    About

    In practice. What you can do with Indy.

    Indy is built for French freelancers and auto-entrepreneurs who want electronic invoicing, quotes and automated bookkeeping in one place. The free Essentiel plan already covers unlimited invoicing through a DGFiP-approved platform plus automated bookkeeping, with no mandatory tax declarations included.

    Paid plans start at 9 EUR/month billed annually on Plus, which adds e-signature and late-payment reminders. Premium, from 15 EUR/month for auto-entrepreneurs, adds automated mandatory tax declarations and one-click filings, though the price rises for other legal structures, up to 49 EUR/month for companies. It suits a solo freelancer handling their own admin, since the structure centers on one account.

    Practical uses

    • UsageA freelancer sends an electronic invoice through Indy's DGFiP-approved template, and the payment is logged automatically in the bookkeeping.
    • UsageAn auto-entrepreneur upgrades to Premium so each tax declaration is pre-filled and filed with one click instead of done by hand.

    The case for and against. What Indy does well, and when it costs too much.

    For. What works in its favour.

    • Mandatory tax filing is included in a single monthly price on Premium, instead of a separate accountant invoice.
    • The free plan already removes the cost of basic invoicing and bookkeeping needs.

    Pays off from

    14 minsaved a month

    Indy costs €9/month. If your hour is worth €40, those 14 min cover it.

    Against. What to plan for.

    • Premium plan price depends on legal structure, so the real monthly cost needs checking against your own status.
    • Mandatory tax declarations are locked behind Premium; the free and Plus tiers can't handle them.

    Too expensive if

    • You use it less than once a month
    • indy (free) already covers the essentials for occasional use

    Our verdict. What to know about Indy.

    How the score breaks down

    Added value

    The free Essentiel plan already covers unlimited invoicing and bookkeeping, and Premium adds mandatory tax declarations from 15 EUR/month for auto-entrepreneurs, a low fixed cost for the administrative tasks it replaces.

    Simplicity

    Neutral score: time and skill needed to reach a first useful result are not covered by the collected sources.

    Fit for purpose

    Automated bookkeeping and one-click government filings on Premium show the product carries out the declared task directly, without describing workarounds.

    Performance

    The feature set stays focused on invoicing, bookkeeping and mandatory declarations; broader accounting or banking capabilities are not described in the collected sources.

    Reversibility

    Neutral score: data export formats and portability are not covered by the collected sources.

    AI. What it changes for Indy.

    AI augments this tool

    Go further with AI

    Indy integrated AI suggestions for drafting contracts and quotes, but remains primarily a French administrative management tool for freelancers (invoices, contracts, client tracking, declarations).

    Can AI replace it?

    Replace Indy with an AI? No: a French freelancer's administrative management (compliant invoicing, contracts, declarations) remains a regulated need. AI helps write faster, it doesn't replace administrative compliance. Verdict: AI augments writing, admin management remains the product.
