Which one is for you
Pick Invoicely if

- Works for small teams, as Basic has 2 seats and Professional 10
Look elsewhere if
- Tight if you're on Free: 5 invoices, 3 saved clients and PayPal only
- Not for you if you want bank feeds or double-entry bookkeeping, as neither is shown
- Watch out: team seats are none on Free, 2 on Basic, 10 on Professional and 25 on Enterprise
- Pricey if you pay monthly: Basic is $9.99, Professional $19.99 and Enterprise $29.99
Pick Invoicera if
- Fits if you bill by the project, time or contract, with approvals before invoices go out
- Makes sense if you already keep books in QuickBooks or Xero
Look elsewhere if
- Skip it if you want it to replace your accounting software: it is a billing layer
- Pricey if you are one person, since the entry price is $50 a month
- Watch out: add-ons cost extra, a 5-user pack is $20 a month and an extra entity $30
- Watch out: GST and e-invoicing features are for India-registered entities, and India has its own rupee price list
- Tight if you pay monthly, at roughly 20% above the yearly rate

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.
