Jortt goes furthest on automatic posting and on tax reporting — including a head start on your income tax return. It works in Dutch and English, and that's where it stops — which is exactly the point.
Jortt is a Dutch accounting package with a strong focus on automatic posting and tax reporting, with a free entry plan and paid plans from €21.95 a month (Jortt ZZP, up to 250 entries a month) to €39.95 a month. It works in Dutch and English. The package booxx costs €19 a month with no entry cap and works in five languages, down to the ledger accounts and the outgoing email. If you want maximum automation and tax reporting in Dutch, Jortt is stronger; if you read neither Dutch nor English, it isn't an option. You bring your old books along as an audit file (XAF); it is imported here, ledger and open items included.

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 MoneybirdOf 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.nlBuilt 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 MoneyMonkThe 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 DigiBooxNot 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.nlThe package booxx has two plans: Standard (€19 a month, everything included, with VAT returns and automatic bank reconciliation) and Dormant (€4 a month, read-only for a set of books that is temporarily dormant). You start with a 90-day trial of the full product, with no payment method up front; nothing is charged during that period, so there is nothing to cancel. All amounts are per set of books per month, excluding VAT, and cancellable monthly. There are no setup fees. Standard has no limits at all: unlimited invoices, entries and bank transactions, and unlimited users — colleagues and your accountant work alongside you at no extra cost.
PricingFive 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 languageFrom your first invoice to annual accounts that balance. No separate modules you have to buy later just to close your year.
FeaturesYes. 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.
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.
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.
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.
