Exact has deep Benelux compliance (Dutch tax rules, VAT reporting, iDEAL integration). NeoDonkey doesn't have local compliance built-in. If you're a Dutch SME that needs local tax compliance out of the box, Exact is better. If you're comfortable configuring tax rules yourself and want zero cost, NeoDonkey works.
Yes. Export your chart of accounts, customer/supplier lists, and open transactions from Exact as CSV. Import them into NeoDonkey. Historical data can be preserved as signed git commits for audit purposes.
