Billit

Overview

Billit is a cloud invoicing and administration service for businesses that need to send invoices through Peppol and keep payment and document workflows together. It is strongest for smaller businesses that can work within a monthly document allowance; higher-volume users should weigh the extra-usage charges and custom-pricing tier before committing.

Alongside invoice creation and payment tracking, Billit can scan VAT receipts, send overdue-payment reminders, and share documents with an accountant. Its Peppol workflow converts invoices into the required format before transmission, while tax validation and a broad range of structured formats support different exchange needs.

Billit supports BISv2, BISv3, BISv3AUNZ, BISv3SG, XRechnung2.2, XRechnung3, ZUGFeRD, ZUGFeRDBisV3, Factur-X, FacturXBisV3, PTCIUS, ROCIUS, MYPint, CII and SI. That range is useful when customers or trading partners require specific structured formats, though format coverage alone does not determine which one a business should use. See our Electronic Invoicing Software directory for more options.

Key features

Peppol invoicing and document handling

Billit turns invoices into the required Peppol format and sends them over the network, which makes it a practical fit for businesses whose invoicing process needs Peppol transmission. It also tracks invoice payments and lets businesses share documents with their accountant, keeping those administrative tasks in the same service. Tax validation and API access add useful capabilities for businesses with more structured workflows.

Receipt scanning and reminders

The app scans VAT receipts and recognizes relevant data and amounts from submitted documents. That can reduce manual entry for businesses that regularly collect receipts, although the service counts receipts as well as invoices and credit notes against its monthly document allowance. Automatic reminders for overdue invoices support follow-up without making the service a dedicated collections product.

Integrations and security

Billit connects with banks, accounting packages, online shops, cash register systems and business software, and its open API allows custom integrations. Its directory includes Exact Online, Winbooks, Octopus, ING, KBC Touch and KBC Mobile, giving prospective users concrete starting points for checking compatibility with their existing setup.

Billit says it is certified to ISO 27001:2022 and undergoes yearly internal and external audits. It describes encryption in transit and at rest, access controls including MFA, and production hosting in EU data centers in the Netherlands and Ireland. Support channels include the in-platform help button, phone, a help center and workshops.

Pricing

Billit has a free license, paid subscriptions based on monthly document volumes, and a 15-day trial. Its pricing note gives paid pricing from €6.90/mo (annual), while the plan entries also show annual-billing prices and monthly equivalents; compare the displayed term carefully before choosing.

The 25-document plan suits a low-volume business that wants all features, but it includes only one user. The 500- and 1000-document tiers raise the monthly allowance without adding included users, so they fit higher document volumes better than growing teams that need multiple seats.

Invoices, credit notes and receipts all use the allowance, and exceeding it incurs extra-usage charges. That makes scanning receipts part of the same capacity decision as sending invoices. Businesses routinely processing more than 1000 documents a month need a customized proposal; those close to any plan cap should account for potential overage costs.

Platforms

Billit is a cloud service available on web, Android and iOS, with API access for integrations. The mobile apps are relevant for receipt scanning, while the API can support custom connections to business systems.

Who it's for

Billit is aimed at starters, freelancers, self-employed people, non-profits, growing businesses, medium-sized companies and larger firms. In practice, its free Peppol-only license best suits businesses testing a basic sales-invoice workflow. The 25-document tier is a more complete option for a small operator, while businesses with more documents can move to larger allowances or request custom pricing.

It is less compelling for a team that needs several user seats within the listed subscription tiers, or for a business unable to predict usage across invoices, credit notes and receipts. The single included user on the paid volume plans and the extra-usage charges make those requirements central to the buying decision.

Pros and cons

Peppol transmission is built into invoicing: Billit converts invoices to the required format and sends them over the network.

One workflow covers several records: Payment tracking, receipt recognition, reminders and accountant document sharing extend beyond invoice dispatch.

Broad integration options: Connections to banks, accounting packages, commerce and register systems, plus an open API, give businesses ways to link existing tools.

Document counting spans multiple workflows: Receipts and credit notes consume the same allowance as invoices, and extra usage is billed.

Paid plans include one user: Higher document caps do not, on the stated terms, add seats for a larger team.

The free tier is restricted: It covers Peppol sales invoices only and has limited functionality.

Alternatives

B2Brouter is worth considering when a very small transaction allowance is sufficient: its free Basic plan includes up to 10 contacts, 24 transactions a year and one user. That annual transaction cap may be too restrictive for regular invoicing, while Billit offers monthly document tiers and receipt scanning.

Tungsten Power PDF is a paid PDF editor for readers whose priority is desktop PDF creation, editing, conversion, redaction or Bates stamping rather than Billit's invoicing and Peppol workflow.

BillingEngine offers a free plan with three invoices, three quotes and three receipts per month for one user, making it an alternative for someone who needs only a few monthly documents. Billit's free tier instead focuses on Peppol sales invoices.

PeppolSoft has a free Buyer plan for receiving through its web portal and app, with ERP integration available on request and subject to budget approval. It is the more relevant option when receiving rather than sending Peppol documents is the priority.

Peppox is a paid alternative with a Company plan at €29 a month that includes 1,000 invoices per month, then charges €0.89 per invoice. It may suit a business that wants a high stated invoice allowance at a fixed monthly price, but Billit's plans also cover receipts, credit notes and related administration.

Unimaze is another option in the electronic invoicing category.

Holodeck B2B is free open-source software under GNU GPL 3 for readers comfortable with a Java runtime 11 or later; its listed platform support is Linux, macOS and Windows.

ONESOURCE Pagero is offered by Thomson Reuters, whose work includes compliance, tax and legal solutions, and has a free-access plan. It is an alternative for readers considering an e-invoicing product from that provider.

Verdict

Choose Billit if you need Peppol invoice transmission alongside payment tracking, receipt scanning, reminders and integrations in one cloud service, and your usage fits its document allowance. Its main appeal is the breadth of that workflow; its main caveats are the narrow free license, one included user on paid plans and extra charges when invoices, credit notes and receipts exceed the cap. Look elsewhere if you need multiple included seats or a simpler usage model.
