Result
Not either/or: Lexware Office is a bookkeeping system, KudTax feeds it booking-ready e-commerce data. Anyone using Lexware Office alone for marketplace revenue reconciles payouts and fees by hand or via third parties – that is precisely the step KudTax takes over in front of it.
KudTax does not necessarily replace Lexware Office: Lexware Office is also available as an integration inside KudTax. To the Lexware Office integration

Pricing compared
Net monthly prices at three typical volumes. Where a provider does not bill by orders, the derivation is given below – and the table says “not stated” instead of guessing.
| Orders / month | KudTax | Lexware Office |
|---|---|---|

| 500 | €49 | not stated |

- KudTax
- KudTax: €0 up to 25, €19 up to 100, €49 up to 500, €99 up to 1,000, €129 up to 2,000, €149 up to 3,000 orders a month; above that Enterprise on request. Every feature in every tier, plus VAT.
- Lexware Office
- Independent of order volume: S €7.90, M €12.90, L €21.90, XL €32.90 (currently 50% off for 3 months). Marketplace and payment data only come in through paid third parties (e.g. Billbee, sync4, JTL) whose prices are not on Lexware's pages – so no per-order price can be formed.
- What the price does not include
- Marketplace and payment data only via third-party extensions (e.g. Billbee, sync4, JTL) with their own price.
- Payroll add-on from €12.90/month; the 50% discount applies for three months only.
What Lexware Office does well
Complete bookkeeping including P&L, assets, payroll and multibanking – a target system KudTax exports into.
E-invoicing (XRechnung/ZUGFeRD) per EN 16931 in every plan.
Very low base price and over 140 extensions.
Where Lexware Office hits its limits
No native marketplace or payment-provider connection: Amazon, eBay or PayPal reconciliation runs through third parties with their own price.
OSS is not mentioned on the pricing or online-shop pages.
Public API only on the XL plan.
KudTax
What KudTax does differently
One plan, every feature
No module kit: marketplaces, payment providers, OSS reporting, e-invoicing and AI matching are included in every tier. The price depends on order volume alone.
Every channel in one reconciliation
60+ marketplaces, shops, payment providers and invoicing tools come together in one cockpit – payouts, fees and refunds are matched against documents.
Booking-ready for your target system
DATEV EXTF exports and other file formats. Agree the required format, tax keys and document references with your accountant.
Start for nothing
Free for good up to 25 orders a month, no payment details. Tax advisors work directly in the account, per client.
