Why Solo Enskild Firma Owners Are Leaving Bokio
Bokio originally became popular because it was simple and free. But as they shifted their focus toward limited companies (Aktiebolag), solo freelancers were left paying the price.
Paying 2,400+ SEK/yr for Basic Bookkeeping
Bokio eliminated its free plan and pushed prices to 199–299+ SEK every month. If you only send 2 to 5 invoices a month, paying thousands of Kronor every year feels like a penalty.
Free forever for up to 5 invoices/payouts a month. Our Pro plan is just 49 SEK/mo — saving you over 2,400 SEK annually.
Drowning in Limited Company Bloat
Bokio is filled with features you will never use in an Enskild Firma: salary payroll runs (lönekörning), employer declarations (AGI), share books, and board protocols. It adds clutter and confusion.
100% focused on Enskild Firma. Only what sole traders actually need: invoices, payouts, expenses, and Skatteverket tax boxes.
Clunky for Foreign Clients & Payouts
Paid in USD by Upwork, Stripe, or a foreign client? Bokio expects you to manually figure out exchange rates and how to book platform fees. Their English interface still feels like an afterthought.
Native English-first interface, live ECB currency conversions, automated platform fee splitting, and bilingual NE-bilaga toggle.

Why Freelancers Switched from Bokio
Expats across Stockholm, Gothenburg, and Malmö who left bloated tools behind.
Alex M.
Contract Software Engineer, Stockholm
"I was paying Bokio almost 3,000 SEK a year just to send two invoices a month to my US client. It felt ridiculous. I exported my SIE 4 file from Bokio, dragged it into EasyEnskildFirma, and was up and running in less than two minutes. The live currency conversions alone make it ten times better."
Frequently Asked Questions About Switching from Bokio
Everything you need to know about the product and billing.
Can I easily migrate my existing bookkeeping from Bokio?
Yes, in under 30 seconds! Under Swedish accounting standards, all bookkeeping systems support the official SIE 4 (.se) file format. Simply export your SIE 4 file from Bokio (Settings → Export), and upload it into EasyEnskildFirma. All your historical verifications, chart of accounts, and past fiscal years will be imported instantly with zero data loss.
Why is EasyEnskildFirma so much more affordable than Bokio?
Bokio shifted its focus towards Aktiebolag (limited companies), building complex features like corporate salary payroll (lönekörning), share registers, and bank integrations that cost a lot of infrastructure to maintain. We build exclusively for solo Enskild Firma owners. Because we don't carry limited company bloat, our overhead is low and we pass those savings directly to you.
Is EasyEnskildFirma really free forever?
Yes. Our Free tier includes 5 sent invoices, 2 quotes (offerter), payout tracking, double-entry bookkeeping, and official SIE 4 export every single month forever. No credit card required, and no 14-day trial countdown.
How does the English language experience compare to Bokio?
Bokio was built for Swedish companies first and later translated. EasyEnskildFirma was built in English by an expat founder specifically for non-Swedish speakers. Everything from tax box explanations to SaaS reverse charge (OpenAI, AWS, Google) and foreign currency gains is written in clear, plain English.
Will my Swedish accountant accept data from EasyEnskildFirma?
Yes. EasyEnskildFirma exports standard Swedish SIE 4 (.se) files, which can be opened and verified by any authorized accountant in Fortnox, Visma, or Wolters Kluwer. You enjoy a clean English interface while your accountant gets the exact Swedish BAS format they expect.
