e-Boekhouden.nl or booxx?
e-Boekhouden.nl is the price fighter with the most bookkeeping depth, and with fifteen months free for starters it's a hard offer to beat. If you read Dutch.
Short answer
e-Boekhouden.nl is one of the cheapest and, on the bookkeeping side, most complete Dutch packages, with plans from €9.95 a month (ZZP, up to 240 entries a year) to €24.00 a month, a 14-day trial and a starter offer of 15 months free. The application and all its documentation are available in Dutch only. The package booxx costs €19 a month with no entry cap, works in five languages down to the ledger and is free to try for 90 days. If you're looking purely at price and you read Dutch, e-Boekhouden.nl wins; if language is your problem, you can't run the books there yourself. You bring your old books along as an audit file (XAF); it is imported here, ledger and open items included.

Per package
Moneybird
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 MoneybirdJortt
Strong on automatic posting and tax reporting, including help with income tax. In Dutch and English; an entry cap on the freelancer plan.
Compare JorttMoneyMonk
Built 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 MoneyMonkDigiBoox
The former DigiBTW, aimed at freelancers. Free invoicing, €15 a month for everything on an annual subscription, and the only one of the five that states no cap on entries.
Compare DigiBooxeFaktura.nl
Not 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.nlbooxx
The 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.
PricingAccounting software that speaks your language
Five 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 languageEverything a Dutch set of books needs
From your first invoice to annual accounts that balance. No separate modules you have to buy later just to close your year.
FeaturesQuestions about switching
How do you switch from e-Boekhouden.nl to booxx?
With the audit file from e-Boekhouden.nl. According to its own help page you create it under Beheer > Exporteren > Auditfile. You choose the financial year or period, a weekly or monthly breakdown, and the version; the page mentions version 2.0 and 3.2 as examples. Choose 3.2 if you want to import the file into booxx. You import the file into booxx when you create your administration: your chart of accounts, your entries and your open items come across. Create one file per financial year, before you cancel the old subscription.
Can I bring my bookkeeping with me if I switch?
Yes, 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.
Can I switch halfway through the year?
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.
Will my bookkeeper work with this?
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.
I'm a bookkeeper with clients of my own. Which package has an environment for a firm?
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.
Why do you name your competitors?
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.
