Jortt goes furthest on automatic posting and on tax reporting — including a head start on your income tax return. It's also the most Dutch of the three, and that's exactly the point.
Jortt is a Dutch accounting package with a strong focus on automatic posting and tax reporting, with a free entry plan and paid plans from €19.95 a month (Jortt ZZP, up to 250 entries a month) to €34.95 a month. The package presents itself as fully Dutch-language. Booxx costs €19 a month with no entry cap and works in five languages, down to the ledger accounts and the outgoing email. If you want maximum automation and tax reporting in Dutch, Jortt is stronger; if you don't read Dutch, it isn't an option.

Next to MoneybirdThe cheapest of the three and the most complete on the bookkeeping side. Dutch-language; English support is limited.
Next to e-Boekhouden.nlBooxx has three plans: Free (€0 a month, up to five sales invoices a month), Standard (€19 a month, everything included, with VAT returns and an automatic bank connection) and Pause (€4 a month, read-only for a set of books that is temporarily dormant). All amounts are per set of books per month, excluding VAT, and cancellable monthly. There are no setup fees and the free plan asks for no payment method.
PricingYes. Every Dutch accounting package can produce an audit file (XAF) — that's a legal requirement. You import it 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.
They can see your books if you let them in, and they get the audit file in the format they're used to. If they'd rather work in their own package, that audit file is exactly what they need.
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.
Create a set of books, send your first invoice and see whether it works for you. The free plan asks for no payment method, so there is nothing to cancel later.
