The report card
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.
| Subject | Grade | Comment |
|---|---|---|
| Value for money | B | Starter is €9.99 a month billed yearly, inside the cheapest quarter of accounting tools ($15). Pro is €17.99 and Growth €41.99. |
| Free plan and trial | C | Free plan with 5 customers and 5 invoices a month, which a busy sole trader will reach. Paid monthly plans have a 14-day trial. |
| Features | C | Invoices, estimates, e-invoices, post delivery, time tracking, reminders and recurring invoices. It does the invoicing job fully, but invoicing is a smaller job than bookkeeping. |
| Ease of use | C | No store rating on record. You enter your business and customer details first. |
| Platforms and integrations | B | Web plus iPhone and Android apps. No integrations list or API was found. |
An A is worth 4 points, a B 3, a C 2, a D 1 and an F nothing. The GPA is the average of the five.
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 it 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
