Every European invoicing tool reviewed
Czech Republic
Founded 2009
Free plan; from 151 Kč/month (~€6)
Yes
Best for: Czech company (Fakturoid s.r.o.) running since 2009, with Czech/Slovak VAT rules built into the product
Fakturoid has been issuing invoices out of the Czech Republic since 2009, which makes it one of the longer-running names in this category rather than a recent SaaS entrant. Fakturoid s.r.o. (IČO 04656679) runs the service, and the product is built specifically around Czech and Slovak VAT rules — mandatory invoice fields, QR codes for instant bank payment, and DPH (VAT) threshold monitoring that flags when a business is about to cross the registration line.
The free plan covers up to 5 customers with genuinely unlimited invoices, web invoices with QR codes, six templates and the mobile app — a real usable tier, not a crippled trial. Paid plans layer on automatic bank-payment matching, AI-assisted expense tracking, recurring invoices, inventory and an API that scales from 3,000 to 20,000 requests a month depending on tier.
The limits are mostly about reach rather than depth: this is a product built for the Czech and Slovak market first, so VAT logic and templates outside that pair are less of a focus, and English-language support is secondary to Czech. For a business trading only in CZK/EUR within Czechia or Slovakia, that focus is exactly the point.
What Fakturoid does well
- Czech company (Fakturoid s.r.o.) running since 2009, with Czech/Slovak VAT rules built into the product
- Free plan covers 5 customers with genuinely unlimited invoices, not a time-limited trial
- QR-code payments and automatic bank-payment matching on paid tiers
- Published pricing for every tier, in Czech crowns, with a clear feature breakdown
Where Fakturoid falls short
- Built for the Czech/Slovak market first; VAT logic and templates for other EU countries are not the focus
- Pricing is published in CZK, so non-Czech buyers need to convert and watch for FX drift
- No open-source option, and no self-hosted deployment
Standout feature. Sixteen years of continuous operation on the same product, in a category where many competitors are five years old or less.
Ghent, Belgium
Founded Not stated by the vendor
Not published; quoted after signup
Not stated; trial availability not confirmed on the public site
Best for: Belgian company (Billit N.V., Ghent) operating as a certified Peppol Access Point ahead of the EU's mandatory e-invoicing rollout
Billit N.V. runs out of Ghent (VAT BE0563846944) and is built around a specific, increasingly unavoidable job: being a certified Peppol Access Point, the network EU governments are using to mandate structured e-invoicing between businesses. Belgium already requires structured B2B e-invoicing for VAT-registered entities from 1 January 2026, and France follows in September 2026 — Billit's whole product is built around that shift rather than treating it as one feature among many.
Beyond Peppol exchange, the product covers invoice and quote creation, mobile receipt scanning with digitisation, automated bank-transaction matching (the vendor states over 87 million transactions processed), and more than 180 integrations with accounting and ERP systems. Scale is real: Billit states 314,107 active users processing over 7 million invoices a month, which is a large base for a company this size.
The gap worth knowing about: Billit does not publish its pricing tiers on the public site, so a buyer has to go through signup or a sales conversation to see what a given volume of invoices actually costs, unlike Fakturoid or InvoiceXpress on this list, which publish a rate card up front.
What Billit does well
- Belgian company (Billit N.V., Ghent) operating as a certified Peppol Access Point ahead of the EU's mandatory e-invoicing rollout
- 180+ integrations with accounting and ERP systems, and automated bank-transaction matching at real scale
- 314,000+ active users and 7 million+ invoices processed monthly, a strong track record for this category
- Mobile receipt scanning and digitisation built into the core product
Where Billit falls short
- Pricing is not published — a buyer needs to sign up or talk to sales to see actual costs
- Founding date not published by the vendor
- Peppol-first positioning means the interface leans toward compliance workflows over general-purpose simplicity
Standout feature. A certified Peppol Access Point built specifically for the wave of mandatory EU e-invoicing rules landing through 2026, rather than e-invoicing bolted on as an afterthought.
