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.
Tiime
Pros
- Invoicing is free on every tier, with no limit on the number of quotes and invoices, plus e-invoicing through Tiime's registered platform.
- The business's accountant can see its data for free, and around 2,000 accounting firms are reported as partners.
- Bank sync categorises transactions automatically, and receipts can be captured by phone, which cuts pre-accounting work.
- Paid plans come with a 60-day trial, and the entry plan costs 9.99 euros a month.
- Users rate it highly, with about 4.8 out of 5 on Google and Trustpilot.
Cons
- Tiime only does pre-accounting. The full ledger and the tax return package are left to an accountant using Tiime's separate production tool.
- The business account cannot send transfers outside the euro zone and offers no overdraft.
- Reviewers say modules cannot be bought on their own, and the free plan is fairly limited for running a business.
