What is the actual difference?
The reason I'm asking is that I bought an inward-opening front door, but it is very similar to an outward-opening one. The door has the same pattern/grooving on both sides, and the hinges are on the "swing side," so the outside of the door is not flush with the frame, but slightly inside the frame, like the inside of an outward-opening door.
How should an inward-opening front door look? Like an outward-opening one from the outside but with a different opening direction?
Did I get an outward-opening door - see picture taken from the outside..

I think the door looks good.
What would be the problem, do you mean?
It is clear that the frame is thicker on the side where the door does not open towards.
The frame receives (and seals) when the door is closed, whether it is opened/closed from the outside or inside.

The problem is that I can't see the difference between an inward and an outward opening front door (at least not the one I ordered where the door looks the same on both the inside and outside). The only thing I can see that differs is the threshold, but I don't know if the aluminum strip should be inside or outside.
That is, they might as well have sent a left-hung front door but charged for an inward opening (+1295kr) one. Because when I place it, it looks like a reversed outward opening front door.
So what is the difference really? I thought the inward opening front door would look the same as the outward opening one, at least from the outside.

Hmmm.......relatively unusual in Sweden with an inward-opening front door. Nice in my opinion 
"Sparse" to say, such a door is simply reversed. As you say, the threshold may be designed differently (worth 1200 SEK??).
One can imagine that an inward-opening door should have sealing strips as far out as possible, which would then require a profile that "sits on top of" the door leaf, from the outside.
Surely there are others here on BH who can clarify this further.

It's very rare actually, except possibly in some stores. Really difficult to find someone who had it in stock. We will have it in a basement, so inward-opening due to space reasons (to not block the basement passage).
But is it usually an aluminum threshold outward and the wooden part inward? Looks almost a bit awkward...

The difference might be where the karmskruvar are located. If they were on the outside, it would feel wrong
Could they have covered the screw holes with a bent metal sheet on a regular outward-opening frame, or is the frame entirely painted wood on the outside?

The front door of small houses that serves as an escape route (which is probably most of them) should open outwards. I think it looks like the door is reversed (and hung incorrectly).
