Five Dutch packages side by side

Moneybird, Jortt, e-Boekhouden.nl, MoneyMonk and DigiBoox are good packages with a lot of users. They have one thing in common: they assume you read Dutch.

What's the difference, briefly?

The Dutch accounting packages — Moneybird, Jortt, e-Boekhouden.nl, MoneyMonk and DigiBoox — have been around longer, have more links to other software and a far larger user base. They all work in Dutch; Moneybird and Jortt also in English. None of the five speaks Polish, Hungarian or Romanian, and only Moneybird says it translates the ledger accounts — into English. The package booxx is smaller and younger, but works fully in five languages down to the ledger, the outgoing invoices and the explanations of the VAT boxes. If you read Dutch fluently and need a lot of integrations, the established packages are probably the better fit; if you don't speak the Dutch language of bookkeeping, you can't do the core of the work there yourself. Alongside these five there is eFaktura.nl: not a bookkeeping package but an invoicing app, and one that does speak Polish, Hungarian and Romanian — that comparison is below too.

The five against each other: where they part ways

Put them side by side and they part ways on two things: what your price depends on, and where it stops. Moneybird charges by volume, €3 to €41 a month on annual billing (€4 to €49 if you want to cancel monthly), and only lifts the cap on its most expensive plan. On its three cheaper plans MoneyMonk caps two things at once — 20 to 50 bank transactions a month and an annual turnover of €20,000 to €100,000 — while its most expensive plan, Ultra, has unlimited bank transactions for a turnover from €100,000. Jortt has a free plan and stops at 250 entries a month on its sole-trader plan; e-Boekhouden.nl is the strictest at 240 entries a year, but does give new businesses 15 months free. DigiBoox is the only one that states no cap at all, and asks €15 a month on an annual subscription for the complete plan, or nothing if you only invoice.

Each of the five is strongest somewhere. Moneybird in integrations with other software, Jortt in automated bookkeeping, e-Boekhouden.nl in accounting depth, MoneyMonk in time tracking and project administration, and DigiBoox on price — a free plan for invoicing alone, and the only one that names no cap on entries. Trial periods run from 14 days at e-Boekhouden.nl to 60 at Moneybird; the other three give thirty.

What they share is the language. All five work in Dutch. Moneybird and Jortt also speak English; beyond that it stops. Only Moneybird says it translates the ledger accounts, and then into English; anyone who reads neither Dutch nor English cannot run the core of their administration in any of the five. That is not a shortcoming of those packages — it is who they serve.

This is about how they relate to each other. Where the booxx package stands against each of the five, with the figures side by side in a table, is on the per-package pages below.

Which two are you putting side by side?

Moneybird or e-Boekhouden.nl?

Moneybird and e-Boekhouden.nl differ mostly in where your price comes from and where it stops. Moneybird charges by volume: €3 to €41 a month on annual billing (€4 to €49 if you want to keep cancelling monthly), with 5 to unlimited bank transactions per plan and a 60-day trial. e-Boekhouden.nl asks €9.95 to €24.00 a month and allows at most 240 entries a year on its sole-trader plan — the strictest cap of the five — but gives new businesses 15 months free and has a 14-day trial. Choose e-Boekhouden.nl for accounting depth at a low price, Moneybird for its integrations with other software. Both work in Dutch; Moneybird also in English, e-Boekhouden.nl in Dutch only.

DigiBoox or Moneybird?

DigiBoox — formerly DigiBTW — and Moneybird both aim at the sole trader, but they charge differently. DigiBoox has a free plan for invoicing alone and asks €15 a month on an annual subscription for the complete plan, without stating any cap on your number of entries. Moneybird charges by volume instead, €3 to €41 a month on annual billing, and only gives unlimited transactions on its most expensive plan. If you want someone alongside, DigiBoox rents you a bookkeeper for €66 a month; Moneybird has the most integrations and the largest network of accountants working with the package. Trial: 30 days against 60. DigiBoox exists in Dutch only, in a Dutch and a Belgian edition.

DigiBoox or e-Boekhouden.nl?

