abas has deep German compliance (GoBD, DATEV integration, local tax rules) and manufacturing expertise. NeoDonkey doesn't have German compliance built-in. If you're a German SME manufacturer, abas is the safer choice. If you're elsewhere or want zero cost, NeoDonkey works.
Yes, but you'll need to configure German tax rules and compliance yourself. abas has this built-in. For German companies without manufacturing needs, NeoDonkey is viable but requires more setup.
