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.
sevdesk
Pros
- The free plan stays free with no time limit and includes up to 3 e-invoices a month in the ZUGFeRD and XRechnung formats
- VAT pre-returns go straight to the tax office through ELSTER, and EÜR reports are generated automatically
- Reviewers on OMR rate it highly for ease of use and setup, at 90% each, and say beginners can learn it quickly
- Bank connections to more than 4,000 banks match incoming payments to invoices automatically
- Data exports to DATEV and ADDISON, and tax advisors get their own login
Cons
- There is no payroll, so a separate tool is needed for wages
- Some users report unstable bank connections and inaccurate automatic receipt recognition
- Reports are less detailed than in Lexware, and the BWA is only in the most expensive plan
- Some reviewers complain about automatic contract renewal and say early cancellation is hard
- Only one user is included, and each extra user costs 5.90 EUR a month
- It is built around German tax rules, so it fits poorly outside Germany and Austria
