Our verdict
iGEST suits small businesses in Portugal that want SAF-T and e-invoicing handled inside the accounting software. Access comes through a free trial of 30 days rather than a free plan, and its cost score sits at 7.4, the same mark as the overall score.

Pros and cons
Pros
- Local compliance covers saf t and e invoicing, so Portuguese filing and invoicing sit inside the product rather than needing outside tools.
- A free trial of 30 days ranks 9 of 166 brands ranked on trial length across the site.
- Support runs on email, phone and help centre, so email, phone and a help centre are all available to small teams.
- Available on web, android and ios, so the same set of books works in a browser and on mobile devices.
Cons
- No free plan, so paying starts as soon as the 30 day free trial ends, with no cut down free version after it.
- Accountable and Billy both have a free plan, so readers who want to keep books open at no cost should look there instead.
Who it suits
- Small businesses in Portugal that file with SAF-T and send e-invoicing, matching saf t and e invoicing.
- Firms that want to try the product on a 30 day free trial before paying for a plan.
- Teams that want phone help, since support runs on email, phone and help centre.
Who should look elsewhere
- Readers who want a permanent free tier: Accountable and Billy both have a free plan, while iGEST does not.
- Anyone weighing Qonto for SAF-T: Qonto lists e invoicing while iGEST lists saf t and e invoicing.
Intro and renewal prices
iGEST has no free plan, so the free trial is the only way in at no cost. The trial runs 30 days, which is the whole of the no cost entry, and it ends in a paid subscription rather than a cut down free version. That trial window is the number to hold on to at renewal time.
The company behind it
iGEST is operated by ACIN - iCloud Solutions Lda, and the company sits in Portugal. Support reaches customers on email, phone and help centre, so questions can go by email, by phone or through the help centre. A named legal entity and a listed home country make it easier to see who stands behind the product before a subscription starts.

Frequently asked questions
Does iGEST have a free plan?+
No. iGEST has no free plan. Access runs on a free trial of 30 days, and the subscription starts once that period ends, so there is no permanent free tier to fall back on. Accountable and Billy both list a free plan, which is the clearest entry difference between the three.
How long is the iGEST free trial?+
The free trial lasts 30 days. On this site that ranks 9 out of 166 brands ranked on trial length, which places it towards the longer end. The trial is the whole entry offer, so it is the period to plan around before choosing a paid plan.
Who is iGEST built for?+
iGEST targets small business, and the company sits in Portugal, so the product is aimed at a single country rather than sold as a general global platform. Small firms set up in Portugal are the clearest fit. Readers elsewhere should weigh that local focus against their own filing rules.
Does iGEST cover Portuguese tax filing rules?+
iGEST lists saf t and e invoicing as its local compliance, covering SAF-T and e-invoicing for Portuguese businesses. For comparison, Qonto lists e invoicing, so the two overlap on electronic invoicing but not on SAF-T. Anyone filing SAF-T in Portugal has more to work with on iGEST.
Which devices can I use iGEST on?+
iGEST runs on web, android and ios, so the same account works in a browser and on Android and iOS devices. A small firm that moves between a desk, a shop floor and a phone can keep one set of books rather than separate tools for each device.
How do I reach iGEST support?+
Support runs on email, phone and help centre. That means email, phone and a help centre, covering both a quick question and a call when a filing deadline is close. Live chat is not among the listed channels, so a reader who expects round the clock chat may look elsewhere.
Who runs iGEST and where is it based?+
The service is operated by ACIN - iCloud Solutions Lda, with its headquarters in Portugal. A named company and a Portuguese base matter for a product that handles local filing, because the entity on the invoice is the one accountable for the data. Buyers who need a supplier outside Portugal should check this early.
Is there an alternative with a free plan?+
Worth weighing against Accountable and Billy, both of which have a free plan. iGEST offers a 30 day free trial instead, so cost starts sooner. A reader who plans to keep a set of books open at no cost for a long stretch gets more from a free plan alternative.
