Jurisdiction

Zürich, Switzerland.

An Einzelfirma outside the Commercial Register is the ordinary legal form for a Swiss sole trader below the registration duty, and it is the kind of business Solory is written for. Prices carry no MWST because the operator is below the Swiss VAT registration threshold; if that changes, the prices and the Legal Notice change with it.

The tool started as the back office of a one-person Swiss business, because nothing on the market fitted a sole trader who invoices in Swiss francs, needs a QR-Rechnung on every invoice, and does not want a double-entry accounting package to get one. The clients, invoices and expenses of that business live in the application you sign up to, so a defect in the invoice PDF is a defect in the operator's own invoice.

What that proves is narrow. It proves the daily path holds up: client, invoice, QR-bill, send, payment, receipt, year-end. It does not prove Solory fits your trade, and the operator is below the VAT registration threshold, so the MWST features were tested against the published federal sources rather than against a return he files himself.

There is no sales team to get past and no first-line queue: support mail reaches the person who wrote the code. That is also the risk, because one person is one holiday and one set of opinions.

Swiss-first, not Swiss-localised

The Swiss parts are the middle of the product, not a country setting. The QR-bill is its own detachable page after the invoice, with a QRR reference on a QR-IBAN and an ISO 11649 Creditor Reference on an ordinary IBAN, where a QRR would be wrong. The MWST view prints the gross figure the return asks for beside the net figure the income statement asks for, and bank statements arrive as a camt.053 file from your own bank. The AHV and Säule 3a calculators refuse a year they hold no official figures for.

A calm interface that says why

Where a screen refuses, it says what is missing and what would lift it. An invoice whose QR-bill cannot be drawn lists every missing prerequisite before you download, not just the first. A reference entry your plan does not include is redacted rather than hidden: the title, the canton and the whole source reference stay on screen.

Drafts, never autopilot

The assistant plans, you approve, and only then does anything change. It writes out the steps it proposes before a record is touched, and the plan is validated again on the server after you confirm. It cannot send an email, cannot delete anything, and never computes a figure: every number on a document is calculated in code.

Your data in Switzerland, and the exceptions named

The database and the files are held in Switzerland, in the Zürich region (eu-central-2). The application runs in Frankfurt, mail goes through Mailgun, the AI provider is OpenAI in the United States, and analytics run only with your consent. Each is named in the privacy policy. That everything stays in Switzerland would read better and would not be true.

Every Swiss figure names its source

Each entry in the Swiss reference names the authority, links its page and states the date it was read, and cannot be built at all without that attribution. A figure whose review has lapsed, or whose source page has changed, is withheld. Where two official pages disagree, both readings are recorded and neither is chosen, and the register of questions the research could not answer is published rather than put behind a plan.

• Not double-entry bookkeeping: no chart of accounts, no journal, no ledger, no trial balance.
• No balance sheet. The year-end report is an income statement (Erfolgsrechnung).
• No payroll: no salary run, no Lohnausweis, no wage declaration.
• No bank connection. You import a camt.053 or camt.054 file from your own bank, and only credits carrying an exact structured reference match by themselves.
• No currency conversion. No exchange rates are held, and expenses are CHF only.
• No client login and no card payment in the portal: it is a read-only link to invoices, estimates and documents.
• No filing with any authority, and no legal or tax advice.
• No qualified electronic signature.
• No ISO 27001, no SOC 2, no published penetration test.
• No uptime SLA and no published recovery objectives.
• Not for employees and payroll, for an AG or GmbH that must keep double-entry accounts, or for a team needing more than five seats.

• The operator can open an account to answer a support request or investigate a fault, and that writes a record into your own audit log, which you can read.
• The audit log cannot be edited or deleted, by you or by the operator, because a record that can be quietly amended is evidence of nothing.
• Export everything yourself at any time: a ZIP with one structured JSON document and a README, and any section that could not be read is listed inside it.
• Delete the account yourself, with a 30-day grace period and the limits of erasure stated before you rely on them.
• A public status page whose 90-day uptime bars come from recorded incidents rather than assertion.
• Optional two-factor authentication that is a boundary in the database and reaches the stored files.

Prices are per account per month in Swiss francs, without MWST, because the operator is not VAT-registered. A new account starts on Free with no card and no payment step: Free is a plan, not a trial with a countdown. Estimates and the Swiss QR-bill are on every plan, Free included.

What the paid tiers buy is enforced in the code: contracts with e-signature and automatic payment reminders from Professional, camt import, inventory and instalment plans on Business. AI is metered on every plan, so there is no unlimited tier.

1. 1

   Read the Impressum

   The operator, the address, the legal form, the register status and the VAT status, in five languages, dated.

2. 2

   Read the privacy policy and the DPA

   They name every subprocessor, what it does and where it sits, and state what erasure reaches and what it does not.

3. 3

   Read the status page and the changelog

   The uptime bars come from recorded incidents, and the changelog says what shipped rather than what is planned.
