WHY LUMABILL

Magic Heidi writes invoices too. It doesn't do bookkeeping.

Magic Heidi is a strong invoicing app for freelancers - with native apps for iOS, Android, macOS and Windows. LumaBill goes three steps further.

Real double-entry bookkeeping from CHF 19

Magic Heidi records invoices and expenses - but there is no double-entry bookkeeping, no P&L, no balance sheet and no VAT report. LumaBill Pro delivers the full bookkeeping stack for CHF 19: CAMT.053 bank import, fiscal-year close and a GeBüV-compliant audit export included.

Multiple companies, one account

Magic Heidi is built for a single freelancer. Running several companies - as a founder, with a side business or a holding? LumaBill Pro manages up to 5 company profiles in one account, switching with one click.

Run your books by AI (MCP server)

Connect Claude, ChatGPT or Cursor straight to LumaBill: "Create an invoice for client X". A native MCP server gives your AI assistant full, secure access - something Magic Heidi doesn't offer.

Bookkeeping included instead of missing

Magic Heidi costs CHF 25 per month (billed annually) - with no double-entry bookkeeping, balance sheet or VAT report. LumaBill starts at CHF 9, and CHF 19 buys you the full bookkeeping stack with reports and year-end close. To be fair: Magic Heidi's AI scanning is included in its price, while LumaBill's AI tier is CHF 29 - but ours sits on top of real bookkeeping.
