Key features

Invoice handling and Peppol

Billit covers sending sales invoices and tracking their payment status, with the option to share documents with an accountant. For Peppol e-invoicing, it converts invoices to the required format before sending them over the network. The Free License focuses on sending sales invoices via Peppol; the paid subscriptions include all features, subject to their document allowances.

Receipt scanning and reminders

The Billit app can scan VAT receipts. The service recognizes relevant information and amounts from submitted documents, helping bring receipt details into the administration workflow. It can also send automatic reminders when invoices are overdue.

Integrations, security and help

Billit connects with banks, accounting packages, online shops, cash register systems and other business software, and offers an open API for custom integrations. Its integration directory includes Exact Online, Winbooks, Octopus, ING, KBC Touch and KBC Mobile.

Billit says it holds ISO 27001:2022 certification and conducts yearly internal and external audits. It says data is encrypted in transit and at rest, access controls include MFA, and its production environment is hosted in EU data centers in the Netherlands and Ireland. Customers can contact support through the platform help button; Billit also lists phone support, a help center and workshops.

Pricing

Billit has a freemium pricing model, with a free plan, paid plans and a 15-day trial. The listed plan details use EUR amounts; the annual-billing entries also show separate monthly figures.

• Free License: free. It allows Peppol sales e-invoices, with limited functionality.
• Up to 25 documents/month: €690 a month, billed Annual billing; the page also lists €7,50 per month. Includes all features and one user.
• Up to 500 documents/month: €2,292 a month, billed Annual billing; the page also lists €25,00 per month. Includes all features and one user.
• Up to 1000 documents/month: €22,920 a month, billed Annual billing; the page also lists €250,00 per month. Includes all features and one user.
• More than 1000 documents/month: price on request, with a customized proposal.

Invoices, credit notes and receipts sent or processed count toward the monthly document allowance. Usage above a subscription's allowance is billed as extra usage, so the plan limit is important when estimating cost. The listed general pricing note says paid plans start from €6.90/mo (annual); the specific plan entries above retain their listed figures.

Platforms

Billit is a cloud service available on Android, iOS and web, and it provides an API. Its connected services and integrations can extend its place in a business's invoicing and administration setup.

Who it's for

Billit describes its subscriptions as serving starters, freelancers, self-employed people and non-profits, as well as growing businesses, medium-sized companies and larger firms. The free license is narrowly scoped to Peppol sales invoices, while paid plans are arranged around monthly document volume and include all features. Businesses should account for receipts and credit notes as well as invoices when comparing their expected activity with a plan allowance.

Pros and cons

• Pros: Peppol invoice conversion and sending; receipt scanning with automatic data recognition; overdue-payment reminders; connections to business systems and an open API; stated security certification and EU data-center hosting.
• Cons: The free license has limited functionality and covers sales invoices via Peppol only; document allowances include invoices, credit notes and receipts, and excess usage is billed separately; pricing is shown in multiple forms that should be checked against the applicable billing terms.

Alternatives

Other products to consider in the electronic invoicing category include B2Brouter, BillingEngine, ONESOURCE Pagero, Tungsten e-Invoice Connect, Tungsten Power PDF, Peppox, Unifiedpost Banqup and PeppolSoft.

Verdict

Billit brings invoice creation and sending, payment tracking, receipt processing and accountant document sharing into one cloud service, with Peppol support at its center. Its integration options and structured-format coverage are relevant for businesses coordinating invoicing with other systems. The main points to weigh are the restricted scope of the free license, the volume-based allowances, and the additional charge for exceeding them. Checking expected monthly invoices, credit notes and receipts against the relevant plan is essential before choosing a subscription.
