Exact Online too heavy? This is not a lighter Exact — it's something different.
Exact Online is a professional accounting suite — built for accountants, businesses with staff, and anyone who wants their full company administration in one tool. FactuurSturen does none of that. We only do invoices and quotes. For the freelancer who leaves bookkeeping to an accountant and only wants to invoice — no reporting modules, no time tracking, no general ledger.
What are you looking for?
A professional accounting suite
Full administration, reporting, time tracking, inventory, possibly multiple staff members. For heavier operations, Exact, Twinfield, or Yuki fits better. FactuurSturen does not replace those.
Only invoices + quotes
One freelancer, a few invoices a month, an accountant who handles filings. Nothing more needed. That's FactuurSturen — the successor to the discontinued Factuursturen.nl.
Why people switch from Exact to FactuurSturen
Not built for one-person businesses
Exact is built for SMEs and accountants. A freelancer who only wants to invoice gets 90% functionality on top that they'll never use — and pays for it.
No accounting jargon needed
In Exact things are called "journal entry", "general ledger", "suspense account". In FactuurSturen, an invoice is an invoice. For someone who isn't an accountant, that saves a lot of figuring out.
Simple pricing model
Exact works with tiers based on business size and modules. FactuurSturen charges per sent invoice — from €2/month for 3 invoices. No surprises, no scale-up debates.
Ready in minutes instead of a learning curve
Exact typically requires explanation or training. FactuurSturen explains itself in 2 minutes — open the tool, fill in your details, send the invoice.
Frequently asked questions
When is Exact Online the better choice?
If you run a business with staff, multiple product lines, inventory management, or if your accountant specifically uses Exact. For scale-ups and SMEs, Exact is often the right choice. FactuurSturen is not built for that.
Can I bring my clients over from Exact?
Exact supports CSV export for clients and products. Import them into FactuurSturen. Keep ongoing bookkeeping in Exact if you want; for the invoicing side you can move to FactuurSturen.
What if my accountant uses Exact?
Many accountants happily accept a monthly PDF or CSV export of invoices. Ask — if your accountant is flexible and only does your bookkeeping, you don't have to use Exact yourself to work with them.
Is this the successor to factuursturen.nl?
Yes. FactuurSturen.app has the same focus as the discontinued Factuursturen.nl — only invoicing, not bookkeeping. Many freelancers who were advised to move to Exact after it shut down found it was total overkill.
