Pros & Cons
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.
- Large Dutch integration directory, covering Shopify, WooCommerce, Bol.com, Mollie, Stripe, Adyen, payroll tools such as Nmbrs, and Power BI.
- 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.

- Professional and higher plans include custom workflows, custom roles and approvals, and Premium adds custom modules and functions.
- On the Elite plan, inventory features cover warehouses, serial and batch tracking, and marketplace sync.
Cons
- Budgets, multi-currency and advanced inventory are only available on higher-priced tiers.
- Reviewers on Capterra and in NerdWallet's write-up describe slow or unhelpful customer support.
- It has fewer third-party integrations than its main competitors, according to NerdWallet.
