Which one is for you

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

Pick Zoho Invoice if

  • Fits if you're a freelancer sending fewer than 500 invoices a year
  • Works for teams already on Zoho CRM or Zoho Books

Look elsewhere if

  • Too light for keeping the books, as it's invoicing only and hands that job to Zoho Books or QuickBooks
  • Tight if you track time on more than 3 projects or need more than 2 users, since those are the caps
  • Not for you if you only invoice now and then, as an account idle for 180 days gets deleted
  • Tight if you send more than 500 invoices a year, as there's no paid plan to move up to
  • Watch out: every invoice carries Powered by Zoho Invoice, and Zoho points larger needs to Zoho Billing

How this page was made

  • The verdict at the top follows a fixed rule. When both tools are in the same category and either is in our top three for it, the verdict follows that ranking: the higher-placed tool is our pick. The top three weigh who each tool suits as well as its grades, so a pick can go against the GPA. Otherwise the page does not pick one and says which grades higher: the higher GPA first; on a tie, the one with a free plan, then the one that starts cheaper in dollars a month, counted the same way for both; if they are still level, what the choice depends on.
  • The grades are our own, from each tool’s review or report card. The GPA is their average.
  • Prices, plans and platforms come from each tool’s listing. The table above says where each price was read and when.
  • The differences and the answers to the questions are worked out from those listings.
