Budget

What you actually pay

Both tools run on a monthly subscription. The gap has less to do with the headline figure than with what sits behind it: with Accountable you mainly pay for invoicing and the tax side, with Novadesko that same ground comes with the point of sale, stock and CRM.

Novadesko advantages

What makes the difference

POS & Checkout

Honest comparison

When Accountable is the right call

A comparison where the author wins every single line helps nobody. These are the cases where we would honestly tell you to stay with them.

Your tax return worries you more than your invoices

Accountable prepares and files your personal income tax return, with experts behind it. Novadesko structures your figures and receipts, then hands them to your accountant. If you have no accountant and want none, their offer holds up.

You work alone, from your phone

A consultant, a coach or a freelance developer sending fifteen invoices a year needs no till, no stock and no extra users. Paying for those would make no sense, even bundled.

You are starting as a side business

In the early months the question is not how to equip a team, it is how to miss nothing on the VAT side. A simple app is plenty, and you can always move later when stock or a shop enter the picture.

Frequently asked questions

Novadesko and Accountable, your questions answered

Is Novadesko a good alternative to Accountable?

Accountable is designed for the self employed person who handles invoices and VAT alone from a phone. Novadesko covers that same ground and goes further as soon as you sell in a shop, manage stock, work with other people or move to a company structure.

Do both apps handle mandatory Peppol invoicing?

Yes. Since 2026 the structured electronic invoice is mandatory between Belgian VAT registered businesses, and both tools let you comply. Novadesko connects directly to the Peppol network from your dashboard.

How much does Novadesko cost?

Plans start at 19 euro excl. VAT per month, with a 14 day free trial and no bank card. The CRM, the point of sale and stock management are part of the subscription rather than paid options.

What does day to day bookkeeping and VAT look like?

Novadesko sorts your purchases and sales, prepares your VAT figures and makes the supporting documents available to your accountant. You keep your usual accountant and hand over a file that is already structured.

Does Novadesko file my tax return the way Accountable does?

No, and we would rather say it plainly. Accountable lets you file your personal income tax return from the app. Novadesko gets your figures, sales, purchases and receipts ready so your accountant closes the return in far less time.

I am a sole trader working alone, is Novadesko oversized for me?

The subscription is modular: switch on invoicing and expense tracking only and you are not paying for the till or the stock. The upside is that nothing changes tool wise the day you open a shop or hire someone.

Can I move my data over from Accountable?

Yes. You export your clients and invoices from Accountable and import them into Novadesko. Your invoice numbering can carry on where it stopped, and our team supports you during the trial.
