Lundify

Pros

• AI interpretation of receipts and supplier invoices has no volume cap or per-document fee, which competitors often meter.
• Direct PSD2 connections to Handelsbanken, Nordea, SEB and Swedbank let users pay supplier invoices and match payments without bank files.
• Built for Swedish rules: BAS 2026 chart of accounts, automatic VAT check, cash or invoice-basis accounting, and ROT and RUT claim files.
• Low entry prices in SEK, a 30-day free trial and monthly billing with no notice period.
• The vendor's tax publishing background shows in its bundled e-books, templates, courses and paid question service.
• Accounting firms get dedicated tools (Workflow, Year-End Reporting, BL Byrå), and clients and bookkeepers can work in the same company at once.

Cons

• Trustpilot rating of 3.4 out of 5, with many 2026 reviews citing long phone waits, unreliable chat and hard-to-reach support.
• Bank connections cover only four major Swedish banks, and some reviewers report failed payments or balances not syncing.
• Modular pricing adds up quickly: approvals, expenses, time tracking, e-invoices, signing and payslips are all charged extra.
• Users report missing printouts such as monthly voucher lists, a dated interface, and a hard year-end close.
• No public general API was found, and integrations rely partly on the third-party API.1 connector from Zwapgrid.
• Focused on the Swedish market, with no clear multi-currency invoicing or multi-entity consolidation.
