The short version

Each has a real cost: Billin plan Basico caps usage at just 5 clients, 1 user and 10 products for EUR 6.60/month, well below what most active small businesses need; Ottimate nothing is published about price, and quotes are structured by location and invoice volume, so a group with a few high-volume sites and one with many low-volume sites can receive very different numbers for the same total spend

Where each one falls short

Documented limitations, not opinions. Every one is a constraint you would hit in normal use.

Billin

Plan Basico caps usage at just 5 clients, 1 user and 10 products for EUR 6.60/month, well below what most active small businesses need
Plan Pro still caps clients at 50 and users at 3 for EUR 14/month, so any business with more clients must move to the unlimited EUR 23/month tier

Ottimate

Nothing is published about price, and quotes are structured by location and invoice volume, so a group with a few high-volume sites and one with many low-volume sites can receive very different numbers for the same total spend
The line-item extraction advantage is trained on food and beverage distributor formats, so accuracy on long-tail suppliers, service invoices and one-off vendors falls back to general OCR and needs human review
It is an accounts payable layer, not an inventory or recipe costing system, so operators still need Restaurant365 or an equivalent for true plate costing and the value depends on that integration behaving
The company has rebranded once already from Plate IQ, and much of the third party comparison material still uses the old name or wrongly attributes it to AvidXchange, which makes independent due diligence unusually hard
Payment execution through the platform introduces a dependency on Ottimate for supplier relationships, and moving away later means re-establishing payment details with every vendor rather than simply exporting data
