The short version

  • Only Fakturoid has a free tier, so it costs nothing to try first.
  • Each has a real cost: Cledara control only extends to subscriptions paid on a Cledara card, so anything billed by invoice, bank transfer or a legacy company card is invisible to the system and undermines the inventory it promises.; Fakturoid free Zdarma plan is capped at just 5 clients, though invoices themselves are unlimited

Where each one falls short

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

Cledara

  • Control only extends to subscriptions paid on a Cledara card, so anything billed by invoice, bank transfer or a legacy company card is invisible to the system and undermines the inventory it promises.
  • Tier limits are set by number of applications rather than headcount, and twenty applications on the Basic plan is fewer than most companies of fifty actually run, so buyers often land on a higher tier than the entry price suggests.
  • The modules that turn it from a payment layer into a management platform, spend optimisation, IT management and compliance, are each priced at £150 to £200 a month, comparable to the base plan itself.
  • Usage data is inferred from payment and integration signals rather than deep application telemetry, so its judgement of whether a tool is underused is weaker than a discovery product built on single sign-on and API usage.
  • It is a card issuer as well as a software vendor, which adds financial counterparty considerations and means a change in its banking arrangements would affect how the company pays every one of its suppliers.

Fakturoid

  • Free Zdarma plan is capped at just 5 clients, though invoices themselves are unlimited
  • VAT compliance features, inventory management and payment gateways (GoPay, PayPal) are reserved for the top Na maximum tier at 393 Kc/month, not available on the two cheaper paid plans

Answered from the vendors’ own pages

Cledara: What does it cost?

Basic is £100 a month for up to 20 applications, with Premium covering up to 75 and Pro above that. Add-on modules are £150 to £200 a month each, and annual payment saves 16%.

Fakturoid: Is there a free plan for Fakturoid?

Yes. Fakturoid offers a free plan for businesses with up to 5 customers. It includes professional invoices with QR codes, 6 invoice designs, mobile app access, fast support, and 1,500 API requests per month.

Source
Cledara: Does it find software we did not tell it about?

Only what passes through its cards or connected integrations. Subscriptions paid by invoice or another card stay hidden, which is the main limitation of the model.

Fakturoid: Does Fakturoid offer a trial?

Yes. Fakturoid offers a 30-day free trial for customers to test the platform. New businesses with company registration less than 12 months old receive 50% discount on their first annual invoice.

Source
Cledara: How does cancelling work?

You cancel the virtual card for that subscription, which stops the payment. It does not remove your contractual obligation, so check notice periods.

Fakturoid: What discount do I get if I pay annually?

Fakturoid offers annual discounts on all paid tiers. For example, the Lite plan costs 151 CZK per month but only 164 CZK per month if paid annually (compared to regular prices of 182 CZK and 199 CZK respectively).

Source
Cledara: Is the application limit by users or by tools?

By tools. Twenty on Basic, seventy-five on Premium. Count your actual subscriptions before assuming the entry price applies to you.
