Head-to-head

Rakuraku Seisan (楽楽精算) vs TOKIUM (TOKIUM経費精算): which should you choose?

Both are Japanese-market tools, but they bill on different axes, and that decides it. Rakuraku Seisan is flat-rate: cost is stable and independent of activity, which suits mid-sized companies with steady volume and a fixed budget. TOKIUM is volume-based with unlimited accounts, which wins when headcount is high relative to receipt count — and it's the only one of the two that will physically handle your originals. Compliance is the asymmetry to check: Rakuraku Seisan states JIIMA certification and Invoice System support outright, while for TOKIUM we have no sourced compliance flags, so verify that directly against your own 電子帳簿保存法 requirements before deciding.

When to choose Rakuraku Seisan (楽楽精算)

Choose Rakuraku Seisan when you want the domestic default and predictable cost. The flat monthly fee (from ¥30,000, plus a ¥100,000 setup) stops scaling with headcount, JIIMA certification for the Electronic Bookkeeping Act and Invoice System support are built in rather than optional, and it connects to a wide range of Japanese accounting packages.

When to choose TOKIUM (TOKIUM経費精算)

Choose TOKIUM when paper is the actual problem. Accounts are unlimited and pricing follows receipt volume, so a large workforce filing few receipts costs little — and uniquely, you can mail the originals in for digitisation, verification against the originals and storage. Transit-IC claims are free and unlimited.

Frequently asked questions

Which is cheaper for 200 employees?
Neither charges per user, so headcount alone doesn't answer it — you need your monthly receipt count. Rakuraku Seisan is flat from ¥30,000/month; TOKIUM is ¥10,000/month base plus per-receipt charges, so it wins at low volume and converges as volume rises. Both publish detailed rates only on request.
Does TOKIUM support the Electronic Bookkeeping Act?
We have not verified a sourced compliance flag for TOKIUM, so we don't assert one. Given how central 電子帳簿保存法 and the Invoice System are to a Japanese rollout, confirm the current certification status with the vendor directly.
