Choose Papierkram if…
You need German accounting compliance (GoBD, EÜR, USt) and you're happy tracking your time with timers.
Papierkram vs Gango
German bookkeeping & invoicing · for freelancers who'd rather be making things
Papierkram is solid German bookkeeping: quotes, invoices, GoBD-compliant accounting, with time tracking built in. Gango isn't an accounting suite. It's the helper that makes sure the hours get captured at all, and that the invoice actually gets paid.
Choose Gango if…
Your bottleneck isn't the bookkeeping. It's the untracked hours and the invoices nobody follows up on.
