e-Boekhouden alternative? Not a lighter e-Boekhouden — something different.
e-Boekhouden is a full accounting suite — VAT filing, bank integration, time tracking, year-end reports. FactuurSturen does none of that. We only do invoices and quotes. For freelancers who leave bookkeeping to someone else, or stay with e-Boekhouden for the filing but want a simpler place to invoice.
What are you looking for?
A complete accounting suite
Doing VAT filing yourself, bank integration, year-end reports? Then e-Boekhouden, Moneybird, or SnelStart fits better. FactuurSturen does not replace those and does not compete with them.
Just invoices + quotes
Invoice clients, send reminders, make quotes. Nothing else. That's FactuurSturen — the successor to the discontinued Factuursturen.nl, for people who don't want more than that.
Why people switch from e-Boekhouden to FactuurSturen
Interface feels heavy
e-Boekhouden is built on a long-standing foundation. Many features, many tabs, many bookkeeping terms. Not illogical — but a lot if you only want to send an invoice.
I use 5% of what's in it
An invoice, a reminder, sometimes a quote. For those who need no more, every extra menu feels like overhead.
My accountant does the rest
If you have an accountant who handles all VAT, bank statements and year-end work, you don't need an accounting suite. An invoicing tool is enough.
Different pricing model
e-Boekhouden works with fixed monthly plans. FactuurSturen charges per invoice (credit-based). If you send few invoices, you're often cheaper off.
Frequently asked questions
When is e-Boekhouden the better choice?
When you do your own VAT filing, want to process bank statements, or create year-end reports without an accountant. e-Boekhouden is a good package for those who want to manage their entire administration themselves. FactuurSturen does not replace that.
Can I bring my clients and invoices over from e-Boekhouden?
Clients and products are usually exportable as CSV. Sent invoices can stay in e-Boekhouden as archive. For ongoing bookkeeping you keep e-Boekhouden; for new invoices you can move to FactuurSturen.
What does FactuurSturen actually do?
Create invoices (with your logo, correct VAT, automatic numbering), send by email, send automatic reminders when payment is late, make quotes that turn into invoices with one click, track payment status, manage clients, QR code on invoice for iDEAL payment. Everything to do with invoicing, nothing outside it.
Is this the successor to factuursturen.nl?
Yes. FactuurSturen.app has the same spirit as the discontinued Factuursturen.nl — only invoicing, not bookkeeping. After it shut down, many people landed on accounting suites like e-Boekhouden — which proved overkill for most.
