The short version

Only sevdesk has a free tier, so it costs nothing to try first.
Each has a real cost: Rydoo a five-user minimum means very small teams pay for seats they do not have, which removes Rydoo from consideration for firms of two or three.; sevdesk the free Kostenlos plan caps invoices and e-invoices at just 3 per month, forcing an upgrade to the Rechnung plan for unlimited invoicing

Where each one falls short

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

Rydoo

A five-user minimum means very small teams pay for seats they do not have, which removes Rydoo from consideration for firms of two or three.
Pricing is per user rather than per active user, so organisations where most staff claim expenses twice a year still pay a full seat every month for them.
There is no card issuing, so real-time spend control and pre-authorisation are outside the product and remain with your bank.
Per diem and multi-entity handling sit on the higher tier, so the countries that most need Rydoo generally cannot buy the cheap plan.
Receipt extraction quality varies by language and receipt format, and finance teams still review a meaningful share of claims by hand.

sevdesk

The free Kostenlos plan caps invoices and e-invoices at just 3 per month, forcing an upgrade to the Rechnung plan for unlimited invoicing
API access and cost center tracking are reserved for the top Buchhaltung Pro tier at EUR 13.95 to EUR 34.90/month depending on commitment length, not included in the mid-tier Buchhaltung plan
