Comparison

Factuurmaken.nl or Moneybird: which fits invoicing on its own?

Two tools with the same invoice inside, but a different reason to exist. The question is not which is better, but whether you want to do the bookkeeping yourself in the same tool.

The Factuurmaken.nl advantage

Invoices, quotes and payments that tick themselves off. One small monthly price.

From €2.50

per month · excl. VAT

Basis includes 7 invoices and 7 quotes per billing period, your own logo, PDF and UBL downloads, email sending and automatic reminders.

Monthly subscription, cancel monthly. No annual payment required.

What Moneybird is

Moneybird is an online bookkeeping suite for freelancers and small businesses. Invoices and quotes are in it, but the heart of the tool is the administration: importing and booking bank transactions, processing purchase invoices, preparing and filing the VAT return, and a year overview for the accountant or the income tax return. The plans are built around that: the more administration, the higher the tier.

What Factuurmaken.nl is

Factuurmaken.nl is an invoicing tool. You make an invoice that adds up, send it, and get help getting paid: an iDEAL button in the e-mail, reminders that go out by themselves and a bank link that ticks off paid invoices. Quotes, recurring invoices and e-invoices (UBL and Peppol) come with it. What is deliberately left out is the bookkeeping itself: no journal entries, no VAT return. Your accountant reads along for free from their own account.

The difference in practice

Anyone who does their own books and wants them in one tool is well served by Moneybird. Anyone who invoices and leaves the books to an accountant pays a bookkeeping suite for features the accountant already has in their own software. That is what factuurmaken is for: everything to do with the invoice, and nothing else.

Factuurmaken.nl fits when

  • You want to make invoices and quotes, have reminders sent and get paid, and nothing more
  • Your accountant does the books and the VAT return, and would rather read along than have you retype
  • You invoice a few times a month and do not want to pay a bookkeeping-suite price for it
  • You sometimes want a one-off invoice without an account

Moneybird fits better when

  • You want to prepare and file your VAT return from the same tool
  • You want journal entries, a general ledger and annual accounts in one place
  • Your accountant works in Moneybird and wants you in there too

Frequently asked questions

Can I switch from Moneybird to Factuurmaken.nl?

Yes. You set the invoice number to continue from so your sequence stays intact, and you add clients as you invoice, with their details from the KVK register. Your old invoices stay in Moneybird or come along as PDFs; no import is needed to carry on.

Does Factuurmaken.nl do bookkeeping, like Moneybird?

Not the invoicing tool, and that is a choice. It does invoicing, quotes, reminders, online payments and a bank link that ticks off paid invoices. The books and the VAT return stay with you or your accountant, who reads along for free. If you still want to keep your own books, there is the separate add-on AI Bookkeeping: it prepares your VAT overview, and you file it yourself.

Can I use both side by side?

You can, but it is rarely needed. Anyone who has Moneybird for the books usually invoices in it too. Anyone who only wants to invoice has enough with factuurmaken and lets the accountant read along or exports the UBL files.
