Moneybird is the best-known accounting package for freelancers in the Netherlands and it has earned that position. The difference comes down to two things: how many languages the application really speaks, and what your price depends on.
Moneybird is the most popular Dutch accounting package for freelancers, with an interface in Dutch, English and German and a price that rises with your volume: from €3 a month (Compact, 5 transactions) to €41 a month (Compleet, unlimited), with a 60-day free trial. Booxx costs €19 a month with no transaction cap and works in five languages — Dutch, English, Polish, Hungarian and Romanian — with the ledger accounts, the outgoing emails and the explanations of the VAT boxes translated as well. If you read Dutch easily and want lots of integrations, Moneybird is the safer choice; if you don't read Dutch, you can't run the core of your bookkeeping there yourself.

Next to e-Boekhouden.nlBooxx has three plans: Free (€0 a month, up to five sales invoices a month), Standard (€19 a month, everything included, with VAT returns and an automatic bank connection) and Pause (€4 a month, read-only for a set of books that is temporarily dormant). All amounts are per set of books per month, excluding VAT, and cancellable monthly. There are no setup fees and the free plan asks for no payment method.
PricingYes. 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.
Create a set of books, send your first invoice and see whether it works for you. The free plan asks for no payment method, so there is nothing to cancel later.
