Best for freelancers running an Estonian e-Residency company
Xolo is a service as much as software: Xolo Go lets you invoice without a company for a 5.9% fee, and Leap runs an Estonian e-Residency company with accountants from €59 a month. It's built around Estonia, and the fees and extras add up.
Who Xolo is for
- Fits if you freelance abroad and want an Estonian company run for you
- Works for sellers who want invoices without registering a company
Who Xolo is not for
- Pricey if you invoice a lot through Go, since 5.9% of everything adds up
- Skip it if you're not using Estonia, as Leap is built around its tax reporting
- Watch out: Leap starts at €59 a month excluding VAT and rises to €259 and up
- Watch out: early annual reports and late documents cost €200 each
- Not for you if you sell to consumers, because Go is for B2B services only
Why Xolo 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 moneyLeap starts at €59 a month excluding VAT, but that includes accountants doing your filings, so it's set against services rather than apps. Go costs 5.9% of what you invoice.
- CFree plan and trialGo has no monthly fee, but takes 5.9% of everything you invoice. No trial for Leap.
- CFeaturesInvoicing, company set-up, accounting and tax reporting. Leap is tied to Estonian companies and Go serves B2B services only.
- CEase of useNo rating on record. The accountants do much of the work, but you still set up the company and links.
- BPlatforms and integrationsWeb only, with links to LHV, Wise, Revolut, Payoneer, Stripe, PayPal, Shopify and Amazon.

Keep Xolo, or make your own?
Keep it
To replace Xolo 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.
It costs $790.98 a year.
What you could make
- Invoicing and expense tracking: 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.
- It plugs into other products, LHV, Wise and Revolut among them.
What this rests on. Xolo’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.
