The nicest invoicing in the category

Automatic late payment reminders cut our average days to payment from about 40 to 22. I did nothing except turn the feature on. For a small consultancy where cash flow is the whole game, that is the entire value of the product in one sentence.

Pros

The client portal keeps every invoice and estimate in one place for the customer.

Cons

Double entry accounting arrived late and some accountants push back on it.

Support is the surprise. A person answers the phone and knows the product. After years of support queues elsewhere I had forgotten that was possible.

Pros

Retainers and deposits work without configuration.

Cons

Reporting is thin compared with a full accounting platform.

Late payment reminders paid for the subscription

Time tracking flows straight into an invoice, which is the workflow every agency actually has. No export, no copying hours across, no arguing about what was billed.

Pros

Time tracking flows directly into an invoice with no export step.

There is no inventory management at all.

The nicest invoicing in the category

Clients comment on the invoices, which has never happened with any other tool I have used. They look professional and paying is one tap. Small thing, real effect.

Pros

The client portal keeps every invoice and estimate in one place for the customer.

Cons

Multi currency is limited and awkward if you bill outside North America.

Perfect for a service business

Automatic late payment reminders cut our average days to payment from about 40 to 22. I did nothing except turn the feature on. For a small consultancy where cash flow is the whole game, that is the entire value of the product in one sentence.

Pros

Automatic late payment reminders measurably shorten the time to payment.

Cons

Reporting is thin compared with a full accounting platform.

No inventory means no fit for us

We started carrying stock and discovered there is no inventory at all. Not thin, absent. That is on me for not checking, but it meant migrating a year of history to something else, which cost us a weekend and a lot of goodwill.

Pros

Cons

Double entry accounting arrived late and some accountants push back on it.

Response from the vendorOct 22, 2024

We appreciate the honest feedback and we are sorry the plan change caught you by surprise. We have passed the point about billable client limits to our pricing team. Please contact support if you would like us to review your account.

Great invoicing, average accounting

As an invoicing tool it is excellent. As accounting software it is adequate. Double entry arrived late and still feels bolted on, and my accountant has opinions about it. If your books are simple that is fine.

Pros

Invoicing is the best in this category and clients notice the difference.

Cons

Multi currency is limited and awkward if you bill outside North America.
