What Rompslomp is
Rompslomp is an online bookkeeping suite for freelancers and small businesses, with a free entry tier for a limited number of invoices and quotes, a separate invoicing plan, and paid plans that hold the bookkeeping, the bank link and the VAT return. It aims at business owners who want to do their own books without bookkeeping knowledge.
What Factuurmaken.nl is
Factuurmaken.nl is an invoicing tool. It does the invoice and what is attached to it: quotes with instalments, reminders, online payments with iDEAL, recurring invoices, e-invoices over UBL and Peppol, and a bank link that ticks off paid invoices. The bookkeeping itself it leaves to your accountant, who reads along for free.
The difference in practice
If you want to do the books yourself, Rompslomp is built for that and everything sits in one tool. If you have an accountant, a bookkeeping suite charges you for work that is already being done, while at factuurmaken you only pay for invoicing and getting paid. Rompslomp’s free plan is a good entry for anyone who invoices very little; anyone who wants reminders and a bank link ends up on a paid plan at either.
