Invoices in Brazil (nota fiscal)

NFE.io vs Focus NFe vs eNotas

NFE.io, Focus NFe, eNotas side by side: price, free tier, what matters in Brazil, who each one fits and when to skip it.

Item	NFE.io	Focus NFe	eNotas
What it does	API to issue Brazilian service and product invoices (NFS-e, NF-e and NFC-e) automatically from your app.	Invoicing API that covers almost every Brazilian tax document: NFS-e, NF-e, NFC-e, CT-e, MDF-e and more.	Issues service and product invoices automatically from your sales, with a native Hotmart integration; its own API only on the Business plan and up.
Best for	B2B SaaS that bills customers across Brazil and needs every paid invoice to become an NFS-e through the API, with a sandbox to test.	SaaS that issues invoices on behalf of its own customers' companies, thanks to cheap extra CNPJs and unlimited ones on Growth.	Founder selling a course or digital product on Hotmart alongside the SaaS who wants every sale invoiced without touching code.
Skip it if	You issue a few dozen invoices a month, since the cheapest plan is annual at R$1,075 for 100 invoices a month.	You want a no-code panel that issues invoices from Hotmart or Kiwify sales, since Focus is built to be used through the API.	You need invoices in a small town, since coverage is a few hundred cities, so check yours on the list first.
Setup	Needs a developer. A few days to integrate; city hall registration and buying the certificate can take another week or two.	Needs a developer. A few days of development; add the time to get the certificate and city hall authorization if you don't have them.	No code. An hour to set up if you already have the certificate and city hall login; otherwise add the time to get them.
Price	From R$190/month (250 invoices) or R$1,075/year (100/month)	From R$94.90/month (100 documents, then R$0.11 each)	From R$137/month (60 invoices, then R$0.77 each)
What it costs in practice	Estimate for a SaaS with 200 paying customers, one invoice each per month: the monthly Base plan is R$190 (250 invoices), or R$1,825 a year (about R$152/month) on the annual Base. Add the A1 certificate, bought separately each year.	Estimate for a SaaS issuing 200 NFS-e a month for its own CNPJ: Solo at R$94.90 covers 100, plus 100 × R$0.11 = R$11, so about R$106/month. Add the yearly A1 certificate.	Estimate for 200 invoices a month: Basic is R$137 + 140 extra × R$0.77 ≈ R$245/month, while Plus is R$257 with 500 included, so Plus is the better pick. Add the yearly A1 certificate.
Free plan	No free plan; there's a sandbox for developers.	No free plan; 30-day free trial.	No free plan; 30-day money-back guarantee.
Price	R$190/month for 250 invoices	R$94.90/month for 100 docs	R$137/month for 60 invoices

Before you build	In production the city hall requires a digital signature, so an A1 certificate (.pfx file) becomes mandatory. Without the municipal registration, NFE.io can't issue on your behalf, and getting authorized at the city hall is on you. Not every city works the same way. The docs tell you to check whether your city hall is served, and the API returns a status saying if that city's integration is certified. The cheapest plan (100 invoices a month) is annual only, at R$1,075 a year. Monthly plans start at R$190 for 250 invoices, and the pricing page doesn't show the price per invoice above the limit.	Focus only accepts A1 certificates (e-CNPJ or e-CPF). A3 tokens and cards don't work, because its servers run in the cloud. It covers more than 3,500 city halls, not every city in Brazil. Check that yours (and your customers', if you issue for them) is on the list before building. The Solo plan covers a single CNPJ. Issuing for several companies means the Start plan with 3 CNPJs and R$39.90 for each extra, or Growth at R$572/month for unlimited.	Your own API integration only comes with Business (R$737/month) and Enterprise. Basic, Plus and Pro work through the ready-made integrations. Each subscription covers one CNPJ. A second company means a second subscription. Only an A1 certificate works with the automation, and eNotas covers hundreds of city halls, not all. Check your city before paying. Invoices above the plan are billed the next month, at R$0.77 each on Basic. The 30-day refund guarantee ends after that, with no refund on cancellation.
