What Jortt is
Jortt is an online bookkeeping suite for freelancers and small businesses, with a free entry tier in which you can make invoices and quotes. The paid plans add the bookkeeping: bank link, purchase invoices, the VAT return and the income tax return. Jortt positions itself as the tool in which you do the books yourself, with automatic bookings so you need no accountant.
What Factuurmaken.nl is
Factuurmaken.nl is an invoicing tool. It does the invoice and everything attached to it: quotes with instalments, reminders, online payments, recurring invoices, e-invoices over UBL and Peppol, and a bank link that ticks off paid invoices. The bookkeeping itself it deliberately leaves to your accountant, who reads along for free.
The difference in practice
The question is who does the books. If you do them yourself and want them in the same tool as your invoices, Jortt is built for that. If you have an accountant, a bookkeeping suite charges you for work that is already being done. Factuurmaken keeps the monthly price low by doing only the invoicing, and puts the bank link and reminders in every plan.
