The full feature matrix lives on the SmartWerk vs eFaktura comparison page. This article helps you choose by situation: who you are and what you actually need — not marketing superlatives.
Persona 1 — Construction / field / mileage
You work on the road, want a strong mobile app and mileage-style tracking. eFaktura often fits better. SmartWerk is browser-first and focuses on quotes, invoices, contracts and reminders.
Persona 2 — IT / office / recurring clients
You send quotes, convert them to invoices, share invoice links and reminders, sometimes with a ZZP contract or CV. Then SmartWerk fits better: Polish or multilingual UI, Dutch invoice fields, a free start without a card.
Persona 3 — Switching from eFaktura
Stay on eFaktura if mobile + mileage are your #1. Consider SmartWerk if you use Excel/email for quote→invoice→reminder, or want contracts/CV next to invoices — without expecting KSeF (SmartWerk is for ZZP in NL).
- eFaktura: app, mileage, Peppol/KSeF direction.
- SmartWerk: quote→invoice→reminder, contracts, CV, start free.
- Both: Polish panel for many Polish ZZP — still check KvK/BTW/IBAN on NL invoices.

How to compare yourself: five questions
What do you use most: mobile on the road or at your computer? Do you need contracts and quotes, or mainly to send invoices fast? How important is your own language in the panel? Do you work with reminders and an accountant? And how does the price fit your situation? Answer honestly before choosing.
Switching: how to go about it
Export your client data and open invoices, enter your business details (KvK, VAT ID, IBAN) in your new profile and keep a short overlap. Keep your old invoices for the statutory retention period.
Test before you decide
Try both with one real invoice and one real quote. See whether the PDF is right, whether the client understands the payment details and whether you finish the work faster.
Frequently asked questions
Can I use both side by side?
Technically yes, but two systems means double admin and more chance of errors. Prefer one main system for your current financial year.
Do I lose my old invoices if I switch?
No, if you export and store them safely first. As a rule you must keep invoices for seven years.
Which suits me better if I don't work in Dutch?
Look at the language of the panel and of the documents. Your own language in the environment and a client document in your client's language is often a big advantage.
Are these tools a replacement for my accountant?
No. They help organise your records, but tax advice and returns stay with an adviser.
