Why look for an alternative to Indy?

Indy is a reference for automated accounting for independent workers in France, with a very complete free plan. But depending on your legal status and your needs, other solutions may fit better:

  • The price climbs with your legal status. Indy's Autonomie plan goes from €19/month excl. VAT for a micro-entreprise (monthly billing) to €59/month excl. VAT for a company or an EI taxed at IS (corporate tax). For simple, cheaper use, Superindep remains very competitive.
  • You stay in charge of your accounting. Indy automates, but you are the one driving. If you prefer to delegate to a real expert-comptable (chartered accountant), Dougs handles everything for you.
  • Mainly built for accounting. If you also want a business account and invoicing in a single tool, Tiime combines account, invoicing and pre-accounting.
  • Geared towards independent workers and property (BNC, SCI/LMNP). For a small business growing with an expert-comptable, Pennylane is better suited.

For an independent worker in France who wants to automate accounting without paying an accountant, Indy remains an excellent choice. But if one of these points concerns you, one of these alternatives will be more relevant.

Frequently asked questions about Indy

Indy already offers a free plan (Essentiel). Among alternatives without a subscription, Superindep, Tiime and Pennylane also offer a free plan. The right choice depends on your legal status: Superindep for simplicity under BNC, Tiime if you also want a business account, Pennylane if you work with an expert-comptable.

Yes, and it is even the norm in this category: Superindep, Tiime, Freebe and Pennylane are all French accounting and invoicing tools, built for French taxation (filings, URSSAF, VAT).

Both automate accounting for independent workers and offer a free plan. Indy is more complete (SCI/LMNP, companies, support) and its price climbs with your legal status. Superindep bets on simplicity and a low price, especially for independent workers under BNC. Choose Superindep for the price-to-simplicity ratio, Indy if you need more features.

Software like Indy (or Superindep, Tiime) automates your accounting but leaves you in charge: it is cheaper and enough for many independent workers. An online expert-comptable like Dougs or Keobiz costs more (often from €49/month excl. VAT) but takes care of everything. The choice depends on how complex your accounting is and how much time you want to spend on it.
