Invoicing software you buy once
Folnaro comes as a one-time purchase and as a subscription. Both unlock exactly the same features, including e-invoicing, time tracking, VAT return figures, EÜR and DATEV. And your data stays readable, even without a subscription.
Two ways, the same app
No tiers, no add-ons. You only choose how to pay. Try it free for 30 days first, no payment details needed.

- Agents keep read access through MCP
Why a one-time purchase suits bookkeeping
-
Books stay around
You keep receipts for 8 years and books for 10. An app that never locks you out of your own invoices fits that span.
-
A cost you plan once
Especially with little revenue, a single expense is easier to carry than one that comes back every month.
-
Everything included
E-invoicing, time tracking, receipts, bank reconciliation, VAT figures, EÜR, DATEV and agents through MCP. There is no pricier tier that unlocks more.
-
Share it with your family
Both the one-time purchase and the subscription work with Apple Family Sharing.

A fair comparison
- The other apps' prices are list prices without promotions, as the vendors show them on the date above. The vendor's own page always decides.
- Most other prices are net, Folnaro's are gross. If you deduct input tax, net prices are what counts for you. Under the small business rule you pay the gross price.
- Browser apps on a subscription run on any computer and some offer more, such as access for several people. Folnaro is a Mac app for freelancers.
- We compare only how the apps are sold, not how good they are.
Frequently asked questions
Can I get Folnaro without a subscription?
Yes. With the one-time purchase for €199.99 you keep using Folnaro with no running costs. The subscription is €7.99 a month or €79.99 a year. Both unlock the same features.
Does the one-time purchase include every feature?
Yes. There are no tiers and no add-ons. The one-time purchase and the subscription unlock exactly the same.
What happens after the trial?
The trial runs 30 days from your first download. After that you can still view, search, export and back up everything. Only creating and finalizing new documents, expenses and time entries needs a purchase or a subscription.
What happens if I cancel the subscription?
