The short version

  • Only sevdesk has a free tier, so it costs nothing to try first.
  • Each has a real cost: 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; Yooz it is accounts payable only, with no requisitioning, sourcing or contract management, so procurement control has to come from somewhere else.

Where each one falls short

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

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

Yooz

  • It is accounts payable only, with no requisitioning, sourcing or contract management, so procurement control has to come from somewhere else.
  • Pricing is published only as a starting point and the real number depends on invoice volume and connector requirements, so the advertised figure understates what most buyers pay.
  • Country compliance depth is strongest in France and francophone Europe; buyers needing many national e-invoicing mandates at once are better served by a vendor built for that.
  • Extraction accuracy on unusual supplier layouts still requires human correction, and the learning improves only with volume, so small-volume users see less benefit from the automation they are paying for.
  • ERP connectors vary in depth between accounting systems, and a shallow connector turns the promised straight-through posting into a periodic file export that someone has to run.
