tjent vs the alternatives

tjent is a fast, native macOS app for German freelancers who want compliant e-invoices (ZUGFeRD, XRechnung, Factur-X), a light EÜR/UStVA and a clean DATEV hand-off — built on the hours they tracked in Døgn, kept entirely on their Mac. It is not a full cloud accounting suite, a multi-user platform, or a fit for a GmbH that needs double-entry books; if that is you, several of the tools below will serve you better, and we say so plainly.

Each comparison names what the other tool is genuinely better at first, then where tjent still wins. Pick the one you were weighing up:

• tjent vs lexoffice — German cloud accounting. One of the most established German cloud accounting products — bank sync, tax-advisor collaboration, anywhere.
• tjent vs sevDesk — German cloud bookkeeping. Popular German cloud invoicing and bookkeeping with bank import, DATEV and mobile.
• tjent vs FastBill — Cloud invoicing + banking. Cloud invoicing and receipt management with bank connection for freelancers.
• tjent vs Billomat — Cloud invoicing + API. Cloud invoicing and quoting with an open API and many integrations.
• tjent vs Papierkram — Cloud suite w/ time tracking. A German cloud suite bundling projects, time tracking, invoicing and banking.
• tjent vs WISO Mein Büro — German desktop business suite. Comprehensive German business software (strong on Windows) with ELSTER and orders.
