
Bokio
Pros
- Bank connection suggests entries and matches incoming payments automatically, which cuts manual bookkeeping for small firms.
- VAT is calculated from the books and the VAT report is generated for Skatteverket, with a choice of monthly, quarterly, or yearly periods.
- Accounting consultants invited via Bokio Byrå count as free users.
- A forum user reports a smooth connection to årsredovisningonline for annual reports.
- Bookkeeping, invoicing, payroll, and a business account with a card come from a single vendor.
Cons
- The free plan was removed in September 2023 at short notice, which angered long-time users.
- Users and a Capterra reviewer call it expensive, at roughly 500 SEK per month with two employees.
- Many functions are paid extras, including extra users, Swish, e-invoices, advanced payroll, and the annual report.
- A forum user reports, secondhand and unverified, that payroll reporting cannot handle parental leave or VAB.
- It is focused on Sweden and suits only small businesses.
SnelStart
Pros
- Plans run from receipt submission up to full inventory and trade, so a growing business can stay on the same system without migrating.

- Widely used by Dutch accountants, and there are dedicated accountant packages that include tax, payroll and annual accounts.
- Business banking is included from the inKaart plan, with five payment accounts and a card.
- Reviewers praise the support channels, which include phone, live chat, remote assistance and email. Trustpilot shows 4.1 out of 5 from more than 2,200 reviews.
Cons
- Reviewers report no support for multiple currencies.
- Filing your own VAT return requires at least the 22 euro inKaart plan.
- Extra users (2.50 to 13.50 euro each) and extra administrations add to the monthly cost.
- Automatic bank feeds cover only five Dutch banks. Other banks need manual statement imports.
- The desktop version looks dated and does not have the same features as the web version. Time and mileage tracking need third-party add-ons.
