BuchhaltungsButler vs sevDesk

BuchhaltungsButler

EÜR and Bilanz modes, Summen- und Saldenlisten, Kontenblätter, cost centres and fixed-asset accounting evidence a real double-entry ledger, and association customers get SKR42/SKR49. We found no public information on opening balances, manual journal postings, or a period close with locking, so the closing discipline an audit requires is unevidenced.

sevDesk

Double-entry is explicitly offered ('einfache und doppelte Buchführung') with cost centres, BWA, trial balance, depreciation and a cashbook — more than an EÜR list. But the evidence names no chart of accounts, no opening balances, and no period close or locking, so the ledger underneath the screens is only partially evidenced.

BuchhaltungsButler

The captured pages assert GoBD conformity in a single sentence and nothing more. We found no public information on unalterable postings, a change history, the statutory retention period, a Verfahrensdokumentation, or an auditor data export — a compliance claim without documentation behind it will not survive a Betriebsprüfung.

sevDesk

Nothing: no GoBD claim, no Verfahrensdokumentation, no word on unalterable postings, no change history, and no retention statement anywhere in the captured pages; the AVV and TOM in the privacy policy are GDPR artifacts, not tax-audit documentation. For a Betriebsprüfung this dimension is unevidenced end to end, and silence on immutability is itself information.

BuchhaltungsButler

Umsatzsteuer-Voranmeldung submitted via ELSTER directly in the software, Zusammenfassende Meldung, and EÜR and Bilanz evaluations are documented, with VAT cases claimed from standard to exotic. We found no public information on OSS, the small-business rule, Dauerfristverlängerung or E-Bilanz, so the filing year is not shown end to end.

sevDesk

The UStVA goes electronically to ELSTER without an extra certificate and EÜR/GuV are produced, which clears electronic submission. But reverse-charge, intra-community supply, OSS, §19 and Dauerfristverlängerung are all silent — the routine filing is there, the special cases are not.

BuchhaltungsButler

Over 5,000 bank and service connections, bank, credit-card and PayPal feeds, AI receipt recognition with learning pre-posting, automatic matching of receipts to payments, and e-invoice send and receive are all documented. We found no public information on replacement scanning or compliant archiving of the digital original, which is what makes the paper destroyable.

sevDesk

Feeds across 4,000 banks, app and drag-and-drop receipt capture with AI categorisation, and ZUGFeRD/XRechnung in both directions with EN 16931 validation — solidly above the feed-and-OCR anchor. No rule-based matching with learning, no stated receipt-to-posting linkage in one click, and nothing on ersetzendes Scannen or compliant archiving of the digital original.

BuchhaltungsButler

A free Steuerberater access and export appears even in the cheapest plan, and task distribution with the Steuerberatung is described. The export format is never named — we found no public information on a DATEV export — and nothing on adviser scoping or an audit of the adviser's changes.

sevDesk

Named DATEV and ADDISON interfaces to the Steuerberatung plus an in-account collaboration invite meet the export-and-adviser-login anchor. The evidence says nothing on whether receipt images ride along in the export, on scoped access with an audit of what the adviser changed, or on corrections coming back bidirectionally.

BuchhaltungsButler

Data exclusively in German Hochsicherheits-Rechenzentren, a Berlin GmbH with a Charlottenburg register entry, and DSGVO are stated; Visma group membership is named without jurisdiction detail on the captured pages. We found no public information on a subprocessor list or on an export that satisfies statutory retention after the contract ends.

sevDesk

German contracting entity (sevDesk GmbH, Amtsgericht Freiburg, German VAT ID), a deliberate German server location and a subprocessor section exists. But the infrastructure is unnamed, the subprocessor list's completeness is unconfirmed, and there is no stated export that would satisfy statutory retention if the contract ends — with a ten-year obligation, that gap matters most.

BuchhaltungsButler

Three tiers at 29,90 €, 34,90 € and 59,90 € monthly are public with VAT treatment stated, a 500-document monthly fair-use limit, a free adviser access, and priced add-ons from onboarding to manual review. The e-commerce interfaces require a Branchenpaket whose price the captured pages do not show, and we found no public information on document overage, bank-account limits or the Smart plan's seat count, so the annual invoice is not fully computable.

sevDesk

Tier structure is public: 1/12/24-month terms, one user per plan, the free tier's 3-invoice limit, unlimited invoices in paid plans and DATEV named in the invoice plan. Adviser seat pricing, VAT treatment and marketplace partner costs ('nicht inkludiert') are unstated, and the 24-month 'ab*' comparison prices plus a 70% promo make the real annual invoice harder to compute.
