The EU billing alternative to Zendo
Run your productized agency on branded client portals and subscription plans, and bill through your own Moneybird, Mollie or Stripe account. iDEAL, Bancontact and VAT invoicing are built in.
No card required · Bills through your own Mollie or Moneybird
Zendo is a mature platform for selling and delivering services: a storefront with order forms, a chat thread per request, recurring plans and a Kanban board. It is a European company and a genuinely good tool. Doorst.app covers the same ground with one decisive difference: you choose the billing rails. Zendo integrates Stripe as its only payment provider, and no accounting tool natively. Doorst.app lets you bill through your own Moneybird administration, Mollie or Stripe account, so invoices land in your books with VAT handled and iDEAL and Bancontact built in. If your bookkeeping lives in Moneybird and your clients pay with iDEAL, Doorst.app is built for you.

The difference is where the money goes
Native Moneybird bookkeeping
Doorst.app creates and sends invoices straight from your own Moneybird administration. Zendo integrates no accounting tool natively, so its invoices are downloaded one by one and your bookkeeping stays a separate job unless you bridge it yourself with Zapier.
Booked, not just collected
With Moneybird, every payment is booked into your accounting the moment a client pays. Zendo collects through Stripe and stops there, so you still export and reconcile into your accounts at month end.
European billing, not just a European company
Zendo is built in Europe, but its only integrated processor is Stripe and its tax support is a default percentage you set in workspace settings and override per service, not VAT rule handling. Doorst.app treats iDEAL, Bancontact and VAT-friendly invoicing as the defaults.
Where Zendo might fit you better
No tool wins on everything. Here is where Zendo is ahead today, so you can choose with eyes open.
- Zendo ships twelve interface languages today, Dutch included, for your team and your clients. Doorst.app is warmest in English and Dutch, with more languages in progress.
- Zendo has a real free tier that freelancers rate highly, and its paid plans start at 25 dollar per month billed annually (29 month to month). Doorst.app starts at 15 euro per month.
- Zendo has been shipping since 2021 and its white-label goes further than ours today: a custom domain and email address on its Pro plan, custom CSS and removing the Zendo branding on Agency. Doorst.app gives each agency a branded subdomain today, with custom domains on the roadmap.
- Zendo runs its whole operation through a chat thread per request and supports 116 currencies. Doorst.app keeps delivery deliberately light and is focused on the euro and EU billing.
Frequently asked questions
Yes. Both run a productized agency: branded client portals, a service catalog, subscription plans and a delivery board. The difference is billing. Doorst.app charges through your own Moneybird administration, Mollie or Stripe account, so invoices land in your books with VAT handled, on the provider you choose.
Zendo integrates Stripe as its only payment provider, with PayPal and bank transfer handled manually. Doorst.app lets you pick the provider: your own Moneybird administration, Mollie or Stripe account. The payment is booked into your accounting the moment a client pays, with iDEAL, Bancontact and VAT invoicing built in.
Zendo does not document iDEAL, Bancontact or SEPA direct debit anywhere in its product or help centre, and Stripe is its only integrated processor, so European methods depend on your own Stripe setup rather than being native to the tool. Doorst.app has iDEAL and Bancontact built in through Mollie and Moneybird, so your clients pay the way they already do. Automatic SEPA collection is on our roadmap, not shipped today.
No. Zendo lists no native accounting integration, so invoices are downloaded individually and entered into your books by hand unless you build a Zapier bridge yourself. Doorst.app bills from your own Moneybird administration, so the invoice and the payment are booked where your accountant already works.
Zendo has twelve interface languages, a real free tier, years of maturity and a fuller white-label, with custom domains on its Pro plan. Doorst.app is younger and leads on native EU billing. If native Moneybird invoicing and iDEAL matter most, Doorst.app is the better fit.
