Pros & Cons

C
Collmex

Pros

  • Free bookkeeping and invoicing tiers, with paid modules from 8.95 EUR a month, put it among the cheapest German options.
  • Covers German requirements: SKR03 and SKR04, ELSTER VAT returns, DATEV export and GoBD-compliant archiving.
  • HBCI bank import with automatic booking suggestions, which one reviewer said were accepted about 75% of the time.
  • A dedicated association package handles members, dues and SEPA direct debit.
  • Hosted in a German ISO 27001-certified data center, with monthly cancellation.

Cons

  • The interface is plain and dated, according to reviewers, and the many booking templates take time to learn.
  • German-only, and not suited to international or multi-currency businesses.
  • Support is reportedly email-only.
  • Most plans have fixed user counts that cannot be expanded.
  • Not a full ERP: it is weak for complex warehouse or production needs and is not recommended beyond about 30 employees.

  • Reviewers call the interface dated and say there is no mobile app.
  • Recurring invoices, shop imports and dunning are locked to the higher tiers.
  • Costs rise as invoice volume grows, and the Starter plan is capped at 20 contacts.
