Pros & Cons
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.
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.
- Users have reported occasional bugs, including after one update on Mac.
- It is aimed at the French market and at companies with up to 20 employees. Larger firms must request a quote.
