Alternatives
Looking for a Invoice Simple alternative?
Here is what to check before you switch, and how InvoiceWren handles a job from the first estimate to the final payment.
Updated
The short answer
InvoiceWren suits jobs that run in stages or change along the way: change orders, progress invoices and a balance explained line by line, with a free plan that is not a trial. If you mainly want card payments built in and expense tracking, Invoice Simple may suit you better.[2]
Four things to check in any Invoice Simple alternative
- 1
Does it count invoices against a monthly limit?
Low-price plans often cap invoices a month. Check how many you send in a busy month.
- 2
Are signatures and deposits on the plan you can afford?
Some apps keep client signatures and deposits for their top plan.
- 3
What happens when the job changes?
If the app has no change orders, extra work ends up in emails and edited invoices.
- 4
Can you bill in stages?
Long jobs need deposit, progress and final invoices that add up.
