DigiBoox — formerly DigiBTW — aims at the freelancer and does something not every package does: your income tax return sits inside the same package. The difference is language, and how deep the bookkeeping goes.
DigiBoox is a Dutch bookkeeping package aimed at freelancers, formerly DigiBTW, with a free plan for invoicing only and a complete plan at €15 a month on an annual subscription, a 30-day free trial and apps for iOS and Android. It is the only one of the five that states no cap on your number of entries, and you can hire a bookkeeper alongside it for €66 a month. For the income tax return it has its own step-by-step wizard; filing that return costs €130 (€210 together with your tax partner). The only language DigiBoox states is Dutch, in a Dutch and a Belgian edition. The booxx package costs €19 a month and works in five languages — Dutch, English, Polish, Hungarian and Romanian — down to the ledger accounts and the outgoing email. If you are a freelancer, read Dutch comfortably and only want to invoice without paying for it, DigiBoox is cheaper and more direct; if you do not read Dutch, that is where it stops. DigiBoox also keeps the books of a private limited company (bv), but does not mention annual accounts or a KvK filing file. If you want to switch, you import your audit file (XAF) here.

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 MoneybirdStrong on automatic posting and tax reporting, including help with income tax. In Dutch and English; an entry cap on the freelancer plan.
Compare JorttOf 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 MoneyMonkNot 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, if your previous package can produce an audit file (XAF). According to the Dutch Belastingdienst most Dutch accounting packages support it. You import the file 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.
Yes. In booxx you invite them for free with the Bookkeeper role: they post entries, manage the ledger and prepare the VAT return in your administration, and each of you works in your own language. Letting your bookkeeper in is possible in most packages: according to their own websites it is free in Moneybird (Bookkeeper role, does not count towards your user limit), e-Boekhouden.nl and MoneyMonk; in Jortt you invite them as a user or they link your administration from their bookkeeper portal, in DigiBoox you add them as an extra user (cost not stated), and in eFaktura they can look in on every plan. If they'd rather work in their own package, they get the audit file (XAF) in the format they're used to.
Most of them. According to their own websites, Moneybird has a free firm environment in which the business owner takes the subscription; with e-Boekhouden.nl the invoice goes to the firm or to the client; Jortt has a bookkeeper portal for a monthly amount, in which every client the firm registers is a paid subscription; with MoneyMonk the firm can buy licences itself. eFaktura has a free panel for verified bookkeeping firms, and DigiBoox does not mention a firm environment. In booxx you request a firm environment: one worklist across all your clients, while your client reads their own screen in Polish, Hungarian, Romanian or English. Your firm pays from €9 per managed administration per month, excluding VAT, with no fixed firm fee.
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.
