Fakturoid

Fakturoid is an online invoicing service originally created for self-employed people. Users can create invoices with QR payment codes, saved contacts, and templates, then match bank payments to invoices and send payment reminders automatically. It supports Czech and Slovak VAT and monitors required invoice details. Other tools cover expense records, income and profit statistics, and tax estimates. Invoices can be exported to accounting systems including Pohoda, Money S3, ABRA Flexi, Ježek DUEL, EKONOM, Harmonik, and Premier, or as PDF, Excel, XML, and CSV files. The integration catalog includes ecommerce, CRM, project management, payment gateways, accounting software, and banks. Developers have API v3 documentation and official PHP and Ruby libraries. The service works on Android, iPhone, and modern web browsers on computers, tablets, and phones. Its free plan supports unlimited invoices for up to five customers, one user, and 1,500 API requests per month. Paid plans add features such as payment matching, recurring invoices, VAT returns, quotes, and inventory. A 30-day trial is available; the service launched in 2009 and is based in Prague.

Fakturoid combines invoicing with payment follow-up, expense tracking, and tax-related tools. The free tier covers a small customer base, while paid plans add capabilities such as recurring invoices and VAT returns.

It suits self-employed people and small businesses that need invoicing, payment tracking, and expense records. Its exports, integrations, and API may also fit teams connecting invoicing with other business tools.

Fakturoid is an online invoicing service that grew from a tool for self-employed people into a broader business-records platform. It is best suited to Czech and Slovak freelancers and small businesses that want invoicing alongside local VAT support and payment follow-up. Its appeal is that combination; the free plan’s five-customer ceiling makes it a limited long-term option for a growing client list.

Overview

Launched in 2009 and based in Prague, Fakturoid connects invoice creation with payment tracking, expenses and tax estimates. Saved contacts, invoice templates and QR payment codes give billing a repeatable structure, while income and profit statistics help users keep an eye on business activity beyond individual invoices.

The strongest reason to choose it is its support for Czech and Slovak VAT, including checks for required invoice details. That regional focus gives it a clear role for businesses working in those tax environments. Online payments and a client portal are supported, though the plan details below show that some of its most useful automation sits above the entry tiers.

Key features

Invoices and payment follow-up

Users can create invoices with saved customer details, templates and QR payment codes. Fakturoid can also match bank payments to invoices and send reminders automatically. Those follow-up tools begin with Na každý den, so users on the free or Na lehko plans must choose a higher tier to reduce manual reconciliation and chasing.

Expenses, tax and integrations

Expense records, income and profit statistics, and tax estimates make Fakturoid more useful than an invoice-only tool for tracking day-to-day business finances. The integration catalog connects it with ecommerce, CRM, project-management, payment-gateway, accounting and banking services. Invoice exports include PDF, Excel, XML and CSV, as well as formats for Pohoda, Money S3, ABRA Flexi, Ježek DUEL, EKONOM, Harmonik and Premier.

API and data protection

API v3 documentation and official PHP and Ruby libraries give developers a route to connect Fakturoid with their own systems; the free plan includes 1,500 API requests per month. Fakturoid says it uses HTTPS, bcrypt password storage and daily data backups, with database backups more frequent and copies stored in a separate geographic location. Optional two-factor authentication is available.

Pricing

Fakturoid offers a free plan and a 30-day trial. The monthly paid tiers are priced in USD, while the extra-user charge for Na lehko is stated in Kč.

Zdarma is unusually open on invoice volume, but its five-customer cap and single-user allowance keep it suited to a narrow operation. Na lehko removes the customer limit and allows an accountant, though it does not include the payment matching and reminders assigned to Na každý den. The top tier adds recurring invoices and expenses, VAT returns, deals, quotes and inventory, so its higher price is easiest to justify when those capabilities are part of the work rather than occasional needs.

Platforms

Fakturoid runs on the web and has iPhone and Android apps. It can also be used in a modern browser on computers, tablets and phones, and offers an API for software integrations. The pricing page says most emails receive a reply within one hour and offers chat support.

Who it's for

Fakturoid is a strong match for self-employed people and small businesses working with Czech or Slovak VAT, particularly when they want invoices, expenses and tax estimates connected in one service. Developers and businesses connecting other tools may also value the API, integrations and accounting exports.

It is less suited to someone who needs more than five customers but wants to stay on a free plan, or to a business that only needs basic invoicing and has no use for its regional tax support or business-tracking features. Teams should also account for the stated user allowances: paid tiers include one user plus an accountant, and Na lehko charges 91 Kč/month for each additional user.

Pros and cons

• Pros: Czech and Slovak VAT support and invoice-detail checks make it regionally relevant for businesses operating in those markets.
• Pros: Payment matching and automatic reminders can reduce manual follow-up on Na každý den and Na maximum.
• Pros: The free plan allows unlimited invoices and includes API access, useful for a small operation with no more than five customers.
• Pros: Expense tracking, tax estimates, accounting exports and a broad integration catalog extend it beyond invoice creation.
• Cons: The free plan’s five-customer and one-user limits restrict it as a business grows.
• Cons: Payment matching and automatic reminders are not in the two lowest tiers, so users must pay more for those workflow savings.
• Cons: Recurring invoices and VAT returns are confined to Na maximum, making the top tier necessary for those capabilities.

Verdict

Choose Fakturoid if your business works with Czech or Slovak VAT and you want invoicing connected to payment follow-up, expenses and tax-related tracking.
