| Pricing | $9.99/month (Basic: 100 invoices/month, 25 clients, up to 2 team members) · free tier: $0/month: 5 invoices per month, 3 saved clients, no team members, PayPal-only online payments, limited branding, branded-only PDFs, 100 emails/month, max 10 saved items; no credit card required | Pay by Bank (ACH) 1% with a $10 fee cap per invoice payment · free tier: Invoicing itself is free — no monthly fee and no per-invoice fee; included with any PayPal account |
| Pricing model | Freemium subscription | Usage-based (per-transaction, no subscription) |
| Best for | Solo freelancers, contractors and micro-businesses issuing low invoice volumes who want branded invoices, estimates and time/mileage tracking under $20/month, especially those running more than one business entity from one login. | Solo freelancers, contractors and micro-businesses billing modest monthly volume — especially those with international clients — who value zero fixed cost and payer convenience over rate optimisation, and who already accept PayPal. |
| Avoid if | Invoicing is mission-critical daily, you need phone or live-chat support, you require certainty over cancellation and stored-card removal, you need full accounting or verified e-invoicing compliance, or your team exceeds 25 people. | You issue high-value invoices where percentage fees dwarf a SaaS subscription, cannot survive a cash-flow interruption of up to 180 days, operate in a higher-risk category, or need full double-entry accounting, multi-entity support or approval workflows. |

A higher TOP SCORE means more of the evidence favours that platform on this methodology — it is not a recommendation, and it does not account for your specific requirements. Advertisers are never declared the winner of a comparison.
