Before you commit to an invoicing program, you want to know one thing: what do you actually get for your money, and what will it really cost you over a year? Fakturoid and iDoklad are two of the most widely used invoicing programs among self-employed people (OSVČ — the Czech term for a self-employed sole trader) in the Czech Republic, and choosing between them is often close: both have a similar tier structure, similar features, and similar free-plan limits.
This comparison lists both programs' prices excluding VAT as verified on 24 September 2026, the differences in what you actually get, and three business profiles that each tool suits best. At the end we show a third option too — Taxorio, which covers similar ground for a considerably lower price, but with different limits of its own.
Fakturoid and iDoklad at a glance
Fakturoid is a Czech invoicing program aimed at self-employed people and smaller businesses, built around simplicity and payment matching with ten Czech banks. It also runs its own MCP server — a connector that lets AI assistants such as Claude work directly with your invoicing data — available since April 2026.
iDoklad targets a similar audience but puts more weight on the number of users per account and direct bank-account matching with selected banks. Both programs offer a free plan, paid tiers billed monthly or annually, and a trial period for paid features — 30 days of the Na maximum tier at Fakturoid, 60 days of the Prémiový tier at iDoklad with no card required.
Plans and pricing as of 24 September 2026
The prices below are excluding VAT: first billed monthly, then in brackets billed annually.
| Tier | Fakturoid | iDoklad |
|---|---|---|
| Free | Unlimited invoices, max. 5 customers, 1 recurring invoice, no expense tracking | Max. 5 contacts, recurring invoices, foreign currencies, mobile app |
| Lowest paid tier | Na lehko — 164 CZK/month (1,812 CZK/year, i.e. 151 CZK/month) | Základní — 240 CZK/month (2,240 CZK/year, i.e. 187 CZK/month) |
| Mid tier | Na každý den — 231 CZK/month (2,532 CZK/year, i.e. 211 CZK/month) | Oblíbený — 430 CZK/month (4,300 CZK/year, i.e. 358 CZK/month) |
| Top tier | Na maximum — 429 CZK/month (4,716 CZK/year, i.e. 393 CZK/month) | Prémiový — 750 CZK/month (7,500 CZK/year, i.e. 625 CZK/month) |
Annual billing works out cheaper than twelve monthly payments on both programs — about 8% less at Fakturoid (one month free), 17 to 22% less at iDoklad depending on the tier. New businesses (business ID younger than 12 months) get 50% off their first year at Fakturoid.
What you get for free, and where the limits are
Both free plans work as a genuine starting point, but each limits a different thing. Fakturoid Free has no cap on the number of invoices you issue, but you can only invoice up to five customers, set up just one recurring invoice, and there is no expense tracking. iDoklad Free caps you at five contacts, but allows recurring invoices and foreign-currency invoicing; AI document scanning isn't included. Neither free plan includes bank payment matching or automatic payment reminders.
If you invoice only a handful of regular clients, the five-customer limit may never bother you. If you keep adding new clients, though, you will eventually hit the five-contact ceiling on both programs. A broader look at invoicing tools for Czech freelancers, including the free tiers, is in our article Best invoicing software for Czech freelancers 2026.
Payment matching, reminders, and recurring invoices
This is where the price gap between the two programs shows most. Fakturoid bundles bank payment matching, automatic payment reminders, and expense tracking into its Na každý den tier at 231 CZK a month (2,532 CZK a year billed annually); AI document scanning includes five documents, then 4 CZK per document. iDoklad only unlocks bank matching and automatic reminders in its Oblíbený tier at 430 CZK a month (4,300 CZK a year billed annually), alongside the VAT return, the VAT control statement, the income tax return, and five user seats.
Recurring invoices — automatically reissuing the same invoice on a schedule — are unlimited only in Fakturoid's top Na maximum tier, alongside inventory tracking and quotes; lower tiers cap the number of recurring templates. iDoklad, by contrast, includes recurring invoices even in its free plan.
Bank connections: who supports what
Fakturoid matches payments from the email notifications your bank sends and lists the banks it supports: in Czechia Fio (also via API), Komerční banka, Air Bank, Česká spořitelna, ČSOB (including Era), Raiffeisenbank, MONETA, UniCredit, Creditas and Citfin; in Slovakia ČSOB, Fio, Slovenská sporiteľňa and Tatra banka; plus payments via GoPay and PayPal. Notifications can also be forwarded from Gmail or Seznam. mBank and Partners banka aren't supported yet, and you can't upload a bank statement to match payments retroactively. iDoklad relies on direct bank-account API connections with selected banks, which tends to be more convenient but is limited to supported banks and only available from the Oblíbený tier upward.
