Billit

Overview

Billit is a cloud invoicing and administration platform for businesses that need Peppol delivery alongside payment tracking and document handling. It is strongest for organisations managing recurring invoice and receipt flows; the document-based pricing makes workload, not just team size, central to the buying decision.

From its base in Ghent, Belgium, Billit serves Android, iOS and web users, with an API for custom integrations. It supports tax validation and structured formats including BISv2, BISv3, BISv3AUNZ, BISv3SG, XRechnung2.2, XRechnung3, ZUGFeRD, ZUGFeRDBisV3, Factur-X, FacturXBisV3, PTCIUS, ROCIUS, MYPint, CII and SI. That range is useful where invoice exchange requires a particular format, though the appropriate format depends on the business and recipient.

Key features

Invoices and Peppol

Billit handles invoice creation and sending, payment tracking, and document sharing with an accountant. For Peppol, it converts invoices to the required format and sends them over the network. The Free License covers Peppol sales invoices only and has limited functionality, so it is a narrow entry point rather than a full administration workflow. Paid plans include all features, but their document allowances still constrain volume.

Receipt capture and payment follow-up

The app scans VAT receipts, and Billit recognizes relevant data and amounts from submitted documents. Automatic reminders for overdue invoices can reduce the need to chase each late payment manually. These tools suit businesses that handle both sales invoices and incoming receipts; users should account for both in their monthly document budget.

Connections, security and support

Billit connects with banks, accounting packages, online shops, cash register systems and business software, and offers an open API for custom integrations. Examples include Exact Online, Winbooks, Octopus, ING, KBC Touch and KBC Mobile. That breadth can help fit Billit into an existing operation, while the API gives custom integration work an option.

Billit says it is certified to ISO 27001:2022 and undergoes yearly internal and external audits. It also says data is encrypted in transit and at rest, access controls include MFA, and its production environment runs in EU data centres in the Netherlands and Ireland. Support channels include the platform help button, phone, a help centre and workshops.

Pricing

Billit uses a freemium model, with a 15-day trial and paid subscriptions based on monthly document volume. Invoices, credit notes and receipts sent or processed all count toward the allowance; usage above the subscription limit is billed extra. That makes the nominal plan price only part of the cost calculation for variable or growing workloads.

• Free License: free. It sends sales invoices via Peppol, with limited functionality. This suits a business that needs only that basic sending route, not one seeking the broader paid feature set.
• Up to 25 documents/month: €690 a month (billed Annual billing; page also lists €7,50 per month). All features are included and one user is included. This is the smallest paid allowance and fits low-volume use, but receipt and credit-note processing also consume its 25 documents.
• Up to 500 documents/month: €2,292 a month (billed Annual billing; page also lists €25,00 per month). It includes all features and one user. The larger quota suits businesses with more regular document throughput, while still requiring attention to extra usage above 500.
• Up to 1000 documents/month: €22,920 a month (billed Annual billing; page also lists €250,00 per month). It includes all features and one user. This tier is aimed at higher-volume operations, though a single included user may not suit a wider team.
• More than 1000 documents/month: custom pricing, with a customized proposal on request. This is the route for workloads beyond the published tiers.

All paid tiers include one user; businesses needing additional seats should factor that constraint into their choice. The plan figures and their accompanying monthly equivalents are presented differently, so check the payable amount and annual billing terms before committing.

Platforms

Billit is available on Android, iOS and web, and provides an API. Cloud deployment means the service is accessed as an online platform rather than described as locally installed software.

Who it's for

Billit positions its subscriptions for starters, freelancers, self-employed people, non-profits, growing businesses, medium-sized companies and larger firms. In practice, the best fit depends on monthly document volume: the free option is highly limited, while paid allowances range from 25 to 1000 documents before custom pricing. The one-user inclusion across paid tiers also makes seat needs an important consideration for companies with several operators.

Pros and cons

• Pros: Peppol delivery, receipt scanning and overdue-payment reminders bring several routine invoice tasks into one service.
• Pros: Connections across finance and business systems, plus an open API, provide options for fitting Billit to existing processes.
• Pros: Android, iOS, web and API access support different working setups, while stated security measures include encryption, MFA and EU data-centre hosting.
• Cons: The free license is limited to Peppol sales invoices, so it is not a full substitute for a paid subscription.
• Cons: All sent or processed invoices, credit notes and receipts count against the monthly quota, and excess use costs extra.
• Cons: Paid plans include just one user, which may be restrictive for teams that need several people working in the account.

Alternatives

Consider B2Brouter if a free plan with up to 10 contacts, 24 transactions a year and one user better matches a very small workload. Its listed Professional plan is €110 a year, billed annually plus taxes, for users who need more than the free tier.

BillingEngine is another freemium option; its Free plan includes three invoices, three quotes and three receipts per month for one user, while its Basic plan is €6 a month. It may suit a user whose stated free allowance is enough or who wants that low-priced entry plan.

ONESOURCE Pagero is a freemium alternative offered by Thomson Reuters, whose work spans compliance, tax and legal solutions.

Tungsten e-Invoice Connect offers a free plan with 25 invoices per month; its Basic, Plus and Premium tiers list allowances of 100, 500 and higher monthly invoices, respectively, with prices not listed. It is worth considering if invoice count is the main comparison point.

Other options include Unimaze, a paid service available on Android, iOS, web and API; Clear e-Invoicing, a paid web service whose Clear Compliance Set combines e-invoicing, e-way bills, GST filing and automated reconciliation; Comarch Accounts Payable Automation, a paid web service; and Holodeck B2B, a free option for Windows, macOS and Linux.

Verdict

Billit is a strong fit for businesses that want Peppol invoicing, receipt recognition and payment reminders connected to wider accounting and banking workflows. Its main advantage is the breadth of that workflow and its integration options; its main drawback is that monthly document quotas include receipts and credit notes, while paid plans include only one user. Choose it when those tools and Peppol support justify the allowance-based cost, and look elsewhere if your team needs more seats or predictable costs without extra-use billing.
