The short answer: For freelancers who just want to write invoices, EasyErechnung is the lean and free alternative to Lexoffice — without accounting overhead and without a monthly fee.
lexoffice offers comprehensive functions for accounting and payroll. However, if you just want to write invoices and send them in accordance with the law according to the new e-invoice guidelines (EN 16931), you pay for many unused features with lexoffice. EasyErechnung focuses entirely on fast, error-free invoice creation in modern PDF/XML format.
