The Spiris (Visma) Pricing Trap vs. The EasyEnskildFirma Way
Spiris lures you in with 'free for 6 months' — and then locks you into paying 199 to 349 SEK every month for software built in technical Swedish.
Expensive Teasers & Swedish Legacy Jargon
-
✕
The 6-Month Teaser Trap After the initial promo period ends, your monthly bill jumps to 199 kr/mo (Starta) or 349 kr/mo (Driva) + VAT. That's over 4,100 SEK/year for basic invoicing.
-
✕
Traditional Swedish Accounting Clutter Underneath the new Spiris brand lies the old Visma engine. Full of debet, kredit, and Swedish accounting concepts that non-accountants struggle with.
-
✕
Clunky for US & EU Freelancers No live ECB currency rates. Billed a client in USD or EUR? You have to calculate rates by hand and book complicated currency difference entries.
-
✕
SaaS Reverse Charge Requires Manual Vouchers Foreign software receipts like Adobe, Figma, or ChatGPT need manual 4-line journal entries across BAS accounts 6540, 2645, 2614, and 1930.

Why Solo Enskild Firma Owners Are Leaving Spiris Behind
Visma eEkonomi changed its name to Spiris, but solo freelancers are still stuck with the same high prices and Swedish-first complexity.
Paying 2,400 to 4,100+ SEK Every Year
Spiris's plans cost 199 kr/mo (Starta), 349 kr/mo (Driva), or 549 kr/mo (Skala). If you're a solo freelancer sending a few client invoices a month, spending thousands of Kronor on basic software eats into your hard-earned profit.
The Visma Legacy Jargon
A fresh brand name doesn't change the software underneath. Spiris is still built around traditional Swedish accounting workflows. For non-Swedish speakers, trying to figure out Swedish chart of accounts codes is stressful and time-consuming.
Clunky for Foreign Clients & Payouts
If you receive client payouts from Upwork, Stripe, or Deel, or subscribe to US tools like OpenAI and Figma, Spiris provides no automated multi-currency fee splitting or 0% reverse charge handling.
You enter plain English. We generate the BAS accounts.
In Spiris, you have to manually choose 4-digit BAS codes or hire an accountant. In EasyEnskildFirma, you just enter what happened in English — and our engine balances your Swedish books in the background.

Olga K.
Management Consultant, Malmö
"I signed up for Visma eEkonomi (now Spiris) because of their 6-month free teaser. When month 7 arrived and they billed me 349 SEK, I realized I was paying over 4,000 kr a year just to invoice three clients a month! Switched to EasyEnskildFirma, imported my SIE 4 file in 20 seconds, and haven't looked back."
Frequently Asked Questions About Replacing Spiris
Everything you need to know about the product and billing.
What is Spiris and is it the same as Visma eEkonomi?
Yes! Spiris is the new rebranded name for Visma eEkonomi, the cloud accounting software developed by Visma Spcs. While the name and brand colors changed, the underlying product is still Visma's traditional Swedish accounting engine with plans starting at 199 to 349 SEK/month.
Why is EasyEnskildFirma so much cheaper than Spiris (Visma)?
Spiris charges 199 SEK/month (Starta plan) or 349 SEK/month (Driva plan) — amounting to 2,400 to 4,100+ SEK per year. They build software for medium-sized Swedish companies with complex payroll, inventory, and multiple users. EasyEnskildFirma builds exclusively for solo Enskild Firma owners and consultants. Without corporate overhead, we can offer a 100% free forever tier and a Pro plan for just 49 SEK/month.
How does the English experience in EasyEnskildFirma compare to Spiris?
Spiris was designed in Swedish for Swedish bookkeepers. Even with partial translations, technical accounting jargon like 'omvänd skattskyldighet', 'interimsfordringar', and 'schablonavdrag' can be deeply confusing. EasyEnskildFirma is designed from day one in plain English by an expat founder. You record what happened in English, and the system generates compliant Swedish tax codes automatically.
Can I migrate my existing bookkeeping from Spiris or Visma eEkonomi?
Yes, in under 30 seconds! Under Swedish law, all accounting platforms must support the open Swedish SIE 4 (.se) format. In Spiris, navigate to Settings → Import & Export → SIE, export your .se file, and drop it into EasyEnskildFirma. All historical verifications, opening balances, and account history import seamlessly.
Will my Swedish accountant accept data from EasyEnskildFirma?
Yes, 100%. EasyEnskildFirma exports standard Swedish SIE 4 (.se) files, which is the universal standard used by every certified accountant and auditor in Sweden (including those who use Visma, Fortnox, or Wolters Kluwer).
Does Spiris really increase prices after 6 months?
Yes. Spiris advertises '0 kr for 6 months' for newly started businesses. However, as soon as that promotional period ends, you are locked into paying 199 kr/month (2,388 kr/year) or 349 kr/month (4,188 kr/year) + VAT. EasyEnskildFirma's Free plan has no trial countdown and remains free forever.
