Fakturoid

Fakturoid is an invoicing and business-tracking service for self-employed people and small businesses. It is best suited to businesses dealing with Czech or Slovak VAT that want billing, payment follow-up and tax-related tools together. Its regional tax support is a clear strength, but the free tier’s five-customer ceiling is restrictive.

Overview

Launched in 2009, Fakturoid brings invoice creation, payment tracking, expense records and business statistics into one service. Saved contacts, templates and QR payment codes help make routine billing more orderly; income, profit and tax estimates add context beyond individual invoices. That combination is more useful to a small business managing its records than to someone who only needs to issue an occasional invoice.

Fakturoid supports Czech and Slovak VAT and checks for required invoice details, giving it a strong fit for businesses operating in those markets. Online payments and a client portal are supported too. Businesses outside that regional context may have less reason to choose it over a simpler invoicing tool.

Key features

Invoicing and payment follow-up

Invoices can include QR payment codes and use saved contacts and templates. The service can also match bank payments to invoices and send reminders automatically. Those follow-up features begin with Na každý den, so the lower-priced tiers are less suitable for businesses hoping to reduce reconciliation and chasing work.

Business records and integrations

Expense records, income and profit statistics, and tax estimates make Fakturoid a broader business tool than an invoice generator. Its integration catalog spans ecommerce, CRM, project management, payment gateways, accounting software and banks. Exports to Pohoda, Money S3, ABRA Flexi, Ježek DUEL, EKONOM, Harmonik and Premier, along with PDF, Excel, XML and CSV, give accountants several ways to work with the records.

API, mobile apps and security

API v3 documentation and official PHP and Ruby libraries make the service relevant to businesses that want to connect their own software. The free plan includes 1,500 API requests per month; the higher tiers raise that quota. Fakturoid has iPhone and Android apps and works in a modern browser on computers, tablets and phones.

Fakturoid says it uses HTTPS, bcrypt password storage and optional two-factor authentication. Data is backed up daily, with more frequent database backups and copies kept in a separate geographic location. The company also says most support emails receive a reply within an hour and offers chat support.

Pricing

Fakturoid uses a freemium model with a free plan and a 30-day trial. Prices below are shown as supplied; the paid tiers are billed monthly.

Zdarma is genuinely useful for issuing invoices without a volume limit, but its five-customer cap makes it a trial-sized option for businesses whose client lists grow. Na lehko removes that cap, though it leaves payment matching, reminders and expense records out. Na každý den is the practical step up for businesses that want those tools; Na maximum adds recurring invoices and expenses, VAT returns and inventory-related functions. Each paid tier includes one user plus an accountant, so teams needing more seats should account for the stated additional-user charge on Na lehko.

Platforms

Fakturoid runs on the web and offers iOS and Android apps, with API access for integrations and custom connections. This mix suits users who need to issue or review invoices away from a desktop, while developers can work with the documented API and official libraries.

Who it's for

Fakturoid is a strong choice for freelancers and small businesses working with Czech or Slovak VAT, particularly when invoice management, payment reminders, expenses and tax estimates belong in the same workflow. It also suits businesses that need accounting exports or API connections. It is less compelling for a business with a larger team on a low budget, a customer list beyond five that is not ready to pay, or a need for region-specific tax support outside its Czech and Slovak focus.

Pros and cons

• Pro: Czech and Slovak VAT support and invoice-detail checks serve businesses working in those markets.
• Pro: Payment matching, automatic reminders and expense records reduce manual bookkeeping work on Na každý den and above.
• Pro: Broad accounting exports and API v3 support make it easier to connect Fakturoid with other workflows.
• Con: The free plan limits users to five customers, despite unlimited invoices.
• Con: Payment automation and expense records require the $211 a month Na každý den tier.
• Con: Na lehko allows only one user plus an accountant, with extra users charged separately.

Verdict

Choose Fakturoid if you work with Czech or Slovak VAT and want invoicing connected to payment follow-up, expenses and tax estimates. Its main advantage is that regional fit paired with a broad set of business tools; its main drawback is that useful automation sits above the free and entry paid tiers, while the free customer limit is easy to outgrow. If those local tax needs do not apply or keeping subscription costs low is the priority, compare alternatives before committing.
