An honest take:
When Banana fits, when einzly fits

Banana is the better choice if you …

want or need to keep double-entry bookkeeping
like software that feels like Excel

einzly is the better choice if you …

have no accounting knowledge and prefer it without Excel
want to handle QR invoices, VAT and year-end closing web-based

What einzly does for you

Swiss QR invoices

Create and send QR invoices in seconds — with direct sending and link tracking.

AI receipt scanner

Snap a receipt, done: einzly reads the amount, VAT and category automatically.

VAT automatically

Effective or flat rate — einzly calculates the VAT return for the FTA automatically.

Year-end closing (EAR)

EAR, categories and a complete package (receipts + invoices + EAR) — ready for your tax return or accountant.

Web-based, no download

Runs in the browser and as a homescreen app — everywhere, always up to date, nothing to install.

No accounting knowledge

No debit/credit, no chart of accounts — einzly guides you step by step. In DE, FR, IT, EN.
