Both tools do “accounting”, but that’s about where the similarity stops. Dexxter is built for Belgian self-employed people who want to do their own accounting. Odoo is a modular ERP platform that sees accounting as just one of many building blocks.

Who is it for?

Dexxter is best for entrepreneurs who want one thing above all else: to do their accounting correctly, quickly and without hassle. Think of self-employed people, freelancers and side hustlers who don’t want to deal with complex settings or ERP logic. You invoice, scan your expenses, do your VAT declaration and you’re done. Everything is built around the Belgian reality: VAT, Peppol, reporting. You don’t need to be an accountant or consultant to work with it. Dexxter is suitable for entrepreneurs who prefer to invest their time in their business rather than in software.

Odoo, on the other hand, is suitable for companies that see accounting as one part of a larger whole. It is not purely an accounting package, but a modular business platform. Odoo comes into its own when processes become more complex: multiple collaborators, sales flows, CRM, inventory, projects or e-commerce. That flexibility comes at a price: configuration, making choices. You often need a partner or expert to configure the software. Odoo is ideal for SMEs or growing companies that are willing to invest in a system that grows with their organisation.

Functionality

Both tools offer many functionalities. Whereas Dexxter focuses more on accounting, your status and Belgian legislation, Odoo is stronger in integrations and modules that go beyond accounting.

Accounting doesn’t have to be a lonely adventure. Good support and an enabled community make the difference between getting stuck and moving forward. Start your trial now to check the functionality of Dexxter.

Support & community

Dexxter

Dexxter is strongly committed to supporting self-employed people. Through a free course entitled ‘Doing your own bookkeeping as a sole proprietor’, you learn step by step how everything works. The learning center is extensive, with clear videos and articles written in plain language. In addition, there is an enabled community of self-employed people where familiar questions and situations are discussed.

Odoo

Odoo has a large international user and developer community. This is valuable, but technical and less focused on Belgian accounting questions. Support is usually provided by an implementation partner or consultant. Documentation is extensive, but less accessible to non-technical users. Good support, but rarely a ‘quick answer’.

Conclusion

Dexxter is the right choice if you simply want to do your accounting properly, correctly and without wasting time. It is designed for Belgian self-employed people who want to do their own bookkeeping, with clear guidance, Peppol, VAT flows and support in plain language. No configuration, no consultants, no surprises. Open, use, done. Start your trial now!

Odoo is interesting as soon as accounting becomes just one part of your company. If you have multiple processes, collaborators, sales channels or need customisation to automate your company, then Odoo comes into the picture. That does require time, investments and often external help.
