Billy vs. easybill: client invoices or e-commerce receipts?

easybill's strength is e-commerce: automatic invoices from Amazon, eBay and shop orders. Billy is built for the other half of self-employment — service providers, freelancers and agencies who write individual client invoices and want to get paid.

If you bill hundreds of marketplace orders a month, look at easybill. If you invoice clients per project, Billy does exactly that from an AI prompt — and chases payment automatically.

Why service businesses pick Billy over easybill

easybill's automation is about order imports. Billy's automation is about you: the AI assistant creates documents on request and keeps your dunning running.

  • Invoice, quote or reminder created in one sentence — no form-filling
  • Automatic payment reminders and formal Mahnungen from the AI assistant
  • Professionally designed templates with live preview
  • Compliant for Germany and Austria (§14 UStG / §11 öUStG, §19, §13b)
  • Recurring invoices for retainers set up in one sentence

When easybill is the better choice

To be fair: for multichannel sellers with lots of marketplace orders, easybill's import automation is strong, and the free plan (50 documents/month) is a fair entry point. Billy has no marketplace import — but is much faster at individual invoicing and dunning.
