Comparison method and scope
This comparison is based on publicly available documentation, vendor websites, and stated product positioning at the time of writing. Capabilities described as “not publicly documented” or “not positioned as a standard capability” may still be available through enterprise agreements, custom projects, or private documentation.
Product features, certifications, and commercial terms may change over time. Buyers are encouraged to verify specific requirements directly with each vendor as part of their evaluation.
Scope
The comparison focuses on platform capabilities relevant to Peppol-based electronic business messaging, including APIs, onboarding, compliance, and operational transparency. It does not attempt to assess commercial negotiations, bespoke enterprise agreements, or customer-specific implementations.
Neutrality
All vendors included are established providers in the electronic invoicing and compliance ecosystem. The purpose of this comparison is to support informed decision-making by highlighting differences in product positioning, documentation transparency, and typical use cases.
Terminology
Where terms such as “API maturity”, “not positioned”, or “limited documentation” are used in the summary above, or in the indepth comparisons, they refer to the depth and accessibility of publicly available product or developer documentation. They do not imply the absence or quality of underlying technical capabilities.
