If you run a business in Europe, you’re about to face a serious shift in how invoicing works. Governments are tightening regulations fast:
France is going full e-invoicing by 2027
Belgium will require it by 2026
Germany’s rollout is already underway, stretching to 2028
In this new landscape, tools like Invograb and GetMyInvoices are stepping in to help. But which one actually makes things easier, and which one gets you future-ready?
Here’s how they compare.

Centralisation and Visibility
GetMyInvoices started with a clear focus: centralise incoming invoices from multiple sources. And to be fair, it does a good job of that, especially for businesses dealing with a high volume of supplier bills, utility accounts, and online subscriptions.
But what happens when you also need to manage outgoing invoices? That’s where Invograb goes further.
Invograb helps you capture, validate, and store both sides of the invoice equation—what’s coming in and what’s going out. This gives you complete visibility over cash flow, deadlines, and compliance, all in one dashboard.
No folders. No searching inboxes. No second-guessing VAT numbers.
Compliance: Built-In vs. Bolted On
This is where Invograb clearly pulls ahead.
Instead of treating compliance as a checklist or plugin, Invograb was built around it. As France and Belgium roll out strict e-invoicing mandates, tools that validate invoices in real time will become essential.
Invograb checks every invoice against the correct structure—Factur-X, Peppol BIS, UBL—and warns you if something’s missing. No guesswork. No manual tagging. Just clean, audit-ready data.
GetMyInvoices offers decent tagging tools, but lacks automated checks. In regulated environments, that gap can mean missed deductions, tax penalties, or worse.
Automation Meets Local Context
Both platforms offer integrations. But Invograb focuses on depth over breadth.
Instead of plugging into dozens of accounting tools, it goes deep on the ones French and Belgian SMBs actually use. Pennylane, FreshBooks, Zapier, you get real automation, not just exports.
Invograb’s browser plugin also fills a big gap. Need to pull an invoice from a telecom portal or outdated ERP? No API? No problem. The plugin logs in, scrapes the page, and captures the document, without storing your credentials in the cloud.
Transparency, Security, and Control
If you’re serious about GDPR – and every EU business should be – Invograb’s roadmap offers peace of mind.
Future releases will include open-source, on-premise tools that give you control over where your data lives. That’s something GetMyInvoices can’t currently match.
And with Invograb, your login credentials stay on your device. No sketchy password vaults. No centralised risk. Just security designed for real-world businesses.
Mobile, but Smarter
Both platforms offer mobile apps. But while GetMyInvoices treats mobile as an inbox sync, Invograb takes it a step further. Snap a photo of a paper invoice and the app runs OCR in real time—complete with auto-tagging and compliance checks.
It’s designed for the on-the-go entrepreneur, not just the back-office admin.
Pricing and Value
Invograb’s pricing is clear and consistent. €29/month for the SMB plan covers everything from plugins to compliance alerts.
GetMyInvoices starts lower, around €19/month—but costs can rise quickly if you add more users, integrations, or invoice volume.
If you need both sides of the invoice story, Invograb may actually be the more affordable long-term choice.
So, Which One Should You Use?
Choose GetMyInvoices if:
You mostly collect supplier invoices
You need broad language support (e.g. Dutch, Spanish)
You’re already using one of their integrated accounting tools
Choose Invograb if:
You want a full picture of incoming and outgoing invoices
You care about real-time compliance validation
You operate in France, Belgium, or Germany
You’re preparing for e-invoicing mandates in 2025–2027
Final Verdict
GetMyInvoices was one of the first tools to simplify invoice collection across Europe. And for many freelancers or microbusinesses, it still does the job.
But the compliance landscape is changing fast. Manual tagging and basic exports won’t cut it for long.
Invograb is purpose-built for this next phase. It offers:
True invoice centralisation
Real-time regulatory checks
Secure, local-first integrations
Transparent pricing
Future-proof tooling
It’s not just an invoicing tool. It’s a compliance engine with a clean interface.
If you want to stay ahead of France’s Factur-X deadlines, or just want one less thing to worry about come audit season, Invograb is worth a look.
