idimaInvoicing software without subscription – pay once, invoice for good
Almost every invoicing program in Switzerland charges every month – year after year, even if you only send a few invoices. Vidima does the opposite: buy it once, use it for good. No subscription, no surprises – offline by default, and your data stays on your device, with optional end-to-end encrypted sync on Pro & Studio when you want it.

No more monthly fees
Most invoicing programs in Switzerland are cloud services on a subscription: bexio, Smallinvoice and many others charge month after month, year after year – whether you send ten invoices or two. Over the years, that adds up to several times the real value of the tool.
Vidima is a one-time purchase instead of a subscription: you pay once and use the software for good, with all updates within version v1.x included. No account to renew, no price increase next spring.
If you want to invoice and keep your books – compliantly and the Swiss way – you shouldn't have to pay every month to do it.
Offline by default – your data stays on your device
Vidima runs entirely on your computer. There is no account and no forced cloud: your client, revenue and invoice data stay on your device. That isn't only about privacy – it also means you can work offline at any time, without depending on a connection. If you do want your data on more than one machine, Pro & Studio add an optional multi-device sync that is end-to-end encrypted: the key stays on your devices, so not even we can read it.
No account, no tracking, no forced cloud
No sign-up, no tracking. Sync is off by default; turn it on only if you need your devices in step, and even then your data travels as an end-to-end encrypted blob nobody but you can read. You install Vidima and it's yours – like a tool, not like a rental.
Everything a Swiss invoice needs
"No subscription" doesn't mean "fewer features". Vidima covers compliant Swiss invoicing and double-entry accounting:
QR-bill (QR-Bill v2.2)
Compliant Swiss QR codes following the official SIX standard SPC 0200, validated before every PDF export – ready to send.
Swiss VAT (FTA) with multiple rates
All current rates (8.1% / 2.6% / 3.8% / exempt), effective or net tax rate method, with several rates correctly shown on a single invoice.
Cryptographic seal (ECDSA P-256)
Every invoice carries a digital seal your clients can check on verify.vidima.ch to confirm its authenticity – something unique in the Swiss market.
On top of that: unlimited clients and invoices with Swiss validation (postcode, UID, VAT number), payment reminders, credit notes, and camt.053 bank statement import to reconcile payments.
Double-entry accounting
Preloaded Swiss SME chart of accounts, journal, balance sheet and income statement exportable to PDF, with guided migration from Bexio and Banana — included in the licence, with no extra modules and no recurring costs.
A one-time price instead of a subscription
One price, paid once. No monthly subscription, no hidden costs:
| Plan | Vidima (one-time) | Subscription software (typical) |
|---|---|---|
| Personal | CHF 149 once | monthly fee, ongoing |
| Pro | CHF 299 once | higher subscription per month |
| Studio | CHF 990 once | subscription per seat |
| v1.x updates | included forever | only while you pay |
| Where the data lives | on your device | on someone else's servers |
Available on vidima.ch and the Microsoft Store. 30-day free trial, no credit card.
A subscription of CHF 25 a month is CHF 900 over three years – and it keeps going. Vidima Personal costs CHF 149 once, for good. For anyone who simply needs to invoice, it's the calmer choice.
Who Vidima is for
Vidima is built for sole proprietors, the self-employed, freelancers and micro-businesses across Switzerland – for anyone who wants to invoice and keep their books correctly without renting an entire cloud business platform.
If, on the other hand, you need payroll, live e-banking and real-time multi-user work in a single cloud tool, a platform like Bexio is the better choice. Vidima is deliberately a simple invoicing and accounting suite – and that's exactly why it's fast, offline and subscription-free.
