Univents vs Catermonkey in detail
Why teams switch from Catermonkey to Univents
Univents is DACH-first with XRechnung, DATEV and GoBD-compliant accounting plus a German UI and support, whereas Catermonkey is built for the Benelux region (Belgian VAT, Peppol, local suppliers such as Sligro and Hanos, accounting via Yuki, WinBooks or Visma) and offers no DATEV, GoBD or XRechnung features.
Univents includes a full AI assistant (voice memo to event, a connected mail inbox it reads, chat commands, trained on your data), whereas Catermonkey advertises no AI features.
Univents offers real staff and shift scheduling – a dispatch board, automatic staffing suggestions and replacement search – whereas Catermonkey advertises staff only as a simple availability request, without comparable scheduling depth.
With Univents, multilingualism, inventory and integrations are included in the product, whereas Catermonkey charges these as paid add-ons (multilingualism EUR 95, material inventory EUR 20, integrations EUR 19.50/month) on top of the plan.
