Leaving Basecone? Six alternatives side by side, and which one posts to Exact Online by itself

Anyone looking beyond Basecone first wants to know which way to go. This guide puts six options side by side: what they cost according to their own site, who they are made for and how they work with Exact Online. Glimps is first, because it does not just read your purchase invoice, it also posts it by itself. You can try it with your own invoices today.

Why teams search

  • According to their own knowledge base (22 December 2025), automatic posting runs on conditions you set in advance per customer or supplier, with a document type and an amount.
  • According to their explanation of the booking proposal (13 February 2026), you enter the invoice description manually in most cases, or have it filled by a booking rule.
  • You pay per posted invoice: 0.35 euro according to the Wolters Kluwer pricing page, plus 4.95 euro per approver per month.

The short answer

If your company does its own books in Exact Online, pick Glimps. It takes your purchase invoices out of the mailbox, codes them based on what you posted before and puts them into Exact itself, without conditions you set up first. You can try it today, from 75 euro per month. If you would rather leave the processing with your accounting firm, Basecone is the usual route, and if you work with several accounting packages, look at Zenvoices or TriFact365.

Choose Glimps if

you post in Exact Online yourself and no longer want to maintain conditions per supplier.

Stay with Basecone if

your accountant does the processing for you and that should stay that way.

You decide per supplier how far Glimps posts by itself, and eight checks stop a posting the moment something is off. How that works

Six options, one question: who does the work?

Every tool on this list reads invoices. The difference is what happens next. At Glimps the invoice runs all the way into Exact Online: coded from your own posting history, matched with your purchase order and posted, without you first setting anything up per supplier. How the other options do that, you read on their own site: the sources are at the bottom of this page.

Made for whoever posts in Exact Online themselves

Basecone is widely used by accounting firms. Glimps is there for the company that processes its own purchase invoices. Suppliers, GL accounts, VAT codes, cost centres and purchase orders come from your own Exact administration, and your accountant looks along there as always.

Decision checklist

How do you choose the right alternative?

  • Does the tool post the invoice to Exact Online by itself, or does it only prepare a proposal?
  • What do you have to set up per supplier or per invoice type before it goes automatic?
  • What happens when the tool is not sure: does it guess, or does it stop and ask you?
  • How fast is your first real invoice processed, and can you start on your own without a demo?
  • Is the price public on the site, including add-ons and one-off costs?
  • Does the tool pick invoices up from your mailbox by itself, or does someone have to forward them?

Open the demo

Two things stand out in Basecone's own documentation. According to the knowledge base (22 December 2025), automatic posting runs on conditions you set in advance per customer or supplier. And according to their explanation (13 February 2026), you usually type the invoice description yourself, unless a booking rule fills it. Whoever wants to lose that work looks further.

If a firm processes the invoices for its clients, Basecone remains a logical place for that, and with clients in different packages TriFact365 or Zenvoices fit. If your company posts its own purchase invoices in Exact Online, Glimps is made for you: it posts them by itself in your own administration, and your accountant simply looks along there.

Glimps Professional costs 149 euro per month for 300 invoices, excluding VAT. It includes the Exact Online connection, the Inbox Agent that picks invoices out of your Microsoft 365 mailbox itself, line-level coding, approval flows with 3 approvers, the audit trail, Luca and the MCP server. PO matching is an add-on of 149 euro per month. You pay no implementation fee and cancel monthly. The price of Basecone is on their own pricing page, linked under Sources.

Glimps is built only for Exact Online. TriFact365 works with Exact Online and other packages, such as AFAS, Twinfield and SnelStart. Zenvoices works with Exact Online, AFAS, Twinfield and other packages. Basecone works with Exact Online, among others. Doxis SpendControl connects to accounting and ERP systems through an add-on. Blue10 works with Exact Online and other accounting packages. WhiteVision works with Exact Online, Exact Online Bouw and Exact Globe, next to other systems. Precisely because Glimps focuses on one package, it can post in it by itself.

Everything already posted is in Exact Online and simply stays there. For the scans and the archive in Basecone, ask Wolters Kluwer which export they offer. Glimps starts from what is already in your Exact administration, so nothing needs to be moved.

Yes. In Glimps a new supplier first waits for you, so during that month you decide which invoices go into Exact Online through Glimps and which still run through Basecone. If you first only want to see what Glimps would pick up, put the Inbox Agent in look-only mode.

You start today. You connect Exact Online yourself, without a demo or an implementation project, and within minutes you see your first invoice processed. Then connect your Microsoft 365 mailbox to the Inbox Agent, and nobody has to forward invoices any more.

No. You cancel Glimps per month, and you pay no implementation fee. If you choose a year you get 10% off, but you do not have to.

No. You do not have to rebuild the conditions you had set per supplier in Basecone. Glimps takes your suppliers and your posting history from Exact Online and proposes GL account, VAT and cost centre per line the way you posted that supplier before.

Glimps does that with the Inbox Agent, on every plan. After connecting your Microsoft 365 mailbox once, even a reminder with the invoice attached arrives by itself. If you use another mail system, you get your own invoice address.
