Fortnox is a Swedish bookkeeping and invoicing platform that links to Swedish banks and the tax agency, with payroll in the dearer packages. But everyone pays a base fee on top, invoices cost extra, and a three-month term adds 15%. Outside Sweden it isn't built for you. - **Value for money: C.** 209 kr a month for the Mini package on a 12-month term, roughly the category's middle. The Access base fee, per-invoice fees and the 15% extra on a 3-month term all come on top. - **Free plan and trial: D.** No free plan and no trial. New companies get the first half year free, but everyone else pays from day one. - **Features: B.** Bookkeeping, invoicing, company card and receipts, payroll, supplier payments and a mobile app. The listing names no gap in the core work, only extra fees. - **Ease of use: C.** No store rating on record, and you link banks and the tax agency before it works for you. - **Platforms and integrations: B.** Web plus iOS and Android apps, with connections to Swedish banks and the tax agency and unlimited integrations on Mellan+.

That is not a weekend's work, with an AI app builder or without one. - You could make: Invoicing, expense tracking and reports: an app builder makes these well. - You could not: Live feeds from your bank, which take an agreement with each bank or a service that has them. - You could not: Payroll taxes worked out and filed with the government for you. - You could not: Cards issued through a bank. - You could not: Money moved between bank accounts, which takes a licensed payments partner. - You could not: A real app for iOS and Android. Something home-made would be a web page. - You could not: The depth: we grade its features B, which means it covers the whole job.
