• Stock, purchasing and production features let small firms move up without switching vendors.
• A 14-day free trial needs no credit card.

Cons

• Plans are annual with a 12-month minimum, and only one user is included. Extra office users cost 20 euros per month each.
• Recurring invoices and API access are paid add-ons.
• Reviewers report slowdowns with large data volumes and a complicated template designer.
• The pricing page shows conflicting prices, so buyers need to confirm their quote.

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
