Selection Criteria
Directory
Refront
Invoicing built into the project management workflow. Generates invoices from tracked hours, sends via client portal with Stripe payment links, and tracks payment status automatically.
Moneybird
Popular Dutch accounting and invoicing platform. Excellent for Dutch tax compliance (BTW), bank reconciliation, and bookkeeping. Limited project management features.
FreshBooks
User-friendly invoicing and accounting for small businesses. Strong time tracking and expense management but lacks development-specific features.
Stripe Invoicing
Invoicing built into the Stripe payment platform. Ideal if you already use Stripe for payments, but limited customisation and no time tracking integration.
Frequently Asked Questions
Can I use Refront for invoicing without the PM features?
While Refront is designed as an integrated platform, you can use the invoicing module independently if you prefer a different PM tool. However, the real power is in the connected workflow.
Which invoicing platform is best for Dutch freelancers?
For pure accounting, Moneybird is the Dutch favourite. For freelancers who also need project management and time tracking, Refront offers a more integrated solution.
Do these platforms handle international invoicing?
Yes. All listed platforms support multi-currency invoicing and most handle cross-border VAT rules. Refront and Moneybird are particularly strong on EU compliance.
