To Bill, a bexio alternative
bexio is one of the most established names in Swiss business management. To Bill plays a different tune: a deliberately focused Swiss invoicing tool with a single plan at CHF 30 per month or CHF 300 per year, everything unlimited. This page helps you work out which of the two fits your situation — without exaggeration and without invented figures.
7-day free trial, no credit card.
Two tools, two scopes
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.
bexio in short
bexio is a Swiss online business management solution, developed in Switzerland. It positions itself as an all-in-one tool for SMEs, start-ups and self-employed professionals, with a range of packages and an ecosystem of add-ons and integrations. Its feature scope and price list change regularly, so we do not reproduce them here — please check the official source.

Why some users switch to To Bill
The reasons we hear most often during trials. None of them is about the quality of bexio, which is a good product: they are about the fit between the tool and the need.
A predictable price
One plan, one line on your statement: CHF 30 per month or CHF 300 per year. No maths per module, per user or per document volume. You know what the tool will cost you next year.
A deliberately simple scope
Many freelancers and small teams use a fraction of a full suite. If what you actually need is to issue quotes and invoices, chase payments and track what has landed, a dedicated tool can be learned in an afternoon.
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. Nothing to configure, nothing to install.
Support in French and German
You write in your own language and someone who understands the Swiss context answers. The interface, the document templates and the support conversations all exist in French, German and English.
When bexio remains the right choice
To Bill is not an accounting package and does not run payroll. If you want to keep your general ledger, process salaries or manage stock inside the same tool, a broader suite such as bexio answers that need better than To Bill does. We would rather tell you before the trial than after.
Migrating your data from bexio
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 makes your accountant's job easier.
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
Is To Bill really an alternative to bexio?
For invoicing, yes: quotes, invoices, Swiss QR-bill, credit notes, recurring invoices, reminders, payments, expenses and clients. For general accounting and payroll, no: To Bill does not cover those areas. If your use of bexio is limited to issuing and tracking invoices, To Bill does the same job with a faster learning curve. If you keep your books in the same tool, the comparison does not favour To Bill.
How much does To Bill cost compared with bexio?
To Bill costs CHF 30 per month or CHF 300 per year, everything unlimited, users included — that is the only price, with no paid add-on modules. We do not publish bexio's prices on this page: they depend on the chosen package and options, and they change. Check bexio's official pricing page to compare against current figures.
Can I get my data back if I leave bexio?
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.
Is the Swiss QR-bill included in To Bill?
Yes, at no extra cost. To Bill generates the payment section with the Swiss QR code from your IBAN or QR-IBAN, with or without a structured reference. You can test the output during the 7-day free trial and send it to your bank before committing to anything.
