Where each one falls short
Documented limitations, not opinions. Every one is a constraint you would hit in normal use.
Conta Azul
- It is a Brazilian product with Brazilian fiscal logic, so it is of no use to an entity filing anywhere else, and a foreign group with a Brazilian subsidiary runs it as a local island alongside whatever the group reports in.
- Plans are scoped by revenue band, so a company that crosses a threshold pays more without necessarily using more of the product, and budgeting the software cost means forecasting turnover rather than usage.
- It is not a tax calculation and filing engine, so the accountant still prepares the statutory obligations, and a business that expects the subscription to cover its Brazilian tax compliance has misread what it is buying.
- Municipal service invoice coverage varies by city because each municipality runs its own system, so a business in a smaller or unusual municipality may find its service invoices still have to be issued on the city portal by hand.
- The product targets micro and small companies under the simplified regime, so a business that grows into the more complex Brazilian tax regimes will outgrow it and face a migration at exactly the moment its accounting is becoming harder.
Fiken
- Bank integration available only as add-on (69 NOK/month)
- Project accounting requires separate add-on (69 NOK/month)
- Payroll and employee features cost extra (69 NOK/month)
- Physical mail invoicing costs 25 NOK per invoice

Answered from the vendors’ own pages
Conta Azul: Does Conta Azul do my tax filings?
No. It organises the operational and financial records and shares them with your accountant, who prepares and files the tax obligations. It is the record keeping layer, not the compliance filer.
Fiken: Is there a free trial for Fiken?
Yes, Fiken offers a 30-day free trial with no credit card required. After the trial, the base plan costs 219 NOK per month.
SourceConta Azul: Can it issue service invoices for my city?
Coverage depends on your municipality, because each runs its own service invoice system. Check your specific city before subscribing, since a gap there is the difference between automation and manual issuance.
Fiken: Do additional users cost more on Fiken?
No, Fiken includes unlimited user accounts at no extra cost on the base plan.
SourceConta Azul: Why does the price depend on my revenue?
Plans are banded by turnover rather than purely by features or users. It keeps the entry price low for very small companies, but it means growth triggers a price change independent of how much of the product you use.
Fiken: What add-ons are available and how much do they cost?
Monthly add-ons include bank integration, project accounting, KID number system, and API access (69-99 NOK each). Time tracking, payroll, and expense reimbursements also cost 69 NOK per month. Annual tax filing costs 1,290 NOK for sole proprietors or 1,590 NOK for limited companies.
SourceConta Azul: Will my accountant work in it?
Many Brazilian practices already do, and there is a dedicated accountant role. Ask your accountant before subscribing; if they work in a different product, the friction of running two systems usually falls on you.
Fiken: What are the per-transaction costs?
SMS invoicing costs 3 NOK, e-invoicing via Vipps costs 5 NOK, physical mail invoicing costs 25 NOK, and credit checks cost 15 NOK per transaction.
SourceConta Azul: Is it suitable if I leave the simplified tax regime?
It is built around smaller companies and the simplified regime. As the tax treatment becomes more complex, expect to outgrow it and to face a migration alongside a change of accounting complexity.
Conta Azul: Is there an English interface?
It is a Brazilian product in Portuguese, aimed at Brazilian owners and accountants. Plan for Portuguese language operation.