Offenburg, Germany
Founded 2013
From about €9/month
Free trial
Best for: German freelancers and small businesses with high receipt volume
sevDesk has been issuing invoices and doing bookkeeping out of Offenburg, Germany since 2013, and its strongest feature is receipt automation: photograph or upload a receipt and sevDesk reads it, categorises it and matches it to the corresponding bank transaction automatically, which removes the most tedious part of German bookkeeping for a freelancer or small business.
Beyond receipt capture, sevDesk GmbH covers invoicing, automatic bank-transaction matching, DATEV export for handing off to an accountant, ELSTER filing for German tax authorities, GoBD-compliant record keeping and basic inventory and e-invoicing support. Pricing starts from about €9/month, split into tiers by feature set.
The product is squarely built for the German market — DATEV, ELSTER and GoBD are all Germany-specific — so the value is highest for a business filing German taxes and lower for one operating mainly outside Germany. There is no open-source option or self-hosted deployment.
What sevDesk does well
- German company (sevDesk GmbH, Offenburg) operating since 2013, with strong OCR receipt automation
- Automatic bank-transaction matching alongside DATEV export and ELSTER filing
- GoBD-compliant record keeping built in for German tax audits
- Published pricing from about €9/month across clear feature tiers
Where sevDesk falls short
- Built specifically for German tax and accounting rules; less relevant outside Germany
- No open-source option and no self-hosted deployment
- Entry tier feature set is narrower than the higher paid plans
Standout feature. Photograph a receipt and sevDesk reads it, categorises it and matches it to the bank transaction — the most automated receipt pipeline in this category.
Berlin, Germany
Founded Not stated by the vendor
From €19/month
No permanent free plan; paid plans only
Best for: German company (aifinyo AG, Berlin) with fully published pricing for every tier
Billomat is run by aifinyo AG out of Berlin (HRB 246794 B), and it is built as a broader business-management suite rather than an invoicing tool with add-ons bolted on afterwards: recurring invoices and credit notes sit next to CRM, inventory management, order processing with quotes and delivery notes, and tax-return generation in the same product.
Pricing is fully published and split into three tiers — Professional at €19/month annually for freelancers and side businesses, Business at €29/month for growing companies (the vendor's bestseller), and Enterprise at €99/month for larger operations — each roughly 33% cheaper billed annually than month-to-month. Integrations cover Shopify and WooCommerce for e-commerce sellers, DATEV for German accountants, and Mollie for payment collection, plus support for over 100 currencies.
The trade-off is complexity and price relative to a single-purpose invoicing tool: a freelancer who only needs to send five invoices a month is paying for CRM and inventory features they will not touch. It is a genuinely strong fit for a small German company that wants invoicing, light CRM and DATEV-ready exports in one subscription rather than three.
What Billomat does well
- German company (aifinyo AG, Berlin) with fully published pricing for every tier
- CRM, inventory and order management bundled with invoicing, not sold as separate add-ons
- DATEV export for German accountants, plus Shopify, WooCommerce and Mollie integrations
- Supports over 100 currencies for businesses invoicing outside the eurozone
Where Billomat falls short
- No permanent free plan — the cheapest tier still costs €19/month billed annually
- Broader than a single-purpose invoicing tool, which is overhead for a business that only needs invoices
- Founding date not published by the vendor
Standout feature. One subscription covers invoicing, CRM, inventory and DATEV-ready exports, where most competitors in this category sell only the invoice.
Portugal
Founded Not stated by the vendor
From €3/month (3 documents)
No permanent free plan; volume-based tiers start very low
Best for: Backed by the Visma group (Norway, EU/EEA), giving it financial stability a standalone startup lacks
InvoiceXpress operates in Portugal as part of the Visma group, the Norway-headquartered software group that owns a large portfolio of Nordic and European accounting and invoicing brands. That ownership gives it a level of financial backing a standalone invoicing startup does not have, while the product itself stays focused and Portugal-specific: SAF-T file export for Portuguese tax authority reporting sits alongside standard invoicing.
