InvoiceOcean report card
Fair · out of 4.0 · graded Nov 13, 2026
Best for freelancers who send a few invoices a month
InvoiceOcean issues invoices and records expenses, with a free plan and apps for the web, iPhone and Android. But the free plan stops at 3 invoices a month, reports are not included, and three users means the $18 plan.
Who InvoiceOcean is for
- Fits if you send around 3 invoices a month and want to stay free
- Works for a small shop that wants a warehouse module and bank imports later
Who InvoiceOcean is not for
- Tight if you send more than 3 invoices a month on the free plan
- Skip it if you want reports on the free plan, because they aren't included
- Watch out: recurring invoices and bank imports are Professional, $18 a month
- Watch out: monthly prices on the page are for a 12-month subscription and exclude tax, and Basic allows 1 user

Keep InvoiceOcean, or make your own?
Keep it
The plain part of InvoiceOcean you could make: invoicing, expense tracking, reports and inventory. What surrounds it you could not. The 2 things listed below take a company, not a weekend.
It costs $108 a year.
What you could make
- Invoicing, expense tracking, reports and inventory: an app builder makes these well.
What you could not
- A real app for iOS and Android. Something home-made would be a web page.
- It plugs into other products, PayPal, Stripe and Braintree among them, and has an API.
What this rests on. InvoiceOcean’s listing: what it does, where it runs, what it plugs into and what it costs. It is a judgement about the kind of software this is. We have not built a replacement for it, and making your own means looking after it too. How we decide, and every tool’s verdict.
