## Ways to pay less

- **Save up to 15% with yearly plans** (Annual discount): The pricing page says yearly plans save up to 15% against monthly ones, which come with a 14-day trial. Source: https://www.zervant.com/en/pricing/

## Key features

- **Invoices and estimates:** Create and send invoices and estimates by email or PDF, and turn an accepted estimate into an invoice.
- **E-invoices and postal delivery:** Premium deliveries send an invoice as an e-invoice or by post, with monthly allowances that rise by plan.
- **Time tracking:** Track working hours and transfer tracked time onto an invoice on Pro and Growth.
- **Online payments:** Customers can pay by card or bank from the invoice email, priced per use rather than in the plan.
- **Recurring invoices:** Pro and Growth add recurring invoices, down payments, payment schedules and multiple trade names.
- **Payment reminders:** Send reminders on overdue invoices from the Starter plan up.

## Good for

- Sole traders who only need to invoice customers
- Freelancers who invoice from a phone
- Small firms that must send e-invoices to public bodies

## Worth knowing

- Prices are in euros, excluding VAT, with versions in pounds, kronor and francs; they may differ outside the main European markets.
- This is an invoicing tool; it is not a full bookkeeping ledger.

## Keep it, 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.

- You could make: Invoicing, quotes and estimates, time tracking, expense tracking and reports: an app builder makes these well.
- You could not: A real app for iOS and Android. Something home-made would be a web page.
