How we pick
Real prices for your team size
Not the headline "from" price. We calculate the yearly cost for a realistic team, including the add-ons you will need.
European fit
Where your data is stored, VAT handling, local e-invoicing rules, and which languages the tool and its support speak.
Daily use, not demos
We judge tools by the jobs a small office repeats every week: invoices, timesheets, month-end, onboarding a new hire.
Why this site exists
Onturgus is run from Lithuania by a person who handles the paperwork for three businesses and a team of around 26 people: invoices, payroll, timesheets, contracts. Choosing software for that work took longer than it should have. These guides are the shortcut we wanted.
