Worth it once mandatory tax filing is needed: Premium starts at 15 EUR/month (180 EUR/year) for auto-entrepreneurs, billed annually.
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.

Pros and cons. What Indy does well, and what to expect.
Pros
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.
Cons
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.

Indy becomes worthwhile when

Challenge if
You run a company structure, where Premium costs up to 49 EUR/month, or you need multi-user team accounting.
Indy becomes too expensive when
−You use it less than once a month
−indy (free) already covers the essentials for occasional use
