Different jobs, not better or worse
bexio is built to run a whole Swiss business: bookkeeping, banking reconciliation, VAT statements, payroll modules, and a link to fiduciaries. If you need that, it's a solid choice.
Clienta doesn't try to be your accounting system. It's for the part before that: capturing the work you do, tracking the time, and turning it into an invoice with a QR-bill — without retyping anything.
When Clienta is the simpler fit
If your bookkeeping is a spreadsheet and a fiduciary at year-end, a full accounting suite is more than you need day to day. You mostly need to bill your work cleanly and get paid.
Clienta keeps tasks, time, and invoicing in one place and hands clean records to whoever does your books. You can still export what your accountant needs.
FAQ
Can I use Clienta alongside bexio or a fiduciary?
Yes. Many freelancers invoice in a lightweight tool and hand the records to a fiduciary or accounting system at year-end. Clienta focuses on tracking work and invoicing; it doesn't replace double-entry bookkeeping.
