Conta review

Conta combines accounting, invoicing, payroll and year-end accounts for Norwegian sole proprietorships and limited companies. It also supports collaboration with an accountant or auditor, so it is aimed at both business owners handling their books and firms that work with an external professional.

The product description lists invoicing by PDF, EHF or eFaktura, receipt recording, bank connections for automatic reconciliation and pre-filled VAT returns. Conta also offers guided payroll as an add-on, plus tools for preparing tax returns and annual accounts. Time tracking can feed hours into customer invoices and accounting, and its mobile app is for keeping receipts.

That makes Conta broader than an invoicing tool, but the published plan information is much narrower than the feature list: it names one accounting plan, Conta Regnskap Standard. If you are switching, confirm which functions are included in that plan and which require add-ons before comparing it with your current system.

Conta’s appeal is having routine finance work in one Norwegian system. The stated features cover the loop from recording receipts and reconciling bank activity to handling VAT, sending invoices and preparing year-end accounts. That can reduce the need to stitch together separate tools, although the published material does not establish how much automation is included at each price.

The product description also points to practical features for small businesses and their advisers:

• Send invoices as PDF, EHF or eFaktura; Conta Smart includes KID numbers.
• Connect a bank for automatic reconciliation and submit pre-filled VAT returns.
• Track time, invoice customers and update accounting automatically.
• Use the mobile app to keep receipts, or collaborate with an accountant or auditor.

The listed Conta Regnskap Standard plan includes unlimited vouchers and unlimited user access, with no per-user subscription fee. That is a useful pricing detail for a business that needs several people to access its books: the listed plan does not charge more simply for adding users. The product is positioned for sole proprietorships and limited companies, rather than being described as a specialist tool for only one business type.

The price needs a closer read before you switch. Conta Regnskap Standard is listed at 209 kr per month, but the source says that price is billed annually; monthly billing is not offered, and the annual total is not published. There is no free plan, though a 30-day free trial is listed. Do not treat 209 kr as a month-to-month option.

The published pricing information names only one plan, so it does not show whether every feature in Conta’s product description is included in Standard. Payroll is explicitly an add-on, but its price is not published on the vendor's site. The listed add-ons section is empty, which leaves the cost of payroll and any other extras unclear. Ask for the full bill before moving payroll or year-end work into the system.

The plan does list unlimited vouchers and user access, with no per-user subscription fee. But that does not answer what other usage limits or service conditions apply; those are not published here. A 30-day trial is useful for checking fit, but it does not remove the annual-billing commitment if you subscribe.

Conta’s listed plan is Conta Regnskap Standard at 209 kr per month, billed annually, according to pricing information checked on November 6, 2026. Monthly billing is not offered, and the annual total is not published, so confirm the amount due before you commit. There is no free plan; the listing includes a 30-day free trial.

Standard includes unlimited vouchers and user access, with no per-user subscription fee. The published pricing lists only this plan, so there’s no documented tier jump to compare. Conta also offers payroll as an add-on, but its price—and any other add-on prices—are not published on the vendor's site. Don’t treat the 209 kr figure as the full cost if you need payroll or other extras. The plan is aimed at businesses needing accounting software; check which features are included before switching, especially if your current setup bundles payroll or other services.

The published information doesn’t explain how to import accounting history, migrate invoices or export your data from Conta. It also doesn’t specify which export formats are available. Before switching, ask Conta and your accountant what records can be moved, what stays accessible after cancellation, and whether you can retrieve receipts, VAT filings, payroll records and year-end accounts in usable formats. Keep copies of key records before changing systems.

Conta covers accounting, invoicing, payroll and year-end accounts, so moving away may involve replacing more than one workflow. That’s a planning consideration, not a documented lock-in restriction: the published sources don’t establish that Conta prevents exports or makes cancellation difficult. We also don’t have Reddit posts or comments in the published material, so we can’t reliably attribute reasons for leaving to users. Get migration and export answers in writing before committing to the annual billing.
