Right for your profile?
Freelance
Best if: Hard to beat for EUR-only billing with a Tiime Expert accountant: Free at €0 or Smart at €17.99/month excl. VAT.
Avoid if: You invoice internationally in multiple currencies: Tiime is EUR-only.
TPE
Best if: Ideal for businesses of 1-20 employees with a partner accountant. Integrated pro account with Mastercard, Smart and Business tiers by headcount.
Avoid if: You need a public API to connect Tiime to your systems: it is not publicly documented.
Auto-entrepreneur
Best if: The Free plan is enough for low-volume invoicing, but the Tiime ecosystem is designed to work alongside an accountant.
Avoid if: Solo auto-entrepreneur without an accountant: Indy or Abby fit this case more naturally.
Artisan
Best if: Works for simple service trades (hairdressing, beauty) in a single location.
Avoid if: Building trades: Tiime handles neither progress billing nor retention withheld (Finance Heros).
PME
Best if: Headcount ceiling at 20 employees.
Avoid if: Exporters, multi-currency setups or businesses needing an API: pick Pennylane, Sage or Cegid.

Weaknesses, avoid if
- No built-in sales CRM (no deal pipeline or commercial follow-up): Tiime is limited to invoicing and bookkeeping (comparateur-efacturation.fr, 2026).
- EUR only: impossible to invoice in USD/GBP, and no foreign-currency transfers on the pro account (comparateur-efacturation.fr, 2026).
- E-invoice format limited to Factur-X (no UBL or CII), no documented public API: custom integrations are restricted compared to Pennylane or Sellsy (comparateur-efacturation.fr, 2026).