The pricing model is unusually transparent for this category: 18 tiers, each defined by a monthly document volume rather than a feature gate, running from €3 a month for 3 documents up to €624 a month for 100,000 documents, with every tier including unlimited users, multi-currency support and API access. That means a buyer can see exactly what a given month's invoice volume will cost before signing up, rather than discovering per-seat or per-feature surprises later.
The trade-off is that the pricing scales with document count rather than company size, so a business that occasionally sends a burst of invoices in one month needs to either budget for the higher tier or manage the volume across months. The public site is also light on company history — founding date and legal entity name are not stated beyond the Visma group affiliation.
What InvoiceXpress does well
- Backed by the Visma group (Norway, EU/EEA), giving it financial stability a standalone startup lacks
- 18 transparent volume-based pricing tiers, from €3/month, all including unlimited users and API access
- SAF-T export built in for Portuguese tax authority reporting requirements
- Multi-currency support included on every tier, not gated to higher plans
Where InvoiceXpress falls short
- Pricing scales with document volume rather than a flat seat price, which takes some estimating for a business with uneven invoice volume
- Founding date and legal entity name not stated on the public site beyond the Visma group affiliation
- Portugal-specific compliance features (SAF-T) add no value for businesses trading outside Portugal
Standout feature. Eighteen clearly published, volume-based pricing tiers that let a buyer calculate the exact monthly cost before signing up, rather than the quote-on-request pattern common elsewhere in this category.
Madrid, Spain
Founded Not stated by the vendor (operating under the Billin name for over 10 years prior to rebrand)
From €6.60/month
30-day free trial; no permanent free plan
Best for: Cheapest published entry price in this category, from €6.60/month billed annually
TS Facturas is the current name for what was Billin for more than a decade, after the product and team were absorbed into the Italian TeamSystem group. The rebrand changed the name on the tin, not the software underneath, and the pitch is unchanged: straightforward invoicing for Spanish freelancers and small businesses, with the country-specific compliance work already done.
That compliance work is the reason to pick it over a generic EU invoicing tool: Verifactu (Spain's anti-fraud invoicing regulation), Facturae (the standard electronic invoice format for Spanish public-sector billing) and TicketBAI (the Basque Country's real-time invoice reporting system) are all built in, which matters a great deal if any of those apply to your business and very little if they don't.
Pricing is fully published and genuinely inexpensive at the entry tier: €6.60 a month annually for up to 5 clients and 10 products, rising to €23 a month for unlimited clients, users and products.
The open question a buyer should ask before committing is continuity: a decade-old independent product now sits inside a much larger group's portfolio, and how much product investment TS Facturas gets relative to TeamSystem's other Italian-market tools is not something the public site states.
What TS Facturas does well
- Cheapest published entry price in this category, from €6.60/month billed annually
- Verifactu, Facturae and TicketBAI compliance built in for Spanish tax rules
- Over 10 years of operating history under the Billin name before the TeamSystem rebrand
- Fully published pricing for all three tiers, with a clear feature breakdown per tier
Where TS Facturas falls short
- Recently rebranded from Billin into TeamSystem's portfolio; long-term product investment level is not publicly stated
- Compliance features (Verifactu, TicketBAI) are Spain-specific and add no value outside that market
- Parent group TeamSystem is Italian, so ultimate ownership sits outside Spain even though the product and entity are Spanish
Standout feature. Verifactu, Facturae and TicketBAI compliance built in from the entry tier, at the lowest published price in this category.
Helsinki, Finland (billing entity in the UK)
Founded 2012
Free plan; from £8.99/month
Yes
Best for: Genuine free plan with unlimited estimates and quotes, not a time-limited trial
Zervant started in Helsinki in 2012, founded by Mattias Hansson and Tuukka Koskinen, and joined the Ageras Group — a Denmark-based owner of several small-business software brands — in late 2021. The product itself has stayed a straightforward invoicing tool aimed squarely at freelancers and very small businesses rather than growing into a full accounting suite.
The free plan is a real one rather than a time-limited trial: invoice creation, email or PDF delivery, unlimited estimates and quotes, and basic payment reminders are all included at no cost. Paid tiers add time tracking, online payment collection, recurring invoices with payment schedules, bank connections, and — from the Pro tier up — down payments and support for multiple trading names.
