The problem
Modern businesses work with dozens of tools. But instead of creating clarity, they create gaps, duplicated work and blind spots.
Your data is everywhere – in Excel, emails, clouds and systems. Nothing is truly connected.
Too much manual work, too many media breaks. That costs time, nerves and money.
No overview of incoming payments, open items and cash flow.
Due dates, payments, reminders – spotted too late, paid for too dearly.
BILLEVO brings together everything you need to manage your finances – clearly laid out, local‑first and in one place.
From your first invoice to the handover to your tax advisor.
Templates, a receipt scanner & payment reconciliation save you time.
Up-to-date numbers from your own data – maximum clarity.
BILLEVO gives you back control – so you can focus on what really matters.
Create, finalize and send – with a check of the §14 mandatory invoice details (UStG) and secure number sequences.
Turn a quote into an invoice or a delivery note with one click – including batch invoices.
The local receipt scanner (OCR) reads your receipts – you check the suggestion and confirm.
Templates with frequency & term – create due invoices with one click, individually or in a batch.
A payment reminder plus up to 3 dunning levels, fees & late-payment interest – you approve each one.
Revenue, expenses, profit, open items, cash-basis profit & loss (EÜR) and preliminary VAT return (UStVA) figures – as PDF & CSV.
Create, receive and archive ZUGFeRD & XRechnung GoBD‑aligned – right out of the box.
DATEV-compatible export (SKR03/04) and a tax-advisor package via one-click export.

Rent or own
An honest comparison of models – not of individual vendors. It’s about the principle: rent monthly and get locked out in the end, or buy once and keep your data.
| What matters | Model · Rent Typical subscription | Buy once · Own BILLEVO |
|---|---|---|
| Cost over the years The centerpiece |
Keeps going as long as you pay. |
1 year3 years5 years
Stays €99 – at 1, 3 or 5 years. Paid once. No renewal. |

Assumption: a typical subscription around €20/month (example calculation). Real subscription prices vary widely – this isn’t about an exact figure, but about the model: rent vs. own. |

| Never locked out Your data is yours |
After cancelling, often read-only or fully locked. Your data usually held hostage by the subscription. |
Reading, export, backup & printing always work – even without a licence, even after the trial. Open formats: CSV, JSON, PDF. |
| E-invoicing & duties included |
E-invoicing, OCR and dunning are often only in the higher tier or cost extra. |
ZUGFeRD & XRechnung, dunning, EÜR/VAT prep, DATEV-compatible export, local OCR scanner – included, never behind a paywall. |
| Local & GDPR instead of pure cloud |
Usually pure cloud: data on third-party servers, often online-only. |

Made-up reviews? Not with us.No one can sell you that seal. BILLEVO works GoBD‑aligned: an audit log with a SHA‑256 hash chain – tamper‑evident and verifiable inside the app.
But it prepares it cleanly: cash-basis profit & loss (EÜR), preliminary VAT return (UStVA) figures and a DATEV-compatible export – your tax advisor gets data they can actually work with.
That's why BILLEVO archives e‑invoice originals GoBD‑aligned (8 years, byte‑identical) and additionally backs up automatically – locally, in your own folders.
