BuchhaltungsButler vs sevDesk

BuchhaltungsButler

EÜR and Bilanz modes, cost centres with project accounting, Anlagenverwaltung and BWA, SuSa and Kontenblätter show a real ledger underneath. But SKR42 and SKR49 are named only for associations, and I found no public information on SKR03/SKR04, manual journals, opening balances or a period close with locking.

sevDesk

"Für einfache und doppelte Buchführung" with cashbook, trial balance, depreciation and EÜR/GuV is more than an EÜR list, but nowhere on the captured pages do SKR03/SKR04, a journal, manual postings, opening balances or a period close appear — the double-entry claim is a marketing line, and the ledger machinery behind it is unevidenced.

The whole GoBD case is one sentence on the imprint — "Wir arbeiten Datenschutz- und GoBD-konform" — and behind it I found no public information on a Verfahrensdokumentation, an audit trail, immutability of postings or the statutory retention period. A printed claim with nothing shown behind it earns the assertion and nothing more.

sevDesk

Total silence: no GoBD claim, no retention period, no Verfahrensdokumentation, no audit-trail description on the homepage, pricing page or privacy policy as captured — at least the empty "GoBD-konform" badge would have been a claim to interrogate; here there is nothing to test, which the anchors score at the bottom.

UStVA goes out electronically via ELSTER from inside the software, the Smart tier adds the Zusammenfassende Meldung plus EÜR and Bilanz outputs, and VAT cases run "Standard bis exotisch". I found no public information on OSS, small-business (§19) treatment, Dauerfristverlängerung, E-Bilanz or named reverse-charge handling.

sevDesk

UStVA submitted to ELSTER without an extra certificate, EÜR and GuV produced, EN 16931-validated e-invoices — two-thirds of rubric level 5 — but reverse-charge and intra-community handling, OSS, ZM and §19 are all unmentioned; "international invoices" is an invoicing feature, not VAT logic.

Over 5,000 banks and services connect, KI-gestützte Belegerkennung reads the receipts, rules with auto- and batch-processing match documents to payments with learning pre-posting, and e-invoices are sent and received. I found no public information on replacement scanning (ersetzendes Scannen) or documented compliant archiving of the digital original, which is what the top of this criterion turns on.

sevDesk

Feeds for 4,000+ banks, app-based receipt scanning with AI category recommendation, and ZUGFeRD/XRechnung created, sent and received both directions — solidly past rubric level 5 — but no rule-based matching with learning, no documented ersetzendes Scannen, and no claim that every posting reaches its receipt in one click.

Every plan from Light up includes "Gratis Steuerberater-Zugang & Export" plus communication with the Steuerberatung, so adviser access is at least explicit and free. But the export carries no named format, and I found no public information on a DATEV export, the tier where it begins, or receipt linking in the handoff — the one thing I read every pricing page for.

sevDesk

A DATEV/ADDISON interface included in the paid Rechnung plan plus inviting the Steuerberater "zur Mitarbeit" into the account is exactly rubric level 5 — but nothing on receipt images in the export, on scoped or audited adviser access, or on corrections flowing back; the tier where DATEV begins is at least answerable from the evidence.

The vendor states data is stored "ausschließlich in deutschen Hochsicherheits-Rechenzentren", the contracting entity is a German GmbH under Amtsgericht Charlottenburg HRB 271745 within the Visma Group, and GDPR is claimed. I found no public information on a subprocessor list, named infrastructure, published certification, or an export that keeps the books compliant for the retention period after leaving the vendor.

sevDesk

The imprint settles what the pipeline flagged unknown: sevDesk GmbH at Amtsgericht Freiburg, and the privacy policy names Serverstandort Deutschland with AVV, TOM and a DPO contact — an EU entity on German hosting. But the "Subunternehmer" heading reveals no captured list, the AI chain (KI-Belegerfassung, the Sevi agent) runs somewhere unstated, and there is not one word on whether statutory retention survives leaving the vendor.

All three tiers are priced (Light 29,90 €, Smart 34,90 €, Premium 59,90 € mtl.), monthly billing and VAT treatment are stated, a fair-use limit of 500 Belege per month applies to all plans, adviser access is explicitly free, and add-ons from Assistierte Buchhaltung ("zzgl. 29,90 € mtl." in Smart) to onboarding at "99,90 € einmalig" carry prices. What I cannot compute from the pages: extra bank accounts, the Branchenpaket E-Commerce, overage beyond fair use, and the Smart tier's seat count — and the captured pages give different figures for Light's standing price (29,90 € standard, "statt 39,90 €").

sevDesk

Billing periods (1/12/24 months), the 3-invoice free limit, unlimited invoices in paid plans, one user per plan and the DATEV tier are all public — better than most — but every euro amount hides behind "ab*" valid only for 24-month terms, and extra users, extra bank accounts, adviser seats and VAT treatment carry no price anywhere on the captured pages.
