What It Is

Cabai is an invoicing and business document management SaaS operated by Raspberry Design SRL in Belgium. Positioned as a simple and intuitive “100% Belgian” tool, it targets B2B companies with a valid enterprise number. Its focus is helping users manage quotes, invoices, credit notes, purchase orders, and delivery notes, while preparing in advance for Belgium’s mandatory PEPPOL B2B/B2G e-invoicing requirements starting in 2026.

Core Features and Integrations

The product covers the typical sales invoicing workflow for SMEs: the dashboard shows monthly income, turnover, top customers, and unpaid amounts; the customer module supports contact profiles, multiple delivery addresses, and document history; the invoicing module supports quotes, invoices, credit notes, automatic reminders, and recurring invoices; reports can analyze data by customer, product category, and customer category. Higher-tier plans also include automation rules, pricing rules, service records, purchase orders, and delivery notes. For integrations, Cabai mentions bank connections, Ponto, Flowin/Ibanity PEPPOL access points, Stripe, Matomo, Nextcloud, Mistral, as well as API-based invoice generation/sending and supplier API connections.

Pricing and Trial

Cabai offers a 14-day trial, with subscriptions available monthly or annually. Essentiel costs €4.99/month and is limited to 1 user, 10 quotes/month, and 5 invoices/month. Croissance costs €19.99/month and adds products, unlimited quotes/invoices, recurring invoices, 1 bank connection, and reporting. Élite costs €33.99/month and includes 2 users, quote reminders, purchase orders, services, delivery notes, automation, and pricing rules. Payment methods are credit card and Bancontact, and subscriptions renew automatically.

Security, Compliance, and Service

Its compliance disclosures are relatively detailed: it follows GDPR, stores data mainly in the EU, and describes measures such as HTTPS/TLS, daily backups, access control, environment isolation, and logging. PEPPOL uses Flowin/Ibanity/Isabel Group, while Mistral is used for AI reading of purchase invoices and is stated not to train models. Note that Stripe payments/KYC may involve transfers to the United States. Service levels are also conservative: Cabai does not guarantee 24/7 continuous availability, only committing to restore access for paid users within 2 business days in the event of unavailability.

Pros, Cons, and Who It’s For

The main strengths are strong localization, low pricing, and broad feature coverage, making it especially suitable for Belgian small and micro businesses and service companies preparing for PEPPOL compliance. The drawbacks are the low limits on the basic plan, limited public information on permission controls and API documentation, and the fact that the product is clearly designed around Belgium’s tax system, enterprise numbers, and payment environment.

Access from China and Alternatives

No information is provided about access from mainland China, and the payment methods are not aimed at Chinese users. If Chinese companies need local invoicing, tax-control features, or RMB payments, they should prioritize domestic finance and tax SaaS products. For European operations, alternatives to compare include Odoo, Zoho Invoice, Xero, QuickBooks, Billit, and Exact Online.
