To Bill, an AbaNinja alternative
AbaNinja and To Bill speak to the same person: the Swiss freelancer or small team that has to issue clean, compliant invoices and get paid on time. Both are Swiss, both run in the browser. The difference lies in scope and in the pricing model. This page gives you the facts we can establish, and points you to the official source for everything else.

Two Swiss tools, two approaches
To Bill in short
To Bill covers the invoicing cycle of a Swiss SME or freelancer: quotes, invoices with the Swiss QR-bill, credit notes, recurring invoices, automatic reminders, payment tracking, expenses, client management and a dashboard. Interface in French, German and English, multi-currency, an export made for your accountant, plus iOS and Android apps. One plan only: CHF 30/month or CHF 300/year, everything unlimited, users included.
AbaNinja in short
AbaNinja is a Swiss online invoicing solution that comes out of the Abacus group's ecosystem. It targets small businesses and self-employed professionals and sits within a set of tools that can be combined with one another. Subscription terms, usage limits and the exact contents of the offer evolve over time, so we do not reproduce them here — check with the publisher directly.

Why some users switch to To Bill
The reasons we hear most often during trials. They say nothing about the quality of AbaNinja: they say something about the fit between a tool and a need.
A predictable price, with no tiers
CHF 30 per month or CHF 300 per year, everything unlimited. You are not watching an invoice counter or a client cap, and you do not change plan because your business grew. Next year's budget is known today.
The whole product from day one
Quotes, invoices, credit notes, recurring invoices, automatic reminders, expenses, payments and the dashboard are all part of the single plan. There is no feature waiting to be unlocked later.
The QR-bill with zero setup
The Swiss QR-bill is generated natively from your IBAN or QR-IBAN, with a payment section that follows the standard, with or without a structured reference. Nothing to configure.
Support in French and German
You write in your own language and someone who understands the Swiss context answers. The interface, the documents and the support conversations all exist in French, German and English.
When staying with AbaNinja makes sense
If your current tool suits you and its cost works for you, switching invoicing software gains you nothing: it is configuration time for an equivalent result. And if you already work inside an Abacus environment, or your accountant is connected to it directly, that continuity has real value that a standalone tool like To Bill does not replace.
Migrating your data from AbaNinja
Moving your invoicing takes about half a day to prepare. Here is the method we recommend, and one our support team can walk through with you during the trial.
Pick a switch-over date
The simplest approach is to switch at the start of a quarter or a financial year. Invoices already issued stay in your old tool until they are paid; new ones go out from To Bill.
Export your clients and items
Pull the list of your clients and services out of your current tool as CSV or Excel. That is the only import you genuinely need in order to start invoicing.
Keep your numbering
To Bill lets you customise the prefix and the next invoice and quote number. You carry on your existing sequence without a break, which avoids awkward questions from your accountant at year end.
Run both tools in parallel
During the 7-day trial, issue a few real documents in To Bill before cancelling anything. You get to check the layout, the QR-bill and the accountant export at no risk.
Keep your old invoices: Swiss law requires accounting records to be retained for ten years. Export them as PDF before closing any account, whichever software you use.
FAQ
What is the difference between To Bill and AbaNinja?
Both are Swiss online invoicing tools that handle the QR-bill. The difference we can state without risk concerns To Bill's model: a single plan at CHF 30 per month or CHF 300 per year, everything unlimited, users included, with the full feature set from day one. For AbaNinja's terms, check its official website: they change over time and we do not reproduce them here.
How much does To Bill cost?
CHF 30 per month, or CHF 300 per year, which works out as two months free. That price includes everything: unlimited users, clients, invoices, quotes, expenses and payments, plus the QR-bill, recurring invoices, automatic reminders and custom numbering. There are no paid add-on modules and no setup fee.
Can I get my data back if I leave AbaNinja?
Your data belongs to you. In practice, export your clients and items as CSV or Excel, then download your past invoices as PDF before closing your account: Swiss law requires accounting records to be kept for ten years. The exact export procedure is documented by your current provider.
Will my accountant be able to work with To Bill?
Yes. To Bill produces exports intended for bookkeeping work, and your invoices and receipts remain downloadable as PDF. You can also create an account for your accountant, since users are unlimited in the single plan. If your accountant would like to discuss it, they can contact us directly.
