FreeAgent vs InvoiceBerry (2026): which should you pick?

Pick FreeAgent if

• Fits if you're a UK sole trader or limited company filing with HMRC
• Works for you if you bank with NatWest, RBS, Ulster Bank or Mettle, as it's free with them

Look elsewhere if

• Not for you if you run payroll in the US, as the US edition has none
• Pricey if you only send a few invoices, since there's one $27 plan and nothing smaller
• Skip it if you want unlimited receipt scanning included, as that's $6 a month extra
• Watch out: the advertised price is 50% off the first 6 months, then it renews at $27 a month
• Tight if you bank outside the UK, as the bank feeds page names mainly UK banks and support is UK-based

Pick InvoiceBerry if

• Fits if you invoice up to 35 clients and want it in a browser
• Works for small teams that want 2 to 5 people on one account

Look elsewhere if

• Tight if you have more than 35 clients, because unlimited clients start at $30
• Skip it if you want invoices sent as SMS, since that is on the $45 Ultra plan
• Not for you if you invoice from a phone, as no app is listed
• Watch out: the page doesn't say whether prices exclude tax or whether yearly billing exists

FreeAgent

• The advertised prices are 50% off the first 6 months (or first year, paid annually); it then renews at $27 a month or $270 a year.
• Payroll, Making Tax Digital and HMRC filing belong to the UK edition; the US edition lists sales tax reports but no payroll.
• UK prices depend on business type, excluding VAT: £10 a month for landlords, £19 sole traders, £27 partnerships and £33 limited companies.
• Support comes from accountants based in the UK, and the bank feeds page names mainly UK banks.

InvoiceBerry

• The Solo plan is capped at 35 clients; unlimited clients start at the $30 Pro plan.
• Sending invoices as SMS is only on the $45 Ultra plan.
• The pricing page does not say whether annual billing is available or whether the monthly prices exclude tax.
• The pages read list no mobile apps, so it is recorded as a browser app.
