Pros & Cons
Ee-conomic
Pros
- Free outside access for an accountant or bookkeeper on every plan, which suits the Danish accountant-led market.
- Integrations with inventory systems, webshops and payroll, plus an open REST API with webhooks, which were added in 2026.
- Scales by posting volume from 1,000 up to 800,000 postings a year, with modules added as needs grow.
- Available in Danish, Norwegian, Swedish and English, where Dinero is Danish only.
- Smart and Komplet plans include a built-in Firmakort company card and bank and receipt automation.
Cons
- No free plan, and prices rise with posting volume and paid modules.
- The Basis plan leaves out reminders, quotes, subscription invoicing and full API access.
- Payroll needs a separate product such as Danløn connected through an integration.
- Some users and competitors describe the system as heavy or complex for very small businesses.
- Phone support is limited to weekday office hours, ending at 15:00 Monday to Thursday and 14:00 on Friday.
FreeAgent
Pros
- Free for customers with a NatWest, RBS, Ulster Bank, or qualifying Mettle business account.
- Built-in HMRC filing covers MTD VAT, Self Assessment, and MTD for Income Tax, and the limited company plan adds end-of-year filing.
- Reviewers often praise its UK-based phone and chat support.
- Every plan includes time tracking, projects, and invoicing, which suits freelancers who bill by the hour.
- Multi-currency invoicing and foreign-currency bank accounts are supported, with realised and unrealised gains and losses calculated automatically.
Cons
- Reviewers describe invoice templates as basic and say custom reporting is limited.
- Payroll suits only director-only setups or very small teams.
- Its integration ecosystem is smaller than those of Xero or QuickBooks.
- It has no multi-entity consolidation or advanced controls, so it does not scale to larger firms.
- Some users report out-of-date help articles.
