Short answer

The price mainly depends on whether you only need to send, receive and store invoices or also need deadlines, inventory, collaborators and payment tools. The checked price lists publish annual fees, not one mandatory price for everyone.

Electronic invoicing is not a product with one nationwide price. It is a group of digital services that send documents to Italy’s exchange system and store them. For a sole trader with few invoices, the useful benchmark is the renewal price of a basic service. For someone using quotes, orders, collections and multiple users, the software becomes a management platform and the budget changes substantially. Aruba lists €29.90 plus VAT a year to renew its service with 1 GB of storage. Fatture in Cloud lists a €48-plus-VAT first year for its flat-rate plan and €96 plus VAT on renewal, with plans from €144 to €612 plus VAT for broader needs. These are comparable as supplier subscriptions, but not as identical products.

How to spend less

  1. Compare the renewal price, not just a trial or a discounted first year.
  2. If you issue few invoices and use the flat-rate tax regime, check the annual document limits before paying for a fuller plan.
  3. Add VAT and the administration charge to a net price to know the actual debit.
  4. Do not add inventory, order or collection modules if you already manage them elsewhere.
  5. Ask your accountant which access or export they need before paying for extra users.

Frequently asked questions

Is an electronic invoicing service legally required to be paid for?

No. This guide compares commercial services with their own features and support; their subscription is not a tax. Before paying, decide whether their functions are useful to you and whether your accountant requires a particular tool. The cost makes sense only when the service saves work or centralises activities you would otherwise handle separately.

Why can the first-year price be lower?

Providers may offer an activation or first-year promotion. Aruba shows a €1-plus-VAT offer for three months but also publishes a €29.90-plus-VAT annual renewal. Fatture in Cloud lists €48 plus VAT for the first year of its flat-rate plan and €96 plus VAT on renewal. A recurring budget should use the renewal figure.

Does the guide include VAT?

No. Both source price lists state fees plus VAT, and the guide keeps that basis rather than adding a calculation absent from the sources. If you buy as a VAT-registered business, check VAT treatment and deductibility with your adviser. To estimate the debit, add the applicable VAT and any administration charge stated by the provider.

Sources and methodology

How we worked it out

This range is not an average of quotes. The official Aruba and Fatture in Cloud price lists were opened and only their stated annual fees were used, excluding VAT because both sources publish prices that way. The minimum is Aruba’s €29.90-plus-VAT basic renewal. The €96-plus-VAT renewal for Fatture in Cloud’s flat-rate plan is shown separately from its introductory price. The €612-plus-VAT ceiling is its Complete plan. Accountant fees, stamp duty, payment fees and optional modules are excluded because they are not part of every basic subscription.

Why this confidence level

Confidence is high for the quoted subscriptions because both are official provider price lists opened on 17 October 2026. The guide does not claim a market average: the services differ, so it preserves a range and separates renewals from promotions.
