Pros & Cons
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.
SnelStart
Pros
- Plans run from receipt submission up to full inventory and trade, so a growing business can stay on the same system without migrating.
- Large Dutch integration directory, covering Shopify, WooCommerce, Bol.com, Mollie, Stripe, Adyen, payroll tools such as Nmbrs, and Power BI.
- Widely used by Dutch accountants, and there are dedicated accountant packages that include tax, payroll and annual accounts.
- Business banking is included from the inKaart plan, with five payment accounts and a card.
- Reviewers praise the support channels, which include phone, live chat, remote assistance and email. Trustpilot shows 4.1 out of 5 from more than 2,200 reviews.
Cons
- Reviewers report no support for multiple currencies.
- Filing your own VAT return requires at least the 22 euro inKaart plan.
- Extra users (2.50 to 13.50 euro each) and extra administrations add to the monthly cost.
- Automatic bank feeds cover only five Dutch banks. Other banks need manual statement imports.
- The desktop version looks dated and does not have the same features as the web version. Time and mileage tracking need third-party add-ons.
