Puwapi or Pennylane, two tools that do different jobs
Pennylane is first and foremost an accounting and finance tool, shared with your accountant, with a business account and cards. Puwapi is a small team’s workspace: clients, invoicing, projects, mail and files.
Prices taken on 20 October 2026 from both vendors’ public price lists.
Choose Pennylane if your priority is accounting, banking and working with your accounting firm. Choose Puwapi if your priority is managing your clients, your projects and your team, mail and files included, for €79 excl. VAT a month for up to ten people. Many businesses need both.
Puwapi will suit you if
- Your books are kept by an accounting firm, which receives a FEC export
- You want a CRM, projects and client support in the same tool
- You want mail on your domain, and your team’s files and chat
- You are up to ten people and want a price that does not depend on the number of users
Pennylane will suit you better if
- You want to keep full accounts, up to the annual financial statements
- Your accountant already works in Pennylane
- You want a business account, cards and bank reconciliation
- You handle expense reports and a cash flow forecast
What each tool costs
Pennylane sells plans for one or two management users, with no commitment. Beyond two managers, its price list does not publish prices. Puwapi is billed per company, up to ten people on Business.
Pennylane’s free plan is reserved for micro-businesses, and its €7 plan requires opening its business account. Its two-user plans go up to 2,400 invoices a year.

What people ask us when they use Pennylane
Does Puwapi replace accounting software like Pennylane?
No. Puwapi has no general ledger, no bank reconciliation and no year-end closing. It prepares the quarterly VAT and the FEC export for your accountant. If you keep your own books, or if your accounting firm works in Pennylane, keep it.
Can I use Puwapi and Pennylane together?
Yes, for separate purposes: Pennylane for accounting and banking, Puwapi for clients, projects, and your team’s mail and files. Puwapi has no accounting connector, so nothing moves from one to the other on its own. Choose a single tool to issue your invoices, or you will be tracking them in two places.
Are the invoices already issued carried over?
No. An issued invoice cannot be re-imported: its numbering belongs to the tool that produced it. You keep your history in Pennylane, and Puwapi starts a new sequence.
