Billbee vs Picqer

Billbee and Picqer both publish prices for order management, yet they start in different places. Billbee begins at a 9 EUR monthly minimum for up to 200 orders and keeps every function and every user included from day one. Picqer begins at 379 EUR a month for 3,000 orders, but folds the warehouse pick, scanning and carrier labels into the same subscription. The first fits a small seller listing on marketplaces from one desk, and the second fits a Dutch webshop with its own shelves and a picking crew that has outgrown spreadsheets and wants scanners.

Vendors can pay for more visibility on this website, for example a higher place in a ranking or more room on a page. Commercial relationships can also affect which products we feature and how prominently. Every vendor link is marked the same, whatever the arrangement behind it. How that works.

Both are reviewed in full in our order management ranking: Billbee and Picqer.

1. 01

   A 9 EUR floor against a 379 EUR floor

   Billbee's Starter plan costs a minimum of 9 EUR per month net of VAT, covers up to 200 orders and includes unlimited users and all functions. Picqer's entry online store plan, Team, is 379 EUR per month excluding VAT and includes 3,000 orders. The two suit different volumes. A seller with a few hundred orders pays a small fraction of that at Billbee, while a shop with thousands of orders gets a large allowance at Picqer for one fixed fee. For a small seller, Billbee clearly wins.

   Trial length and what happens after

   Billbee runs a 30-day trial that asks for no payment details, restricts no features and ends by itself. There is no permanent free plan, and the 9 EUR monthly minimum applies even with zero imported orders. Picqer lets online stores try it free for 14 days and offers a fulfilment trial account of unstated length. It has no free plan either. The longer, card-free trial at Billbee gives a first-time buyer more time to test marketplace connections.

   Picking, scanning and warehouse routes

   Picqer's home page names purchasing advice, goods receiving, stock tracking across locations including bulk locations, and pick lists with smart routes that batch orders into a single warehouse route. Shipments go out with carriers and label printing, and tracking codes return to the online store. Billbee's material names inventory only through VentoryOne, bundled with its Growth plan, and says nothing of scanner picking. For a team that physically picks orders in-house, Picqer has the clearer answer.

4. 04

   Crossing 200 orders on Billbee

   Billbee's Growth plan applies from 200 orders per month at a price the pricing page leaves out. Starter upgrades automatically after more than 200 billed orders in three consecutive months. Growth includes VentoryOne for inventory and Replyco as a helpdesk at no extra cost, with unlimited users. Billbee does not offer custom enterprise quotes at all. A seller who plans to grow should ask what Growth costs at their volume before committing.

   Depends on the buyer

   Order bands and overage rates at Picqer

   Picqer lists five online store tiers in EUR per month, excluding VAT: Team 379, Business 825, Premium 1,349, Premium+ 2,475 and Enterprise 5,500. They include 3,000 to 75,000 orders, and extra orders cost between 0.28 EUR and 0.055 EUR each. There are no setup fees, and users and stores are unlimited. The cost per order falls as volume rises, which suits a growing shop, though the first step is a real jump.

   Who runs it and what the pages say

   Billbee is run by Billbee GmbH with its seat in Twistetal and describes itself as part of comrce; the imprint does not state the country in words, though our data lists Germany. Picqer's footer shows Picqer B.V., and our data lists the Netherlands, and no owner or self-hosting option appears in what we read. Billbee states 24/7 cloud availability, and Picqer states 99.999 percent uptime over the past year with a live status page.

   Depends on the buyer

Can a seller with 50 orders a month use Billbee?

Yes, the Starter plan covers up to 200 orders and bills a minimum of 9 EUR per month net of VAT. That minimum still applies in a month with no imported orders. Cancelling is monthly with no minimum term.

Does Picqer work for sellers outside the Netherlands and Belgium?

The pages we read list dozens of integrations with online stores, shipping services and support tools, but they do not list carriers by country. Our own notes say carrier and marketplace coverage thins outside the Benelux. Check your carriers against the integration list before paying.

Which one is cheaper once volume reaches several thousand orders?

Picqer states prices for that band: 3,000 orders in Team at 379 EUR, rising to 7,500 in Business at 825 EUR. Billbee shows no Growth price, so a direct comparison needs a quote from the vendor. Billbee also does not offer custom enterprise quotes.
