Simpler than accounting software. Create a correct invoice with your own logo in a few minutes: on your phone right after the job, or later on your computer. The app is in English; invoice PDFs use Dutch labels and amounts are in euros.

The clearest difference is in-app purchases: Lyv at none against Factuur Simpel's 8. Lyv also leads on iOS requirement (13.0 vs 18.0). Factuur Simpel's advantage is update cadence (every 2 days vs every 8 months). On price, ads and device support there is nothing between them.
