Why teams switch from Ktering to Univents
Ktering stops at the invoice. Univents keeps planning from there: staff and shifts with time tracking, production and packing lists, kitchen monitor, function sheets, inventory and supplier orders — none of which Ktering advertises.
Univents is built for caterers, venues, agencies and hotels, while Ktering targets catering, party-service and banqueting businesses. Anyone running several business models under one roof needs a second system alongside Ktering.
Univents costs considerably less for the same scope: the Quotes plan covers quoting, signature and invoicing and can be cancelled monthly — comparable features at Ktering start at €149/month plus a setup fee, a 6-month minimum term and 3 months' notice.
Univents ships an AI assistant that operates the whole app by chat, builds quotes from PDFs and reads your connected mail inbox. Ktering advertises a rules engine, but no AI assistant.
Pricing compared
7-day free trial, no credit card. Then from €55/month for quotes or from €299/month for the full platform — fair and transparent.
Public tiers: Starter €149/month (1 user), Team €199/month (2 users), Multi-Location from €250/month (up to 5 users, €50/month per extra user). Plus a one-off €400–600 setup fee, optionally €1,200 for a landing page; 6-month minimum term with 3 months' notice.
FAQ: Univents vs Ktering
Is Ktering a good Univents alternative?
For businesses that only take enquiries, write calculated quotes and issue invoices, Ktering is a clean German option with ZUGFeRD and DATEV export. As soon as staff scheduling, production, a kitchen monitor, function sheets or inventory come into play, its scope ends — that is where Univents starts.
What does Ktering cost?
Ktering lists three plans: Starter at €149/month for one user, Team at €199/month for two users and Multi-Location from €250/month for up to five users. On top of that come a one-off €400–600 setup fee and optionally €1,200 for a landing page, with a 6-month minimum term and 3 months' notice.
Does Ktering offer staff scheduling and production lists?
Its public website advertises neither shift and staff scheduling nor production or packing lists, kitchen monitor, function sheets or inventory. Ktering describes its own scope as the path from the first email to the paid invoice.
Does Ktering meet German invoicing requirements?
Yes — Ktering advertises ZUGFeRD-compliant e-invoices and exports to DATEV, lexoffice and sevDesk. Univents covers the same ground and adds the entire operation that follows order confirmation.
