Best for free Danish invoicing and bookkeeping
Billy is Danish invoicing and bookkeeping software with a free plan of 3 invoices and 10 receipts a month. Paid plans run from 160 to 595 kr. a month, annual accounts cost extra, and the site says Billy is now part of Shine, so its pricing may move. It's built for Danish rules.
Who Billy is for
- Fits if you're a Danish sole trader sending a few invoices a month
- Works for small Danish companies that want accountant access built in
Who Billy is not for
- Tight if you send more than 3 invoices or file more than 10 receipts a month, which is where Free stops
- Pricey if you want annual accounts: they cost extra, from 2,495 kr., and the accountant package from 4,495 kr.
- Not for you if you're outside Denmark, as it's Danish kroner and Danish rules
- Watch out: Complete has a 12-month commitment, and the site says Billy is now part of Shine
Why Billy gets a 2.2
Five grades, each with its reason. The GPA is their average: an A is 4 points, an F is none.
- CValue for money160 kr. a month for Basic and 295 kr. for Plus, both excluding VAT. That's around the middle of what this category charges.
- CFree plan and trialA free plan of 3 invoices and 10 receipts a month, after a 30-day trial. Three invoices a month is a cap you'll hit once you have a few clients.
- CFeaturesInvoices, receipts, VAT filing, payroll and accountant access. Annual accounts cost extra, from 2,495 kr., so the whole job isn't in the plan price.
- CEase of useNo store rating on record, and the pricing page is in Danish. There's an account and receipts to set up before it saves you time.
- BPlatforms and integrationsWeb, iPhone and Android, with MobilePay as an integration and unlimited integrations from Plus. No desktop app.

Keep Billy, or make your own?
Keep it
To replace Billy you would be making live feeds from your bank, which take an agreement with each bank or a service that has them. That is not a weekend's work, with an AI app builder or without one.
What you could make
- Invoicing, expense tracking and quotes and estimates: an app builder makes these well.
What you could not
- Live feeds from your bank, which take an agreement with each bank or a service that has them.
- Payroll taxes worked out and filed with the government for you.
- A real app for iOS and Android. Something home-made would be a web page.
- AI features, unless you pay a model provider for each request yourself.
What this rests on. Billy’s listing: what it does, where it runs, what it plugs into and what it costs. It is a judgement about the kind of software this is. We have not built a replacement for it, and making your own means looking after it too. How we decide, and every tool’s verdict.
