For the French reform, check whether your solution is an approved platform (Plateforme Agréée) or relies on a compatible PA. Since 1 September 2026, the businesses concerned must be able to receive electronic invoices; issuance by very small, small and medium-sized businesses is scheduled by 1 September 2027 at the latest.
A few criteria are enough to narrow the choice.
Which process do you want to simplify?
Narrow the selection to your invoicing needs and the exchanges you maintain with your accountant.
You handle invoicing yourself
Start with your business status, the documents to issue and payment tracking. A simple interface is not enough if an essential declaration is missing.
Choose as a freelancer →Your accounting firm takes over the documents
Ask your accounting firm which exports, supporting documents and access permissions it needs. A tool the firm already uses may make the handover easier without covering all your needs.
Examine Indy and Tiime →You want to match bank transactions and invoices
Distinguish a business account from bookkeeping. Check how a partial payment is handled and how to retrieve your data if you change banks.

Follow an invoice through to its accounting export
Try a complete fictional case rather than isolated features. This workflow is a method suggested to readers, not a test performed by Logicelio.
Before leaving, also check the export of customers, invoices and supporting documents: account access and document downloads are two distinct needs.

Frequently asked questions
How do you choose invoicing and accounting software?
Define the main scenario, test it with your data, then compare electronic invoicing and compliance, quotes, invoices and reminders, and banking and reconciliation.
Should you choose the cheapest tool?
Check your legal status, the declarations covered, users and accountant exports. A bank account does not replace bookkeeping.
