Quick comparison

Five dimensions that matter most when choosing between e-invoicing compliance platforms.

Dimension Clearvo Fonoa
Self-serve access Sign up at app.clearvo.io/login — no sales call, no demo required Enterprise sales process — contact Fonoa to begin; no self-serve signup
Transparent pricing Published per-document pricing at clearvo.io/pricing Custom enterprise quotes only — pricing not published
E-invoicing mandate depth 32 countries, native format per mandate — FatturaPA, KSeF FA(3), XRechnung, BIS 3.0, VeriFactu, Factur-X, and more E-invoicing across multiple countries, but as part of a broader platform rather than specialist mandate implementation
Time to go live First test invoice in minutes; production same day Weeks to months — sales process, contract, and onboarding required before first submission
Indirect tax breadth Focused on e-invoicing, real-time reporting, and tax number verification Broader indirect tax platform: VAT calculation, returns filing, tax knowledge layer, audit tools

Where each platform wins

Where Clearvo wins
  • Self-serve signup. Fonoa is enterprise-only — you cannot sign up and start submitting invoices without going through a sales process. Clearvo is fully self-serve.
  • Transparent pricing. We publish our per-document rates. You can calculate your expected costs before you talk to anyone. Fonoa does not publish pricing.
  • Faster go-live. First invoice in minutes on Clearvo. No contract negotiation or professional services engagement required to begin.
  • Mandate-specific implementation depth. Each Clearvo country integration is built against the authority specification — FatturaPA, KSeF, XRechnung — not adapted from a generic layer.
  • Peppol Access Point included. Clearvo is a certified Peppol AP (PIE001162) — no additional network fees or third-party routing.
  • EU data residency by default. All data in Azure West Europe (Dublin). GDPR compliant, no configuration needed.
Where Fonoa wins
  • Broader indirect tax platform. Fonoa covers VAT calculation, tax determination, and returns filing in addition to e-invoicing. If you need all of this from one vendor with a single enterprise contract, Fonoa has wider scope.
  • Global VAT returns filing. If coordinated global VAT returns across many jurisdictions are a core requirement — not just EU e-invoicing — Fonoa's returns capabilities are broader.
  • Enterprise procurement preference. Some procurement teams require a recognised enterprise brand. Fonoa fits that model; Clearvo does not sell that way.

Clearvo is live today for teams in Italy, Poland, France, Germany, Spain, Belgium, and across 32 countries.

Pick the right tool for your situation

Clearvo is a good fit if

You need e-invoicing compliance fast and self-serve

Clearvo is built for companies that need to meet EU e-invoicing mandates — Italy, Poland, France, Belgium, Germany, Spain — without a months-long procurement process. Finance teams and developers can sign up, connect, and submit invoices the same day.

Also a good fit for: SaaS platforms embedding e-invoicing for their customers, mid-market companies expanding into Europe, teams that want transparent costs and no sales negotiation.

Fonoa may be worth evaluating if

You need a full indirect tax suite and have an enterprise procurement cycle

If your requirements extend beyond e-invoicing — VAT rate determination, global returns filing, and audit tooling all under one contract — and you have the timeline and budget for a multi-month enterprise onboarding, Fonoa covers that wider surface area.

Worth noting: Fonoa's e-invoicing is part of a broader platform, not a specialist implementation. If EU mandate compliance is your primary problem, that breadth comes at a cost in complexity and time-to-live.
