2026 comparison
allwr vs DATEV
What DATEV does, where it shines, where it falls short and what allwr adds. Comparison for your country.
German cooperative of tax advisors (Nuremberg) whose accounting, tax and payroll software is the national standard. SMEs reach it through their Steuerberater, not through direct sales.
DATEV strengths
- De facto standard: the DATEV interface is the one every other tool must support
- Leading payroll in Germany, around 14.5 million payslips a month
- Impeccable compliance: GoBD, ELSTER, E-Rechnung, ELStAM, SV-Meldungen
- Employee portal (Arbeitnehmer online) and documents via Unternehmen online
Where it falls short
- Not an ERP and not sold directly to the company: the client lives inside the advisor's stack
- Legacy user experience and opaque per-module pricing
- No clock-in, talent or HR beyond payroll; partners fill the gap
- No real-time bank, CRM, business documents or personal side
