easybill

• Imports and invoices marketplace orders from Amazon, eBay, OTTO and shop systems automatically.
• Creates XRechnung and ZUGFeRD e-invoices on every plan, including the free one.
• A permanent free plan includes DATEV export and tax-adviser access.

• Recurring invoices, shop imports and dunning are locked to the higher tiers.
• Costs rise as invoice volume grows, and the Starter plan is capped at 20 contacts.

Epicor Kinetic

• Multiple books, currencies and languages with automatic currency conversion, which suits global plants.
• Highly configurable, which reviewers on Gartner single out as a strength.
• Choice of cloud, hybrid or on-premise deployment.

Cons

• No public pricing, and reviewers report frequent price increases and high consultant costs during implementation.
• Upgrades become hard once a system has been heavily customised.
• Reviewers call the BAQ report builder too complicated and describe a steep learning curve.
• Support and partner quality vary by region, and some reviewers complain of slow support.
• Payroll and expense management depend on separate modules or third-party tools.
