Best for invoices and estimates for sole traders
Zervant is invoicing and estimates for sole traders, with a free plan, a mobile app and plans from €9.99 a month on yearly billing. The free plan stops at 5 customers and 5 invoices a month, card payments carry fees, and it is not a bookkeeping ledger.
Who Zervant is for
- Fits if you are a sole trader who sends a few invoices a month
- Works for someone who wants estimates turned into invoices from a phone
Who Zervant is not for
- Too light for bookkeeping: it is an invoicing tool with no ledger
- Tight if you stay free, with 5 customers and 5 invoices a month, and 30 customers on Starter
- Watch out: card payments cost 1.9% + €0.25 per invoice for European cards, and bank payments €0.99 plus VAT
- Watch out: recurring invoices and bank connection start at Pro, and prices are in euros excluding VAT

Keep Zervant, or make your own?
Keep it
The plain part of Zervant you could make: invoicing, quotes and estimates, time tracking, expense tracking and reports. What surrounds it you could not. The 1 things listed below take a company, not a weekend.
It costs $133.93 a year.
What you could make
- Invoicing, quotes and estimates, time tracking, expense tracking and reports: 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.
What this rests on. Zervant’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.
