Choosing well
Check how you will access it
Confirm whether the service offers an Android app, web access or an API that fits your setup. Compare iOS, Windows and macOS support when your work spans devices.
A web interface can be useful when there is no Android app, while direct API access suits software integrations.
Compare free access and paid entry
A free plan or trial can let you assess an integration before paying. Check the stated paid starting price and whether pricing is listed or available on request.
Billy API lists a free plan with paid access from 160 DKK a month, while e-Boekhouden API lists a 14-day trial and plans from €9.95 per month.
Match the accounting workflow
Review included connections, invoice sync, journal entries and sync direction. These details show whether data can move into your accounting system, out to another service or in both directions.
Webhooks can notify connected software about changes, which may matter for timely updates.
Check testing and authentication
Look for a sandbox environment before connecting live accounting data. Compare the API authentication method with what your software can support.
If you need to read or change the code, check the tool's licence and documentation before adopting it.
