Frequent questions
How is Timelane different from sevDesk / FastBill?
Timelane is lean and EU-focused. Instead of a full accounting suite, you get a clear
Time → Invoice → Paid flow with real differentiators: REST API, Self-Billing for
payouts, and honest pricing. If you need full accounting, sevDesk or FastBill are
the better fit. If you want to send compliant invoices fast, you're in the right place.
Does Timelane support the E-Rechnungs-Pflicht in Germany?
Yes. Timelane generates ZUGFeRD 2.x and XRechnung profiles, fully EN 16931 compliant.
Audit-ready for German B2B and public-sector customers from day one.
Is Timelane GoBD-compliant?
Yes — invoices are archived immutably and you get a full audit trail. Note: meeting
the statutory retention period is the customer's responsibility. You can export your
data anytime to your own archive.
Which countries are supported for e-invoicing?
EU-wide via EN 16931. Germany (XRechnung), Austria, and all EU countries that
recognize EN 16931. ZUGFeRD 2.x is fully supported in DE/AT.
Can I customize invoice templates with my branding?
Yes. Logo, colors, and footer texts are customizable. Free includes 1 template,
Starter 3, Pro unlimited templates.
Can I use Self-Billing for affiliates and contractors?
Yes — that's exactly what the Self-Billing feature is built for. You create the invoice
on behalf of your affiliate or contractor — properly numbered, properly linked,
audit-ready. We use it ourselves for the Verified.io
affiliate program.
Where is my data hosted? Can I export it?
Hosted on IONOS Germany, EU-only. Full data export available anytime. We keep your
data accessible for as long as your account is active — for long-term statutory
retention, export to your own archive.
Can I switch plans? What about refunds?
Upgrade or downgrade anytime through Stripe, pro-rata from the moment you switch.
No refunds for past periods, but no cancellation fees or minimum contract terms either.
The Free plan stays free forever.
