Why switch from Excel to Factuur Simpel?
Done in minutes
Pick a saved customer and your products, and the invoice is ready to send. Turn a signed quote into an invoice in one click, or invoice in the iOS or Android app right after the job.
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 with Complete 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 with Complete, 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 a bank connection, recurring invoices or several users.
