Otty's short answer
Facturama sells invoice packs from MX$110 with a yearly validity, which suits a business that issues few invoices. Alegra charges from MX$249 per month plus VAT for unlimited CFDI and adds accounting products. Contalink, from MX$590 per month plus VAT, is built for accountants who run many RFCs. Match the tool to your invoice volume and who keeps your books.

What the table does not show
Three ways to pay
Facturama prices by invoice pack, valid for a year: MX$110 for 25 invoices, MX$165 for 40, MX$1,650 for unlimited. Alegra Facturación runs MX$249, MX$449 or MX$699 per month plus VAT for 1, 2 or 3 users, all with unlimited CFDI. Alegra also sells accounting, POS and ERP plans. Contalink charges MX$590, MX$790 or MX$990 per month plus VAT by number of RFCs and accountant seats. Prices are as shown on each pricing page and exclude VAT where stated.
Who each tool is really for
Facturama and Alegra Facturación suit a business that issues its own invoices. Contalink is sold to accountants: its Start plan covers up to 5 RFCs and its Flex plan up to 100 RFCs per user, with client access at extra cost. We could not confirm CFDI 4.0 wording on any of the three price pages, so ask each vendor to confirm the version before you buy.
What to check against the SAT
The SAT sets what a CFDI must contain, how it is cancelled and which complements apply. We could not load the SAT pages when we checked, so we state none of those rules here. Read the current rules on sat.gob.mx or ask your accountant. Facturama sells the carta porte complement as a separate pack of 25 for MX$1,400, one time.
Where OCTIS fits
OCTIS does not do Mexican invoicing or tax filing. If your Malaysian or Hong Kong company has a Mexican subsidiary issuing CFDI, the sales ledger from the tool you pick still has to be consolidated into the group's books. OCTIS keeps the home company's bookkeeping and tax. Ask about 10–30% off your current bill if you pay someone else for it.
Frequently asked questions
What is the cheapest CFDI software in Mexico?
By headline price, Facturama's MX$110 pack for 25 invoices is the lowest in this comparison. For frequent invoicing, Alegra at MX$249 per month plus VAT gives unlimited invoices, and Facturama's unlimited pack is MX$1,650 per year.
Do these prices include VAT?
Alegra and Contalink show prices before VAT (IVA), so add 16% VAT. Facturama's page does not say whether its prices include VAT, so check the checkout total before you pay.
Is Contalink for freelancers or small shops?
Mostly not. Its plans are priced by RFC and accountant seats, with 5 RFCs in Start. A single business that only needs to issue invoices will usually pay less with Facturama or Alegra Facturación.
Can I try them first?
Facturama offers a 30-day trial with 15 invoices. Alegra offers 15 days free with no card and no long-term contract. Contalink's pricing page does not state a trial, so ask the vendor.
