Why switch?

3 reasons why Banana
is no longer up to date

Accounting knowledge required

Banana requires knowledge of double-entry bookkeeping. Debit-credit, chart of accounts, journal entries — if you don't know this, you're stuck.

einzly: No accounting knowledge needed. Create invoice, book expense — done.

Desktop-only

Banana only runs on your computer. Create an invoice on the go or photograph a receipt? Not possible.

einzly: Cloud-based. Works on any device — also as a homescreen app.

No Swiss QR invoices

Banana only partially supports Swiss QR invoices. Creating correct QR invoices with payment slip is cumbersome.

einzly: Create Swiss QR invoices in 30 seconds — with correct payment slip, ready to send.
