TrueProfit vs. NorthProfit: the honest comparison for German shops (2026)
Compare profit analytics, data sources and the DACH tax advisor workflow using current product documentation. NorthProfit details refer to the documented status in its own product.
In short: both offerings address profit analytics. At NorthProfit, DATEV account and format checks, OSS reports and invoicing functions are part of the documented DACH workflow. Which functions TrueProfit currently offers you must check in its product documentation; scope and plans can change.
What both tools have in common
For both offerings, check how the following basics are implemented for your data sources:
- Profit definition and the cost types taken into account.
- Supported shops, advertising and payment sources.
- Freshness, sync intervals and data coverage.
- COGS history, returns and the handling of missing data.
Where TrueProfit is strong (honestly)
TrueProfit positions itself as a profit analytics offering. Assess its current suitability through a trial and the official documentation, especially regarding:
- the data sources and regions relevant to you,
- the desired profit and attribution logic,
- support, exports, limits and the current plan.
Where the break occurs for DACH merchants
For a DACH workflow, regardless of the analytics vendor, you should additionally check:
- DATEV account and format review with the tax advisor.
- OSS report; NorthProfit produces no filing.
- Invoices, credit notes and e-invoice formats.
- Language, currency, support and data processing.
TrueProfit vs. NorthProfit: feature comparison
- NorthProfit: profit analysis according to existing data coverage.
- NorthProfit: DATEV account and format review; no direct DATEV transfer.
- NorthProfit: OSS report; no filing.
- NorthProfit: invoices and ZUGFeRD export.
- NorthProfit: available shop connections on the integrations page.
- NorthProfit: TikTok Shop available for shops in Germany.
- TrueProfit: check current functional scope, integrations, limits and price directly with the vendor.
For the cost comparison use your actual vendor invoices. Also take into account functions you keep running separately and the effort for data reconciliation and tax advisor review.
What NorthProfit costs
For transparency: NorthProfit is available from €49 (Starter), €99 (Growth), €249 (Pro) and €499 (Scale) per month, 14 days free, no setup fee. The comparison point is not “€49 vs. the TrueProfit plan” but “one tool for analytics + accounting vs. two separate subscriptions plus reconciliation time”.
