In their own words
BillingEngine
BillingEngine is cloud invoicing and accounting software for freelancers and small businesses. It creates electronic invoices in ZUGFeRD and XRechnung formats compliant with EN 16931, and every plan includes an unlimited email inbox for incoming e-invoices. Accepted quotes can become invoices, and reminders can be sent at several dunning levels. Receipt recognition extracts amount, date, tax rate and supplier, then matches receipts to expenses. Users can export data in DATEV, CSV, XLS, XML or PDF formats; listed integrations include DATEV export and a REST API for customers, invoices and payments. The free plan allows three invoices, three quotes and three receipts per month for one user. Basic costs €6 a month plus VAT and allows 30 of each document type monthly for two users. Premium costs €12 a month plus VAT and provides unlimited invoices, quotes and receipts for five users. BillingEngine says data is encrypted in transit, stored on servers in Germany and archived in a GoBD-compliant manner.
PeppolSoft
PeppolSoft is a Peppol Access Point for exchanging electronic invoices through DBNA in the United States and OpenPeppol in Europe. Its API sends and receives invoices, while a browser-based platform handles transactions, document status, format validation and connected participants. The service uses a four-corner model: access points route documents between suppliers and buyers, supporting interoperability without bilateral integrations. Buyers can verify invoice authenticity and integrity and securely store and retrieve invoice PDFs and related documents. Annual subscriptions include unlimited electronic document transactions. Plans include Starter at $1,200 a year, Essential at $2,400 a year, Growth at $4,800 a year and Enterprise at $12,000 a year. A free Buyer plan supports receiving through the web portal and app; ERP integration is subject to request and budget approval. The homepage also lists $0.10 sent or received, with API use, registration, sandbox access and idle periods with no transactions free. The DBNAlliance validation API requires UBL 2.3 and cannot process XHE; United Kingdom availability is coming soon.
