Cofactu vs Factusol
from Windows 2005 to the cloud in 2027.
Factusol is an honest classic: 15 years free, a huge installed base, and a 4.9 on Capterra. But it's still a desktop Windows product with the cloud as an add-on, support level sets what you pay (€19.50 → €46.50/month depending on channel), and the suite is split across 4 separate programs. Comparison with linked sources (June 2026).

The Factusol experience has already
left a public trail.
These quotes and patterns come from the sources indicated. They are shown with context and a link so you can check the full origin.
- 01 La Tienda del TPV · business model change analysis (documented paraphrase) “FactuSOL was completely free for 15 years. Since 2021 it has become subscription software with no perpetual option: after the trial period you must sign up for one of the paid tiers.”
- 02 Verifacturamos · Factusol reviews and alternatives 2026 (documented paraphrase) “Although an online version exists, the web experience isn't as smooth as cloud-native alternatives. There's no direct WhatsApp sending or automatic accountant sync, and Shopify/WooCommerce integration isn't native.”
- 03 Capterra · FACTUSOL reviews (synthesis of verified reviews) “The interface is fairly basic in design… having so many functions (inventory, purchasing, warehouse) makes it more complex than an invoicing-only program and can be a learning curve for anyone not used to an ERP.”
- 04 La Tienda del TPV · Factusol Cloud tiers (public pricing) “Factusol Cloud: digital support from €19.50/month, email support from €30.50/month, and phone support from €46.50/month — the support channel is what sets the price.”
The difference shows when you
compare the whole job.
It is not enough that a feature exists. What matters is its scope, the context it keeps and what happens before and after.

Answers on scope, data, prices and continuity before you decide.
See migration from Factusol →Wasn't Factusol free?
It was, for 15 years, which is why it has such a huge installed base. Since 2021 it's subscription-only with no perpetual option: after the 30-day trial you have to sign up for a paid tier. If you've been on free Factusol for years and now have to pay anyway to comply with VeriFactu, it's a good moment to compare what those euros actually get you in 2026.
Does Factusol comply with VeriFactu?
Yes — Software DELSOL filed its responsible declaration and Factusol generates VeriFactu records (April 2026). We're tied on that. The difference is in the layer on top: Cofactu catalogs AEAT errors in plain language, detects broken hash chains (error 4171) and repairs them in 1 click, and warns you T-90/T-30/T-7 before certificates and powers of attorney expire.
I work on Mac. Can I use Factusol?
Factusol is Windows desktop software; on Mac you need the Cloud version (from €19.50/month), which comparisons themselves describe as less smooth than cloud-native alternatives. Cofactu has been a web app from the start: the same full product on Mac, Windows, Linux, or iPad.
I already do accounting in Contasol. How do I migrate?
Cofactu has a native Contasol accounting importer (alongside A3 and Sage): bring in your chart of accounts, journal entries, and balances. Factusol invoicing comes in via Excel export. Step-by-step guide at <a href="/en/migrate/factusol" class="text-primary hover:underline">/migrate/factusol</a>.
Where is Factusol honestly better?
Three things: its Capterra rating (4.9/5) is excellent and reflects a mature desktop product; desktop ERP granularity (price lists, offers, warehouses) has 20 years of iteration behind it; and if you work 100% offline on a Windows PC, the desktop model gives you full local control. If that's exactly what you need and the split suite doesn't bother you, Factusol is a solid choice.
