Infinity for Swiss Freelancers:
Is It Worth It?

1. Customizable Invoicing

Infinity shines in its invoicing capabilities. Users can select from a variety of professionally designed templates, adjust VAT preferences, and include QR codes for Swiss banking compliance.

A standout feature is the flexibility to choose whether VAT is added on top of the invoice amount or included in the total—a must-have for freelancers who frequently deal with Swiss tax rules. The QR-bill functionality ensures that your invoices meet official Swiss standards, but setting it up can be unintuitive at first.

The app also allows you to store customer details, attach logos, and add personalized messages to invoices. These small touches can elevate your professionalism and streamline client interactions.

2. AI-Powered Expense Tracking

Infinity’s expense management tools are powered by AI. You can upload receipts, and the app will extract details such as the amount, date, and vendor. During testing, the tool performed well, accurately identifying details from USD invoices and converting them to Swiss francs.

However, the currency conversion process sometimes required manual adjustments, which detracts slightly from its appeal. Categorizing expenses is straightforward, but the lack of predefined categories tailored to freelancers (e.g., software subscriptions, coworking spaces) is a minor inconvenience.

3. VAT Magnament

Swiss freelancers know that VAT reporting is a quarterly chore, and Infinity aims to make it effortless. The app tracks your VAT on income and expenses, calculates your net VAT liability, and prepares reports. For those with more complex VAT needs, such as deductions or varying rates, Infinity handles it seamlessly.

The system is robust and delivers accurate results, making it one of the app’s strongest features.

4. Analytics and Insights

Infinity offers detailed financial analytics, giving users a clear overview of revenues, expenses, and profit margins. The customizable dashboard allows freelancers to tailor data views to their preferences. You can track trends over time, which is particularly useful for freelancers juggling multiple income streams.

However, some users may find the analytics overly complex, especially if their main concern is simply tracking invoices and payments.

5. Project Management

Infinity also includes project management features, which cater more to SMEs and startups than freelancers. While potentially useful for freelancers with large, ongoing projects, most solopreneurs may find this feature unnecessary.

During testing, navigating between finance and project management tools felt clunky, highlighting a disconnect between these functionalities.

Infinity’s pricing starts at CHF 30/month for the basic plan and CHF 45/month for the premium plan. Annual subscriptions reduce the monthly cost slightly.

For freelancers, these prices are competitive but not the cheapest on the market. While the features justify the cost, the absence of a mobile app is a major drawback. Freelancers who rely on mobile tools for invoicing and expense tracking may find Infinity less convenient compared to its competitors.

What Infinity Does Well

• Customizable Invoices: The ability to tailor invoices to your branding is excellent.
• VAT Compliance: Robust tools for Swiss VAT management.
• Modern Design: Clean, professional interface that feels current.

Where It Falls Short

• Complexity for Freelancers: Features like project management may feel excessive.
• No Mobile App: Limited accessibility for on-the-go users.
• Language Switching: While it supports multiple Swiss languages, the functionality to change languages is clunky.
