The Chift alternative
built for scale.

Chift is an EU-focused unified API for accounting, ERP, e-commerce, POS, invoicing, and payments. Apideck covers the same depth and adds CRM, HRIS, ATS, File Storage, Issue Tracking, and more — with global rather than EU-only coverage.

Apideck publishes pricing publicly and charges per consumer. Chift is currently quote-only — pricing is not publicly listed.

Apideck covers 200+ connectors across 8 categories. Chift covers Accounting, Invoicing, E-commerce, POS, Payments, and PMS.

Days. Apideck provides a public OpenAPI spec, SDKs in Node.js, Python, PHP, .NET, Java, and Go, an API explorer, and live sandbox testing.

When your customers run on-premise accounting software in France, Spain or Belgium. Chift installs a local agent next to Sage 100 FR, Sage 200 ES, Sage 50 FR, EBP, BOB50, a3ERP and Winbooks, and Apideck does not connect to those. Chift also lists around 45 live POS systems and five hotel PMS (Cloudbeds, Mews, Noovy, Oracle OPERA Cloud and Thais), and its coverage of French and Belgian accounting suites goes further than ours. If you would rather not build the integration at all, its Agentic Syncs product builds and runs the sync flows for you. Apideck has a POS API with a limited set of connectors and no PMS API.

No. Apideck does not store third-party data: every read goes to the source system, so you get its current state and your customers' books are not copied to another vendor. For heavy analytical work, load the history into your own database once, then keep it current with webhooks: native webhooks where the system has them, and virtual webhooks, which check each enabled resource every 24 hours by default, where it does not. Chift reads live by default with a cache of up to 5 minutes on GET requests, and offers an opt-in data layer that keeps a synced copy on its own infrastructure.

Apideck lists 58+ live and beta accounting and ERP connectors across 48 countries, 30 of them in Europe, including Exact Online, DATEV, Twinfield, Pennylane and Moneybird alongside QuickBooks, Xero, NetSuite, Sage Intacct and Business Central. Invoices, bills and payments are core resources of the Accounting API. Depth varies by connector, so check the operations you need for each system on the coverage page at apideck.com/integrations/accounting-coverage.
