Alternatives to the invoicing tools you already looked at
Thirteen competitors, their own published prices, and what each one caps or brands along the way.
| Alternative to | What it costs | The catch |
|---|---|---|
| BillingHub — 25 invoices | USD 25.00 once | None. Credits never expire, and a month you don't invoice costs nothing. |
| Billdu | $7.99–$27.99 a month, tiered by how many clients you have | The two cheaper plans are priced by how many clients you have, not by how many invoices you send. |
| Bonsai | $15–$39 a month, per user | Every plan is billed per user, so a business of one still pays the per-seat rate for the one seat it has. |
| Bookipi | Free, then $9.99–$52 a month — their page shows $7.60–$39 by default, the annually-billed rate | The figure in the monthly-price slot on their own pricing page is the annual rate; the true month-to-month price isn't part of the default view. |
| FreshBooks | $23 / month — $276 a year | Capped at 5 billable clients. Each extra user is $11 a month. |
| Harvest | Free — but not by signing up for it | The free plan exists, but Harvest's own FAQ says you reach it only during the upgrade process, after a 30-day trial. |
| Invoice Ninja | Free (5 clients), or $14 a month for Pro | The free plan prints “Created by Invoice Ninja” in the body of every document it sends, and removing it is what Pro sells. |
| Invoice Simple | $14.99 / month — $179.88 a year | 10 invoices a month on Plus; Essentials, the cheapest paid plan at $6.99, caps you at 3. |
| QuickBooks Online | $38–$140 a month, and it went up again on 1 August 2026 | Three price increases in two years, and no plan is exempt from the next one. |
| Square Invoices | Free, plus 3.3% + 30¢ per card payment | Square supports no multi-currency at all — it charges in your own country’s currency and converts nothing. |
| Stripe Invoicing | 0.4% of every paid invoice | Scales with the invoice, not the work: $9.60 on a single $2,400 bill. |
| Wave | Free, or $19 a month for Pro | The Wave logo prints on your invoice, and card payments cost 2.9% + $0.60. |
| Xero | $25–$90 a month, and rising again on 1 October 2026 | Early caps you at 20 invoices a month — a ceiling below what the plan needs to ever reach a dollar each. |
| Zoho Invoice | Free | Base currency only, and Zoho’s own branding on every invoice. |
