Why switch from Excel to Factuur Simpel?
Correct and professional
Every invoice gets the next number automatically, with VAT per rate including reverse charge and the details tax authorities ask for. Your logo and letterhead appear on every invoice and quote.
No accounting software needed
Nothing bookkeeping-related to learn or pay for: one flat price with no limit on invoices, quotes or customers. Your accountant gets an Excel or PDF export, and you send Peppol e-invoices without a per-invoice fee.
Where Factuur Simpel fits
If you invoice from a Word or Excel template today, the usual next step is accounting software. Factuur Simpel sits in between: more than a template, without the bookkeeping.
| Compared on | Word or Excel | Factuur Simpel | Accounting software |
|---|---|---|---|
| Best for | An occasional invoice | Freelancers and small businesses whose accountant does the books | Businesses that do their own bookkeeping |
| Numbering and VAT | You keep track of numbers and VAT yourself | Automatic, including reverse charge | Automatic, as part of the bookkeeping |
| Peppol e-invoices | Not possible: you email a PDF | Send and receive on every plan, no fee per invoice | Often available, depending on the package and plan |
| What you need to learn | Nothing new, but every invoice is manual work | Invoices, quotes and customers; no bookkeeping | Bookkeeping, such as ledger accounts and bank transactions |
| What you pay | Nothing extra, but it takes your time | €12.99 or €21.99 per month excl. VAT, no limit on invoices | A subscription that also covers bookkeeping features |
Accounting software suits you better if you want to do your own bookkeeping or need several users.

Frequently asked questions about Factuur Simpel
About pricing, the trial, Peppol, switching and your data.
What is Factuur Simpel?
Factuur Simpel is invoicing software for freelancers and small businesses in the Netherlands and Belgium who leave the bookkeeping to their accountant. Create invoices and quotes with your own logo in the web app or the iOS and Android apps, and also send and receive e-invoices through Peppol. Invoice PDFs print in Dutch or English, in euros.
Is Factuur Simpel accounting software?
No. Factuur Simpel is invoicing software: you create and send invoices and quotes and keep your expenses and receipts together, but you don't keep books in it. With Complete you can connect your bank account: payments are then matched to your invoices and receipts, which are marked paid. Your accountant gets exports in Excel or as PDF files, and with Complete you also have a VAT overview at hand for your return. From Starter, Factuur Simpel also sends recurring invoices for you automatically. If you want to do your own bookkeeping or work with several users, accounting software is a better fit. Compare Factuur Simpel with other tools.
How much does Factuur Simpel cost?
The Free plan includes 3 invoices a month, Peppol included. Starter costs €12.99 per month or €129.99 per year. Complete costs €21.99 per month or €219.99 per year. These are website prices excluding VAT; App Store and Google Play prices differ. Complete adds a bank connection, Mollie payments, automatic receipt processing and a VAT overview, among other features. You can cancel at any time and your plan stays active until the end of the paid period. Compare the plans.
Do I need payment details for the trial?
No. Create an account without payment details and use the Complete features for 30 days. Then you automatically continue on our free version: 3 invoices a month, unlimited quotes and Peppol. For more invoices, choose Starter or Complete.
Can I send e-invoices through Peppol?
Yes, on every plan and during the trial, with no fee per invoice. Register your business on the Peppol network from the settings, then send invoices as e-invoices to customers who receive through Peppol. Peppol invoices you receive appear in your expenses. Read how to create a Peppol invoice and how Belgium's e-invoicing mandate works.
Can I switch from Excel or other invoicing software?
Yes. Enter your business details, upload your logo and set up invoice numbering with your own prefix. On your first invoice, adjust the number so your sequence continues from your last invoice. You add customers and products once; there is no import feature. Also read how to carry over your invoice numbering.
Can I take my data with me if I leave?
Yes. On every plan you can export invoices and expenses per period to Excel or as a ZIP of PDF files, and customers to Excel or CSV. Invoices you sent through Peppol can also be exported as XML. After you cancel, your plan stays active until the end of the paid period, so you can export until then.
Do my invoices include the required details?
Invoices you create with Factuur Simpel include details tax authorities ask for, such as your VAT number, a sequential invoice number, the invoice and delivery date and the VAT per rate. You can invoice with VAT or with reverse charge. See the full invoice requirements checklist.
How do you handle my data?
Your data belongs to you and we do not sell it. Factuur Simpel is hosted on Amazon Web Services in Frankfurt (EU). For features such as Mollie payments, Peppol delivery and automatic receipt reading, external service providers process part of your data. Read more in our privacy policy.
