MoneyMonk is built for the freelancer who sells hours: time tracking and project administration sit at its core, not on the side. The difference is what your price depends on, and which language you can keep your books in.
MoneyMonk is a Dutch bookkeeping package for freelancers built around time tracking and project administration, with plans from €0 (Starter, free for 15 months) to €37.50 a month and a 30-day free trial. What makes it unusual is that your plan moves with your turnover: the three cheaper plans (Starter, Basis and Pro) limit both the number of bank transactions a month (20 to 50) and your annual turnover (€20,000 to €100,000); the most expensive plan, Ultra (€37.50), has unlimited bank transactions and is meant for a turnover from €100,000. Grow past one of those limits and you move up a plan. The booxx package costs €19 a month with no cap at all and works in five languages — Dutch, English, Polish, Hungarian and Romanian — right down to the ledger accounts. If you sell hours and read Dutch comfortably, MoneyMonk is the better choice; if you do not read Dutch, you cannot run the core of your administration there yourself. You bring your existing books along here as an audit file (XAF), ledger and open items included.

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.nlThe 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 DigiBooxNot 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.