The one thing worth flagging plainly: while Zervant's roots and product development are Finnish, the customer-facing billing entity shown on the pricing page is Zervant UK (Leamington Spa, England), and pricing is quoted in GBP rather than EUR. For an EU buyer that wants the invoicing entity itself inside the EU rather than the UK, that is worth checking before committing, even though the parent Ageras Group is Danish.
What Zervant does well
- Genuine free plan with unlimited estimates and quotes, not a time-limited trial
- Finnish origin (founded Helsinki, 2012) with continued backing from the Danish Ageras Group
- GDPR-compliant with bank-grade encryption, per the vendor
- Time tracking and payment reminders included from the entry paid tier
Where Zervant falls short
- Customer-facing billing entity is Zervant UK, not an EU entity, and pricing is quoted in GBP
- Data location is not stated by the vendor
- Fewer country-specific compliance features (no Peppol, KSeF or similar) than several other tools on this list
Standout feature. A genuinely usable free tier — unlimited quotes and estimates, not a countdown trial — from a company with over a decade of continuous operation.
Warsaw, Poland
Founded 2010
Free Micro plan; paid tiers via promo code
Yes
Best for: Polish company (Warsaw, founded 2010) with 600,000+ users, among the largest in this category
Fakturownia was built in Warsaw in 2010 by three co-founders as an internal tool for their own company before becoming a product in its own right, and it now states over 600,000 users — among the largest user bases of any tool in this category. Its standout feature is deep, no-extra-cost integration with KSeF, Poland's National e-Invoice System, which automatically submits and retrieves documents in both online and offline modes.
That KSeF integration matters because Poland has been moving structured B2B e-invoicing toward mandatory status, and Fakturownia treats it as a core feature rather than a paid add-on — the vendor states explicitly that KSeF costs nothing on every paid plan. Beyond that, the product covers expense tracking with OCR scanning, 65+ integrations, JPK report generation for Polish tax authorities, multi-company support and an open API.
The one real gap is pricing transparency: beyond the free Micro plan (3 invoices a month), the paid tiers on the public pricing page require entering a promotional code to reveal an actual price, so a buyer cannot see a straight rate card the way they can on Fakturoid or InvoiceXpress in this same list.
What Fakturownia does well
- Polish company (Warsaw, founded 2010) with 600,000+ users, among the largest in this category
- KSeF (Poland's National e-Invoice System) integration included at no extra cost on every paid plan
- 65+ integrations, OCR expense scanning and JPK tax report generation built in
- Free Micro plan for very low invoice volume, plus a genuine 30-day full-access trial
Where Fakturownia falls short
- Paid-tier pricing is not published as a flat rate — the public pricing page requires a promo code to reveal actual cost
- KSeF-first positioning is most valuable for Poland-based businesses specifically
- Full legal entity name and precise headquarters address are not stated on the public site
Standout feature. KSeF integration — Poland's national e-invoicing system — included free on every paid plan, ahead of the country's move toward mandatory structured e-invoicing.
France
Founded not stated by the vendor
Free plan; Smart from €17.99/month, Business from €24.99/month (excl. VAT)
Yes
Best for: French micro-enterprises wanting an approved e-invoicing platform ahead of the 2026 mandate
Tiime is a French invoicing and accounting platform whose customer support team is explicitly based in France, and it carries "Plateforme Agréée" status — an approved platform under France's phased rollout of mandatory B2B e-invoicing, which starts affecting all businesses from 2026 onward.
Pricing scales by headcount rather than a single flat tier: free for solo micro-enterprises, then Smart and Business tiers that get more expensive as a company adds employees (2-5, 6-20, 20+), topping out at a custom quote for the largest accounts.
Paid tiers add payment links, multi-user access and treasury forecasting on top of the free plan's core invoicing, expense management and bank synchronisation. For a business that expects to grow past a single founder, the headcount-based pricing is transparent about what growth will cost, which is not true of every vendor in this category.
