Bexio alternative: Accounty in direct comparison
Bexio is a proven solution for Swiss SMEs. With the 2026 pricing round, however, the packages have become dearer and more finely split – important features such as document recognition or bank connectivity are no longer in the cheapest package. If you want a transparent all-in-one solution at a flat price, you will find in Accounty a modern alternative: all modules for CHF 29/month, cancel monthly.
Comparing more than two solutions? The article Swiss accounting software compared, 2026 places Bexio alongside nine further providers. Right next to it: Infoniqa and Sage. The basics of cloud accounting – retention duties, server location, costs – are covered in the guide Online accounting Switzerland.

What does switching cost? Three worked examples
The most honest comparison is not the list price but what you actually pay at year end – with all the features you need day to day. At Bexio the price depends heavily on which package is needed and how many extras come on top. Accounty has only one price: CHF 29 per month, all modules included. The following examples are approximations based on publicly named Bexio prices (as of 2026) and are meant to show the order of magnitude – the respective provider's current information remains authoritative.
Sole proprietorship without staff
A sole proprietorship writing QR invoices, filing VAT itself and wanting to capture documents digitally usually already needs a mid package at Bexio once automatic document recognition and bank connectivity are added. Over the year that quickly adds up to a mid three-digit amount. At Accounty you pay CHF 348 a year (12 × 29) – including document recognition via the optional AI pack, QR-bill, VAT and bank import. For many micro-businesses that is exactly the point where the switch pays off.
SME with three to five employees
Add payroll, and the difference becomes clearer. With most providers, payroll is either tied to a higher package or paid per employee – the price rises with every new hire. At Accounty the Swiss payroll without employee limit is included in the flat price: whether you produce three or thirteen payslips changes nothing about the subscription. For a growing SME that is the biggest lever – the price does not grow with the company.
Fiduciary firm with several mandates
Fiduciaries manage many mandates in parallel and with classic solutions often pay a full subscription price per mandate. Accounty offers a multi-client portal at special terms: central overview, roles and to-dos, consolidated reports and client onboarding in minutes. That keeps the calculation predictable, even when a mandate joins or drops away.
The amounts named are rounded examples for illustration, not binding offers. The actual price depends on the chosen feature scope. Information on third parties is based on publicly available information (as of 2026).
All modules at a glance – this is what is in the flat price
“All modules included” is no marketing phrase at Accounty but the core of the product. What other providers split into basic, plus and premium packages belongs to the standard here from the start. An overview of what you get for CHF 29/month:
Financial accounting to Swiss standard
Double-entry bookkeeping with the Swiss chart of accounts, balance sheet and income statement with prior-year comparison, cost centres and a continuous general ledger. The year-end closing is guided by an assistant, including annual accounts per CO 959c.
Receivables with QR-bill
Create, send and automatically monitor invoices with the Swiss QR code. Dunning runs automatically on request, open items reconcile themselves on bank import.
Payables and payments
Record supplier invoices, consider cash discounts and export payments as pain.001 files for e-banking. The scheduler creates recurring invoices automatically.
Swiss payroll
Payslips without employee limit, with AHV, ALV, UVG, KTG, withholding tax and salary certificate. The annual declarations and the booking voucher into the general ledger are created automatically.
VAT return
Effective method or net tax rate, half-yearly or quarterly periods, with drill-down to the individual entry and annual reconciliation. Export is in eCH-0217 format for the FTA.
Bank, inventory and reports
CAMT bank import with automatic matching, full inventory management with stocktake and FIFO valuation, plus key figures, liquidity preview and budget comparison round off the package. Optionally, the AI document recognition reads amount, VAT and payment details straight from the document.
This completeness is the real difference from classic package logic: you do not have to check with every new need whether a feature is in your booked package – it is.

When Bexio can be the better choice
A fair comparison also names the other side. Bexio is an established Swiss product with a large partner network and a broad ecosystem of integrations. There are situations where that can tip the scales:
- You already use a large Bexio environment – say specific industry solutions or third-party integrations tuned exactly to Bexio.
- Your fiduciary works exclusively with Bexio and switching the tool would cost the collaboration more than the price advantage is worth.
- You need a very special integrationthat today exists only for Bexio. In that case a short call to us pays off – often the same workflow can be modelled with Accounty too.
For the great majority of Swiss SMEs looking for a complete, fair and predictable solution, however, the flat price with all modules is exactly the argument that triggers the switch. Accounty is deliberately built as all-in-one: what others outsource into add-on packages is included here from the start.
The move in detail
Switching accounting software sounds like effort – in practice most of it is done in a few hours, because the key data can be taken over in structured form.
- Chart of accounts: Your existing chart of accounts is imported, including the familiar account numbers and names. If names differ, Accounty aligns them.
- Customers and suppliers: You take over master data including addresses by file – no manual retyping.
- Open items: Still-open receivable and payable invoices can be read in as opening stock so your payment matching is right from day one.
- Current year's journal: Entries already recorded can be taken over so balance sheet and income statement continue without gaps.
- Wages: Existing payroll data and the year's payslips so far can be imported so the salary certificate is complete at year end.
The best moment for the switch is the start of the year – then you start with a clean opening balance. A mid-year switch is equally possible though. If you like, we at SEBONA Treuhand accompany the move personally; on request we take on the bookkeeping as well.
