Fakturoid

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.
