easybill

Pros

• 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.
• Testers at experte.de rated support well, at 1.7 on the German grade scale, with fast responses.

Cons

• 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.

Zeni

Pros

• Every bookkeeping plan includes a named controller, bookkeeping manager, and analyst, so founders do not have to hire finance staff.
• Bill pay, reimbursements, and business checking come free with bookkeeping, and reimbursements support 160 currencies.
• The live dashboard and AI CFO show cash, burn, and runway without waiting for a monthly report.
• SOC 2 Type II audited, with AES-256 encryption at rest and a separate data partition for each customer.

Cons

• Entry pricing of $494 to $549 a month is expensive for very small businesses.
• The service is limited to US entities and US payroll.
• It requires QuickBooks Online Plus, and each entity needs its own subscription.
• Many tax and payroll extras are billed separately, and a few user reviews raise concerns about payment and ACH issues.
