Pros & Cons
Fortnox
Pros
- More than 500 integrations, and one 189 kr licence covers all of them.
- A single platform covers bookkeeping, invoicing, payroll, supplier invoice approval, payments and a company card, which suits Swedish SMEs.
- Accounting firms get a dedicated bureau package for working in their clients' books.
- New companies get six months free, and every new subscription has a 30-day open purchase period.
- Trustpilot and Shopify app reviewers frequently praise customer service and sync reliability.
Cons
- Usage fees for invoices, paid employees and interpretations, plus an Access fee that scales with activity, make total cost hard to predict.
- Three-month agreements cost 15 percent more than the 12-month list prices.
- The product is Swedish-focused, and users have asked for an English interface.
- Some users call the reporting tools dated and say neobank integrations such as Revolut are missing.
Quipu
Pros
- IVA and IRPF forecasting and pre-filled quarterly forms suit Spanish autonomos who are not accounting experts.
- VeriFactu-compliant invoicing with QR codes is included on every plan, including Starter.
- Ready-made integrations with Stripe, PayPal, Shopify, WooCommerce and PrestaShop create invoices from online sales automatically.
- Good review scores: 4.5/5 on Capterra Spain and about 4.2/5 from 271 reviews on Trustpilot.
- 15-day free trial with no card needed, and you can export your data to Excel when you cancel.
Cons
- No full double-entry accounting, so it is not a replacement for an ERP or a full accounting package.
- Bank reconciliation needs at least Solution, and automatic reconciliation needs Premium.
- Starter users only get email support, and some reviewers say response times were missed.
- Some reviews say expense recognition sometimes fails or creates duplicate records.
- The API is limited, and extra API calls cost more.
- Built for Spain only, with little for inventory or HR.
