Pros of Invoice Simple |
|---|---|
| QuickBooks | Invoice Simple is far simpler and far quicker to learn than QuickBooks. For freelancers or solo owners who only need to send invoices and accept payments, Invoice Simple’s mobile-first UI and one-screen workflow make invoicing painless whereas QuickBooks’ full accounting suite can feel heavy, time-consuming, and over-engineered.
For basic branding, read-receipts, and on-the-go invoicing you can get started instantly without bookkeeping setup. |
| Xero | Compared with Xero, Invoice Simple is much more affordable and focused on invoices/estimates rather than full bookkeeping. It’s better for teams who need fast, attractive invoices from a phone and don’t want to configure bank feeds, chart of accounts, or payroll.
If you want minimal setup, fewer features to manage, and predictable low pricing, Invoice Simple wins. |
| Wave | Invoice Simple offers a more polished mobile experience and prettier templates than Wave. Wave is strong as a free accounting tool, but Invoice Simple’s read receipts, easy estimate-to-invoice conversion, photo attachments, and signature capture make client communication and field invoicing smoother for service providers. |
| Invoiced | Invoice Simple is considerably less complex and less expensive for small businesses than Invoiced’s enterprise AR automation.
If you don’t need automated collections, multi-entity billing, or advanced payment routing, Invoice Simple delivers a clean, no-fuss invoicing flow without the enterprise overhead. |
| Zoho Invoice | Invoice Simple is more streamlined for pure invoicing on mobile and often easier to use for non-technical users. While Zoho offers a large ecosystem, Invoice Simple’s UI and feature set (quick templates, read receipts, photo attachments) are more accessible to sole operators who don’t want to navigate an app marketplace or admin console. |
| FreshBooks | Compared to FreshBooks, Invoice Simple is simpler and usually cheaper for very small volumes. FreshBooks adds time-tracking and richer reports, but Invoice Simple’s fast invoice creation, nicer mobile UX, and low-cost tiers make it a better pick if invoicing speed and simplicity matter more than deep accounting features. |

Cons of Invoice Simple |
|---|---|
| QuickBooks | Invoice Simple lacks the full accounting capabilities QuickBooks provides: no robust ledger, payroll, tax prep, inventory management, or deep reporting.
If auditors, accountants, or growing finance needs matter, Invoice Simple’s simpler records and limited integrations can create extra work downstream. Customer reviews often note this limitation when businesses scale. |
| Xero | Versus Xero, Invoice Simple does not support advanced accounting workflows such as bank reconciliation, multi-currency accounting, comprehensive invoicing automation, or ecosystem integrations.
Xero’s customer reviews highlight reliability for accounting teams — something Invoice Simple does not aim to replace. |
| Wave | Invoice Simple charges for higher tiers and limits invoices on lower plans, whereas Wave offers free core invoicing and accounting. For cash-strapped small businesses that need free accounting plus invoicing, Wave can be a better value despite a less polished mobile interface. |
| Invoiced | Invoice Simple lacks enterprise AR features Invoiced provides: dunning sequences, automated collections, payment allocation rules, advanced bank integrations, and high-volume billing controls. For mid-market to enterprise AR teams, Invoice Simple’s feature set and reported support responsiveness are insufficient. |
| Zoho Invoice | Zoho Invoice integrates smoothly into a broader business suite (CRM, Books, Inventory). Invoice Simple’s limited integrations and smaller partner ecosystem mean you’ll either do manual exports or miss automation possibilities that Zoho customers enjoy — reflected in Zoho user reviews praising the ecosystem. |
| FreshBooks | FreshBooks offers time-tracking, richer client/project features, and more detailed reporting. If you bill hourly, need expense capture tied to projects, or want accountant-grade reports, Invoice Simple’s simpler feature set and reported template/rendering issues can be a drawback. Many FreshBooks reviewers cite these advanced billing conveniences that Invoice Simple doesn’t match. |
