Das Programm offers a broad feature set — with GoBD, GAEB, DATEV, IDS-Connect and e-invoicing. Das Programm's Pro tier includes, among other things, AI work reports, AI recognition of incoming invoices and an API. But: at least one base-package user is mandatory, setup packages are optional but paid, and billing runs across three user classes (office/expert/app). With Meistify you pay 588 €/year (Professional) for 5 users — flat fee, no setup packages.