This is the cheapest choice of the five, and it hinges on your number of entries. e-Boekhouden.nl starts at €9.95 a month but allows at most 240 entries a year on its sole-trader plan — twenty a month on average. DigiBoox asks €15 a month on an annual subscription and states no cap, with a free plan on top if you only want to invoice. e-Boekhouden.nl is the deeper of the two in accounting terms and gives new businesses 15 months free; DigiBoox has apps for iOS and Android and a bookkeeper you can hire alongside for a fee. Trial: 14 days against 30. For the income tax return DigiBoox has its own wizard, and filing costs €130; e-Boekhouden.nl keeps the figures for that return ready in your administration, but mentions no wizard of its own and no filing.

MoneyMonk or Moneybird?

MoneyMonk is built around time tracking and projects, Moneybird around invoices and integrations. The difference you feel in your wallet is the turnover ceiling: at MoneyMonk, Starter, Basis and Pro cap both your bank transactions (20 to 50 a month) and your annual turnover (€20,000 to €100,000); Ultra has unlimited bank transactions and is meant for a turnover from €100,000. The plans cost €0 to €37.50 a month. Moneybird looks only at volume and costs €3 to €41 a month on annual billing. If you sell hours, MoneyMonk does work that would need a second program alongside Moneybird. If your turnover grows, MoneyMonk moves you up a plan for a reason that has nothing to do with your bookkeeping. Trial: 30 days against 60, and both in Dutch — Moneybird also in English.

These four comparisons are between two other packages, not with ours. Prices and caps come from their own websites, checked on the date at the foot of this page.

Where they are better

  • They've been around longer and have a bigger user base, so more of the rough edges are worn off.
  • They have considerably more integrations with web shops, point-of-sale systems and time tracking.
  • They have a large network of bookkeepers who work with their software.
  • They file the VAT return with the Tax Administration themselves — Moneybird from its Start plan, Jortt not on its free plan; here you copy the amounts into Mijn Belastingdienst Zakelijk until our own link goes live.

Where we make the difference

  • Five languages, and the translation reaches the ledger and the outgoing email.
  • Full double-entry bookkeeping with VAT returns, EC Sales List and audit file — not an invoicing tool.
  • One price of €19 with no cap on entries or transactions.
  • €4 a month for books that are dormant, instead of paying on or cancelling.
  • Your audit file (XAF) is imported when you switch — ledger and open items included, rather than starting from a bare opening balance.

Per package

Moneybird

The most widely used package for freelancers, strong on ease of use. Works in Dutch and English; the price scales with your transaction volume.

Compare Moneybird

Jortt

Strong on automatic posting and tax reporting, including help with income tax. In Dutch and English; an entry cap on the freelancer plan.

Compare Jortt

e-Boekhouden.nl

Of the three, the cheapest plan that includes the VAT return, and the most complete on the bookkeeping side. Available in Dutch only.

Compare e-Boekhouden.nl

MoneyMonk

Built around time tracking and projects, for freelancers who sell hours. The price hangs on your annual turnover and, on the three cheaper plans, also on the number of bank transactions.

Compare MoneyMonk

DigiBoox

The former DigiBTW, aimed at freelancers. Free invoicing, €15 a month for everything on an annual subscription, and the only one of the five that states no cap on entries.

Compare DigiBoox

eFaktura.nl

Not a bookkeeping package but an invoicing app — and one that does speak Polish, Hungarian and Romanian. It does not mention bookkeeping: you share invoices and expenses with your bookkeeper.

Compare eFaktura.nl

Accounting software that speaks your language

Five languages, and not just in the menus: the ledger accounts, the guidance on every VAT box and your invoices are in the language you read. The bookkeeping underneath stays Dutch, because the rules are.

In your language

Everything a Dutch set of books needs

From your first invoice to annual accounts that balance. No separate modules you have to buy later just to close your year.

Questions about switching

Can I bring my bookkeeping with me if I switch?

Yes. Every Dutch accounting package can produce an audit file (XAF) — that's a legal requirement. You import it here, including your chart of accounts, your entries and your open items.

Can I switch halfway through the year?

Yes. You pick a start date, import your audit file or your opening balance, and post here from that point on. The periods you've already filed with your previous package stay there.

Will my bookkeeper work with this?

They can see your books if you let them in, and they get the audit file in the format they're used to. If they'd rather work in their own package, that audit file is exactly what they need.

Why do you name your competitors?

Because you're going to compare anyway, and because we aren't better on every point. Above, per package, you'll find when you're better off there. That's fairer, and it saves you a month of trying things out.
