Comparison

Tinz vs invoicing software Moloni, InvoiceXpress, Vendus

This is the most common mix-up. Moloni, InvoiceXpress or Vendus issue the invoices you send to your customers. Tinz handles the opposite side: the invoices your suppliers send to you. They're not competitors, they're complementary.

Quick summary

Invoicing software issues your sales documents and reports to the tax authority. It's a legal requirement and you're right to have one. Tinz doesn't issue invoices or talk to the tax authority: it reads your suppliers' invoices, controls expenses and calculates the food cost of every dish. You don't choose between the two, you use both, each covering its own side of the operation.

In detail

What changes in practice.

Two sides of the operation

Who sells vs who buys

Invoicing software faces outward: the money coming in, sales, the documents for your customer and for the tax authority.

Tinz faces inward: the money going out, purchases from suppliers, kitchen costs. One tells you how much you invoiced; the other tells you how much you spent and whether any margin is left.

What each one does

Issuing vs reading and controlling

Moloni and InvoiceXpress create invoices, receipts and report the SAF-T file to the tax authority. That's the legal and fiscal side of the business.

Tinz photographs your suppliers' invoices, extracts line items and VAT, keeps food cost updated, warns you about price increases, and cross-checks everything against your bank statement. Different tasks, neither does the other's job.

Why you need both

The numbers only add up with both sides

Without invoicing you don't comply with the law or get paid properly. Without expense control you don't know if what you invoice covers what you spend.

Knowing you sold €30,000 means nothing if you don't know you spent €31,000. Invoicing software shows you the first number. Tinz shows you the second, and the margin left over.

Honest comparison

What if I only want one?

If you don't issue invoices yet, start with invoicing software: it's mandatory. But if invoicing is already sorted and you still don't really know where the money goes or what margin your dishes make, it's the expense side you're missing, and that's what Tinz solves. Most of our customers already had invoicing in place and came to Tinz for exactly that reason.

Common questions

No. Tinz does not issue invoices or report to the tax authority. For that you use your invoicing software, such as Moloni, InvoiceXpress or Vendus. Tinz handles the invoices you receive from suppliers.