The trade-off is that Tiime does not publish a founding date or a detailed legal-entity address on its marketing pages, so a buyer wanting that level of corporate detail will need to ask directly.
What Tiime does well
- French company with support explicitly based in France
- Approved e-invoicing platform status ahead of France's 2026 mandatory B2B rollout
- Genuine free plan for solo micro-enterprises, not a time-limited trial
- Bank synchronisation and treasury forecasting on paid tiers
Where Tiime falls short
- No founding date or detailed legal-entity address published on the marketing site
- Pricing scales by headcount band, so it takes a moment to find your own tier
- Largest accounts (20+ employees) are quote-only rather than published
Standout feature. Approved-platform status for France's e-invoicing mandate, built in rather than bolted on ahead of the 2026 rollout.
Lyon, France
Founded not stated by the vendor
Free Essentiel plan; Plus from €9/month, Premium €15-49/month (excl. VAT)
Yes
Best for: French freelancers wanting invoicing bundled with accounting and a business account
Indy SAS is a Lyon-based company built specifically for French freelancers and micro-enterprises across the legal structures that shape (SARL, EURL, SAS, SASU, EI, LMNP, SCI). The free Essentiel plan covers unlimited invoices and quotes with electronic-invoicing support, and paid tiers add a professional account with its own IBAN and Mastercard, automated bank-transaction categorisation using AI, and VAT declaration handling.
Pricing is structured around what kind of business entity you run rather than a single ladder: the Premium tier ranges from €15 to €49 a month depending on legal form, and an optional accountant add-on (Option Expert-Comptable) runs €63-108 a month for businesses that want a human accountant attached to the platform.
Like Tiime, Indy does not publish a founding date on its marketing site, and the product's structure-specific pricing means a buyer needs to know their own legal form before they can read the price sheet.
What Indy does well
- French company (Indy SAS) based in Lyon, built specifically for freelancers and micro-enterprises
- Free Essentiel plan with unlimited invoices and electronic invoicing
- Bundled business account with IBAN and card on paid tiers
- Optional human-accountant add-on for businesses that want one
Where Indy falls short
- No founding date published on the marketing site
- Pricing depends on knowing your own legal structure (SARL, EURL, SAS, etc.) first
- Built around French legal forms, so less relevant outside France
Standout feature. A bundled professional bank account with its own IBAN and card, not just invoicing software bolted onto a generic bank feed.
Balma, France
Founded not stated by the vendor
From €97/month for 1 user, plus €30/month per additional user
No
Best for: Small businesses wanting invoicing inside a full CRM rather than as a standalone tool
Axonaut is built by Digitica SAS, based in Balma near Toulouse, and it is the broadest product in this category by a wide margin: invoicing and quoting sit alongside full CRM, marketing automation, project management, staff and vacation registries, stock management, and a support-ticketing system, with 14,000+ app integrations via Zapier on top of native Stripe, GoCardless and Mailchimp connections.
That breadth is also the honest reason it ranks last on a page specifically about invoicing software: Axonaut is a small-business operating system that happens to include invoicing, not an invoicing specialist. Pricing reflects that positioning — €97 a month for the first user plus €30 for each additional one, with no free tier at all, the highest entry price and the only entry with zero free option anywhere in this category.
For a business that genuinely wants one system for sales, invoicing, HR and inventory together, that price buys real breadth. For a business that just wants to send compliant invoices, every other tool on this page does that job for less.
What Axonaut does well
- French company (Digitica SAS) based near Toulouse
- Invoicing bundled with full CRM, project management, HR and stock management
- 14,000+ integrations via Zapier plus native Stripe, GoCardless and Mailchimp connections
- Annual and 2-year plans discount the monthly rate
Where Axonaut falls short
- No free tier at all, and the highest entry price in this category at €97/month for one user
- A full business suite rather than a focused invoicing tool, so it is more than most buyers on this page are looking for
- No founding date published on the marketing site
Standout feature. The only tool in this category built as a full small-business operating system rather than invoicing software with extras attached.
