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.

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.
