Pennylane review

Paid entry pricing starts at €7, below the site median entry price of €13.15. A free plan is offered, so a first account costs nothing. Anyone who wants a paid tier first can use the free trial, which runs 15 days.

Yes. A free plan is offered, and a free trial is also part of the model. Bank feeds come with it and local compliance covers e-invoicing, so core invoicing does not need a paid tier. Paid entry pricing starts at €7 once you outgrow the free setup.

The free trial runs 15 days, and the median trial across the brands compared is 14 days. On trial length Pennylane sits at 78 out of 166 brands, so plan for a short evaluation rather than a long one.

Support runs on help centre only, with no phone, chat or email channel listed for the plans. That suits people happy to search on their own, and suits less well anyone who wants to call or write to a person. Neither the free plan nor the 15 day trial widens it.

The stated audience is small business, and the free plan makes the first step cheap for a micro business. Bank feeds and e-invoicing are both covered, which suits a sole trader billing clients from the start. The entry plan includes 1 user, so check seats early if more people need access.

Local compliance covers e invoicing, the most common compliance item in the set at 93.5% of brands tracked. Bank feeds feed the same workflow, and a free plan is offered, so compliant invoicing can start before any payment is made.

The listed platform is ios, so the mobile app is published in the iOS app store. Bank feeds and the free plan are part of the same package, so mobile access does not require a paid tier. E-invoicing compliance is handled inside the product as well.

Entry pricing of €7 ranks 38 of 200 brands, with the category median at €16.66. Against the alternatives, Qonto starts at €9, Accountable at €9.90 and Billy at DKK 160, so the free plan is the lowest-cost way to try Pennylane.