Exporting your data if you ever decide to leave
Fakturoid lets you export your invoices, but a custom date range is capped at three months at a time, so leaving the program means exporting your history in batches. If you're planning a switch, build this step into your timeline early and spread it across several exports. iDoklad's public price list doesn't specify the scope or format of its export in detail — check the terms directly with support before you commit to switching away.
AI document recognition and mobile access
Both programs offer AI-based recognition of received documents such as bills and receipts. Fakturoid includes it from the Na každý den tier, with five documents included and 4 CZK for each one after that. iDoklad includes it from the Oblíbený tier: three documents free, then 500 CZK per 100 documents. If you photograph receipts on the go, the cost of extra scans can matter — check the current terms with both providers, since they change as often as the pricing tiers themselves.
Both offer a mobile app for iPhone and Android; iDoklad includes it in every tier, including the free one. If invoicing from your phone matters to you, try both apps before buying a paid tier.
How much this actually costs you per year
Converting to an annual figure shows the difference most clearly. The prices below are excluding VAT and apply to the lowest tier with payment matching and automatic reminders. More than one recurring invoice needs Fakturoid's Na maximum tier at 4,716 CZK a year.
| Program and tier | Annual cost, billed yearly (excl. VAT) |
|---|---|
| Fakturoid, Na každý den | 2,532 CZK (211 CZK a month) |
| iDoklad, Oblíbený | 4,300 CZK (358 CZK a month) |
| Taxorio, Pro | 690 CZK |
At annual pricing, Taxorio's Pro plan comes out roughly 3.7 times cheaper than Fakturoid's Na každý den tier, and around six times cheaper than iDoklad's Oblíbený tier. The comparison isn't only about price, though: before deciding, check whether each tier also includes features you will actually use outside of automation, such as inventory tracking, extra user seats, or a specific bank connection.
Three profiles: which tool suits you
A new non-VAT payer with a handful of invoices a month
If you issue only a few invoices a month and five customers is enough, both Fakturoid's and iDoklad's free plans will cover you. The deciding factor is whether you want recurring invoices from day one (iDoklad) or an unlimited number of issued invoices (Fakturoid).
A freelancer with 10 to 30 invoices who needs matching and reminders
Here the choice is between Fakturoid's Na každý den tier (231 CZK/month, or 2,532 CZK/year billed annually) and iDoklad's Oblíbený tier (430 CZK/month, or 4,300 CZK/year billed annually) — both include payment matching and reminders, iDoklad adds five user seats, while Fakturoid matches payments with ten Czech banks, including the Fio API.
A small business with a team and inventory
A team with several users and inventory tracking needs the top tier of either program — Fakturoid's Na maximum or iDoklad's Prémiový. Taxorio isn't a fit for this profile: it doesn't support inventory tracking or multiple companies on one account.
How to switch from Fakturoid or iDoklad
Switching invoicing programs doesn't have to mean retyping every client and invoice by hand. History can be imported from Fakturoid via an XML export, and from iDoklad via an XLSX or CSV export. Step-by-step instructions for both are in our guides on importing from Fakturoid and importing from iDoklad.
Detailed profiles of both competing programs are also available on our Fakturoid alternative and iDoklad alternative pages, and a broader comparison of seven invoicing programs by business type is in our article Best invoicing software for Czech freelancers 2026 or on our invoicing software comparison page.

How Taxorio handles this
Taxorio is an invoicing program built specifically for self-employed people. For 69 CZK a month or 690 CZK a year (excluding VAT), it includes unlimited clients and expense records, payment matching from email notifications or statements from any bank, automatic reminders, recurring invoices, AI receipt scanning, and XML exports for the VAT return, the VAT control statement (kontrolní hlášení — a separate monthly or quarterly report of VAT transactions filed alongside the VAT return), and a basic income tax return scenario. The free plan, with no credit card required, gives you unlimited invoices for 5 clients in total and 5 expense documents a month — so, as with Fakturoid and iDoklad, the limit is on the number of clients rather than the number of invoices. The trial is shorter than at either competitor: new accounts get their first 14 days of Pro free, with no credit card, and then switch to the free plan on their own — nothing is charged.
Taxorio doesn't do everything, though: there's no inventory tracking, only one company per account, no One Stop Shop (OSS) scheme for selling to EU consumers, and no native app in the app stores — it runs as a web application in the browser, which you can add to your phone's home screen like an app. Foreign-currency invoicing it does handle (CZK, EUR, USD, GBP, CHF, PLN, converted at the ČNB rate). For a team with inventory, Taxorio isn't the right choice; for a self-employed person who wants automation without a high monthly fee, it can be.
