All plans compared
One plan per legal form, one feature set. The only difference lies in the legal requirements of your legal form.
Your team, bookkeeping staff and tax firm all work in it at no extra charge. Payment via Mollie by SEPA direct debit, credit card, PayPal, or Klarna.
Several companies and groups
If you run several companies, such as a holding with subsidiaries, each one becomes a company of its own in your account. This is how the monthly amount adds up.
Each company at the rate of its own legal form, no group discount. This applies to the first company as to every further one. If you pay yearly, you pay 10 monthly amounts for twelve months.
- Holding with a subsidiary and a second-tier subsidiary: Muster Holding GmbH, Muster Technik GmbH and Muster Service GmbH, three corporations at €79 each: €237 per month, or €2,370 per year if paid yearly.
- And the same group with a property partnership of the shareholders: plus Muster Besitz GbR as a partnership at €49: €286 per month, or €2,860 per year if paid yearly.
Example with fictitious companies. All amounts are final prices including VAT. Users cost nothing extra; a plugin with its own price is added in the company where you switch it on.
A holding and its subsidiaries in ZepDeskKey figures flow upwards, with the consent of each subsidiary. The amount stays the same; the tax group costs nothing extra.
No figures flow between the companies. One login, roles per company.

Questions about pricing and contract
The essentials before you sign up. All other answers are on the FAQ page.
All questions and answersWhy is the price based on legal form?
Because the legal workload depends on it. A GmbH needs a balance sheet, E-Bilanz, and corporate income tax; a small business needs an EÜR (cash-basis accounting). Instead of selling core features individually, we tie the price to the scope of obligations; every plan includes the same feature set.
Which plan does a gGmbH or gUG book?
The corporation plan, because a gGmbH is a GmbH and a gUG is a UG (haftungsbeschränkt), each with recognized nonprofit status. The same applies to a nonprofit eG. Spheres, donation receipts, use of funds and reserves are included at no extra charge. The association & foundation plan is for registered associations and foundations.
Are there costs per user or per receipt?
No. There is no limit on users, receipts or entries per company, and access for your tax firm costs nothing extra either.
What does a second company cost?
The monthly price of its own legal form, whether it is the second or the tenth company in the account. All companies sit in one account and are switched via the company switcher.
Is there a discount for groups?
No. Every company in a group is a company of its own and costs the rate of its legal form; the tax group is not an add-on module and costs nothing extra. How a group is set up in ZepDesk is under Group with a holding company.
How do I cancel?
Under My account, My plan, with no reason required, effective at the end of the paid billing period. After that you have 30 days for the data export. Retention under § 147 AO is up to you; export your records before the end.
