The short version

  • Only Billit has a free tier, so it costs nothing to try first.
  • Each has a real cost: Billit annual billing required to get approximately 15% discount (one free month included); Modern Treasury you must already have or be able to obtain your own bank accounts with the right connectivity, so early stage companies without a banking relationship cannot use it and are pushed towards a sponsor bank model instead.

Where each one falls short

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

Billit

  • Annual billing required to get approximately 15% discount (one free month included)
  • Additional user seats cost €5 per user per month on top of plan price
  • Overage pricing per document decreases with tier, penalizing rapid growth within a tier

Modern Treasury

  • You must already have or be able to obtain your own bank accounts with the right connectivity, so early stage companies without a banking relationship cannot use it and are pushed towards a sponsor bank model instead.
  • Pricing rests on an annual minimum commitment, and companies that miss their volume forecast pay the minimum regardless, which makes the headline per-transaction rate close to irrelevant in year one.
  • Supported bank connectivity is a finite list, so if your bank is not on it you are either waiting for an integration or changing banks, which is a far larger project than adopting the software.
  • It is software over banking, not banking, so it does not solve card issuing, deposit accounts or the licensing questions that a company embedding financial products still has to answer elsewhere.
  • The ledger is genuinely good but adopting it properly means making it the source of truth for balances in your product, which is a significant application change rather than a payments integration and is where implementations run long.

Answered from the vendors’ own pages

Billit: What does Billit Starter plan include and how much does it cost?

Billit Starter is €7.50 per month (or €22.92 per month with annual billing, roughly 15% off) and supports up to 25 documents per month. All plans include Peppol e-invoicing, invoice customization, quotes, mobile app, bank integration, and payment reminders. Extra documents over the limit cost €0.50 each.

Modern Treasury: Is Modern Treasury a bank or a banking as a service provider?

Neither. You hold your own bank accounts and it is software over them. That avoids sponsor bank concentration risk but means you need the bank relationship yourself.

Billit: How much does it cost to add team members to a Billit account?

The first user is included in your plan. Additional team members cost €5 per user per month. Bookkeepers and accountants can access the accountant portal for free.

Source
Modern Treasury: What does it cost?

Not published. A platform access fee plus usage fees across rails, on an annual term with a single minimum commitment. Negotiate the minimum, not the per-transaction rate.

Billit: What is the difference between Billit Growth and Professional plans?

Billit Growth is €25/month for up to 500 documents monthly (€0.25 per overage). Professional is €250/month for up to 1,000 documents monthly (€0.15 per overage). Both include all features; the only differences are document limit and overage rates.

Source
Modern Treasury: Which rails are supported?

ACH, wires, RTP, FedNow, push to card, cheques and stablecoin payments, subject to what your bank supports.

Modern Treasury: Do we still need our own compliance programme?

Yes. KYB, KYC and transaction monitoring are included in the platform, but you are the one holding the accounts and the regulatory obligation sits with you and your bank.
