One thing done right, not many done halfway
KLARA is a broad business platform with CRM and payroll. LumaBill focuses on invoicing and bookkeeping - and does exactly that better.
Real double-entry bookkeeping from day one
KLARA has no free plan, only a free trial: its cheapest package (BASIC) starts at CHF 48 per month, PLUS at CHF 69 and PREMIUM at CHF 111. With LumaBill, full Swiss bookkeeping with journal and chart of accounts starts at CHF 15.83 per month.
AI assistant + MCP server
Scan receipts, categorise expenses and run your books via Claude, ChatGPT or Cursor through a native MCP server. KLARA doesn't offer this.
Focused, no upselling
Instead of a suite with constant upgrade nudges, LumaBill gives you exactly what you need to invoice and keep books - at a clear, lower price.
