If you’re doing business in Europe, especially in France, Belgium, or Germany, chances are you’re already hearing about e-invoicing mandates. Starting in 2025 and continuing through 2027, new rules will require companies to issue, receive, and archive electronic invoices in specific formats like Factur-X and Peppol.

The question is: are today’s popular invoice tools actually ready?

Let’s compare Invograb to a range of alternatives—including GetMyInvoices, A2X, Synder, Webgility, Taxomate, and Link My Books—and break down why Invograb may be the safer, smarter choice.

Feature Comparison

Centralising the Whole Invoice Picture

Most invoicing tools pick a side: incoming or outgoing. Invograb brings both under one roof.

Platforms like A2X and Webgility were designed for exporting sales data from e-commerce platforms. Tools like GetMyInvoices help you collect supplier bills. But few offer both. That matters more than ever as audit trails require visibility across both flows.

With Invograb, you can:

• Forward an invoice from your inbox

• Snap a photo of a paper receipt

• Automatically import from Stripe or Shopify

• Search by supplier, amount, or date

No spreadsheets. No chaos. Just clarity.

Compliance Isn’t Optional Anymore

Most tools treat EU invoicing rules as an afterthought. Invograb was built around them.

Whether you’re preparing for Factur-X mandates in France or Peppol adoption in Belgium, real-time validation means no more errors, rejected invoices, or missed deadlines. Invograb flags issues instantly—missing VAT numbers, incorrect XML, unstructured fields—before you send anything.

Other platforms? They rely on manual checks. That’s risky. Especially when penalties for non-compliance are expected to increase in the coming years.

Built for the EU, Not Just Translated

Invograb doesn’t just support French language, it’s built with the French business ecosystem in mind.

Integrations with tools like Pennylane, OCR tailored to French invoices, and formats like Factur-X aren’t just included – they’re core to the product.

Compare that to A2X or Synder. Those platforms were made for the US and UK markets. They’ve tacked on VAT fields for EU customers, but they’re not built to enforce compliance.

Smarter Mobile Features

Snap. Tag. Store.

Invograb’s mobile app is a full OCR engine in your pocket. Take a photo of an invoice and it gets processed immediately. Tags get added automatically. Compliance checks run in the background.

Other tools might sync to your inbox, but Invograb lets you run your invoice process from your phone, start to finish.

Transparency + Privacy by Design

If you’re tired of handing over your credentials to cloud bots, Invograb has your back.

Its browser plugin stores your login data locally, not in a central server. It logs into portals like Amazon or Orange on your behalf – but securely.

And for companies with strict data policies? Invograb is working on open-source, on-premise versions of its core tools. That’s rare in SaaS, and valuable for GDPR-sensitive industries.

The Case for Fully Digitised Services

Digitisation isn’t just about replacing paper, it’s about rethinking the entire workflow. A fully digitised invoicing system connects your emails, apps, bank accounts, tax forms, and audit logs into one ecosystem. That means no more silos, fewer human errors, and better financial visibility.

Invograb helps teams eliminate friction between accounting, finance, and operations. With invoices flowing automatically from Google Ads or Shopify into one searchable hub (already tagged, validated, and ready for export!) you’re not just saving time. You’re making your business faster, safer, and more scalable.

For SMBs navigating Europe’s complex rules, this kind of end-to-end visibility isn’t a luxury, it’s a competitive edge.

Clear Pricing, No Surprises

Invograb is priced for small teams. €29/month gets you the core features, integrations, and compliance tools.

Compare that to GetMyInvoices, where the price starts lower but scales fast with volume. Or US tools like Synder, where a single user can pay over $250/month.

Final Verdict

Invograb isn’t trying to be all things to all people. It’s laser-focused on what modern EU businesses need:

• End-to-end invoice visibility

• Real-time compliance enforcement

• Localised tools and integrations

• Strong privacy and control features

If you’re a freelancer sending three invoices a month? Maybe stick with a simpler app.

But if you’re:

• Growing your team

• Preparing for audit season

• Operating in France, Belgium, or Germany

• Dealing with dozens of invoices from both suppliers and platforms

Invograb gives you confidence and control in one platform.
