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.

Cons

• Not an accounting package: no ledger, profit and loss, or VAT return filings.
• Reviewers call the interface dated and say there is no mobile app.
• 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.

sevdesk

Pros

• The free plan stays free with no time limit and includes up to 3 e-invoices a month in the ZUGFeRD and XRechnung formats
• VAT pre-returns go straight to the tax office through ELSTER, and EÜR reports are generated automatically
• Reviewers on OMR rate it highly for ease of use and setup, at 90% each, and say beginners can learn it quickly
• Bank connections to more than 4,000 banks match incoming payments to invoices automatically
• Data exports to DATEV and ADDISON, and tax advisors get their own login

Cons

• There is no payroll, so a separate tool is needed for wages
• Some users report unstable bank connections and inaccurate automatic receipt recognition
• Reports are less detailed than in Lexware, and the BWA is only in the most expensive plan
• Some reviewers complain about automatic contract renewal and say early cancellation is hard
• Only one user is included, and each extra user costs 5.90 EUR a month
• It is built around German tax rules, so it fits poorly outside Germany and Austria
