iDoklad vs Fakturoid: which to choose

Both programs are purely Czech, both handle invoicing even on the free plan, and both have a mobile app. The difference lies in the philosophy: Fakturoid bets on simplicity and automatically calculates the advance payments for social and health insurance, while iDoklad adds an advanced inventory module and stronger bank integration for a goods-based business.

Fakturoid = simplicity and contributions iDoklad = inventory and a goods-based business free plan: both for max. 5 clients paid from 164 vs 187 Kč/month

Which one is better for whom

Fakturoid — freelancer and solo self-employed (OSVČ): simple to use, the lowest entry price (from 164 Kč/month) and automatic calculation of the advance payments for social and health insurance. An integrated data box (datová schránka) even in the free app. Less suitable where you need an extensive inventory. iDoklad — a growing goods-based business: an advanced inventory and price list (including barcodes) already from the basic plan, automatic matching of payments from several banks, the AI Finanční radar and a link to the Money S3 accounting software. Suitable for an e-shop, goods or multiple users.

Connection with self-employed (OSVČ) contributions for 2026

The advance payment calculation in Fakturoid will help you estimate your contributions, but always verify the final figures. For 2026, for a main activity count on a minimum advance payment for social insurance of 5 720 Kč/month (valid for the January–June 2026 period). The approved amendment lowers the minimum assessment base from 40 % to 35 % of the average wage, so from July 2026 the minimum social advance drops to 5 005 Kč/month and any overpayment for the first half-year is refunded. The minimum advance payment for health insurance is 3 306 Kč/month throughout 2026.

If you run a secondary activity, you pay social insurance only when you exceed the decisive amount of 117 521 Kč of annual profit for 2026. No invoicing program will submit the contributions on your behalf — it serves as an overview tool and for preparing the supporting documentation. All amounts and deadlines verified for 2026 against ČSSZ (Czech Social Security Administration) data and the Tax Administration (Finanční správa).
