The portfolio is anchored by the Lundify suite and the legacy BL programs (BL Administration, BL Bokslut, BL Skatt), supplemented by time-tracking tools (QBIS, Timekeeper), the BL Byrå collaboration platform, and knowledge products including online courses, books, document templates, and an expert Q&A service.

Direct peers

• Fortnox: Swedish listed cloud-accounting and ERP SaaS provider for SMEs and accounting firms. Fortnox publicly identifies Björn Lundén as a direct local specialist competitor in the Swedish market and competes head-to-head on cloud bookkeeping, invoicing, payroll, and accounting-firm solutions.
• e-conomic (Visma): Danish cloud-accounting SaaS for SMEs and accountants, owned by Visma. e-conomic is a direct peer in Björn Lundén's Danish market after the Eazy Project acquisition, competing on the same SME and accounting-firm segments in Denmark.

Broad incumbents

• Visma: Large Nordic-headquartered business software group offering accounting, payroll, ERP, and HR solutions across the Nordics, Benelux, and the Baltics. Visma competes with Björn Lundén in Sweden and the Netherlands through overlapping accounting and ERP product lines, and is the dominant incumbent in the broader European SMB software market.
• Accountor: Nordic accounting, payroll, and advisory services group with software products for SMEs and accounting firms. Accountor overlaps with Björn Lundén on accounting-firm software, payroll, and ERP across the Nordics, and competes for the same redovisningsbyrå channel.
• Wolters Kluwer CCH Tagetik / Nordic Tax: Global professional information, tax, and accounting software provider with a strong Nordic presence in tax compliance and corporate tax software. Wolters Kluwer competes with Björn Lundén's BL Skatt in the higher-end tax-preparation segment for accounting firms and corporate customers.
• Sage Group: Global SMB accounting, payroll, and ERP software group. Sage competes with Björn Lundén through its Sage Business Cloud Accounting and payroll offerings targeting European SMEs and accountants, although it has limited Swedish-specific localization.
• QuickBooks (Intuit): Global SME cloud-accounting platform owned by Intuit. QuickBooks competes in the broader SMB accounting category but has limited Swedish compliance localization, making it a thematic/global incumbent peer rather than a direct head-to-head competitor.

Emerging players

• Bokio: Swedish cloud-based accounting and invoicing software for sole proprietors and small businesses, with a freemium model. Bokio targets the same SME segment as Björn Lundén's Lundify and competes on ease of use and price, making it a direct emerging challenger in the lower end of the Swedish market.
• Moneyflow: Nordic SMB financial management and accounting platform. Moneyflow is an emerging player in the same SME and accountant-firm segment, often competing for early-stage Swedish and Nordic customers alongside Björn Lundén.

Others

• Svea Bank / Svea Ekonomi: Nordic financial services and business software provider offering invoicing, factoring, and e-commerce financial tools for SMEs. Svea is an adjacent peer that competes in invoicing and financial workflows where Björn Lundén's Lundify also operates.
