True hidden cost
Pricing is transparent on tiime.fr/tarifs as of 17/06/2026, but the 7-tier grid (Free / Smart x3 / Business x3) scaled by headcount requires careful reading. The free plan is comprehensive.

Data export freedom
Factur-X and PDF invoice exports available. No UBL or CII support, EUR-only, no documented public API: reduced flexibility for custom integrations.

Learning curve
Learning curve is manageable according to user feedback, especially with support from a Tiime Expert accountant. Without an accountant the tool remains usable but delivers less of its value.

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).
