#8 Odoo

Ramillies, Belgium Founded 2005 One free app / paid plans per user per month Demo on request

Best for: Companies that want recurring invoicing inside a self-hostable ERP

• Operating company. Odoo S.A.
• Jurisdiction. EU (Belgium)
• Where the data sits. EU hosting (Odoo Online) or your own servers
• Source code. Open source
• Replaces. NetSuite, Microsoft Dynamics 365 Business Central, Sage

Odoo is an open-source ERP in which accounting, inventory, manufacturing, CRM, e-commerce, HR and point of sale are separate apps sharing one data model, so a company can start with one and grow into the rest. In this category it suits a business that wants recurring invoicing inside a wider ERP instead of a dedicated billing engine.

Odoo S.A. operates from Ramillies, Belgium, and the core is published under LGPLv3, so you can run it on your own servers or use EU hosting through Odoo Online.

Pricing is one free app, then paid plans per user per month, with a 15-day trial. The cost people forget is implementation: the demo looks effortless, but moulding the standard apps to a different way of working is project work, usually through a partner, and the difference between the free community edition and paid Enterprise features catches buyers out.

Standout feature. Odoo is the only vendor here where walking away from the supplier does not mean walking away from the software, because the LGPLv3 core runs on your own hardware.

Best for: Dutch freelancers and small businesses

• Operating company. Moneybird BV
• Jurisdiction. EU (Netherlands)
• Where the data sits. Netherlands
• Source code. Closed source
• Replaces. QuickBooks, Exact Online, e-Boekhouden

Moneybird is Dutch invoicing and bookkeeping software for small businesses. Invoices carry the fields Dutch rules require, can be sent with an iDEAL payment link and chase themselves with automatic reminders, and recurring invoices handle retainers and subscriptions without monthly manual work. Bank feeds suggest matches against invoices, and the quarterly VAT return is prepared from the ledger.

The company is Moneybird BV in Enschede, hosts in the Netherlands, and lists plans of EUR 3, EUR 15, EUR 29 and EUR 41 per month billed annually (EUR 4, EUR 18, EUR 35 and EUR 49 billed monthly), with a 60-day free trial and no free plan.

A Belgian version exists alongside the Dutch one, but it does not serve businesses filing elsewhere. It has no inventory, project accounting or payroll, and there is no self-hosting, so a growing company will eventually need an ERP or a dedicated billing tool.

Standout feature. Moneybird is the only tool here that prepares the Dutch quarterly VAT return from the same ledger that sends the recurring invoice.
