Zervant
Create, send, and track professional business invoices.
Updated July 29, 2026
Zervant Overview
Zervant is a business invoicing software designed to help freelancers and small business owners manage their billing tasks with ease. It allows users to create professional invoices, send them directly to clients, and track payments efficiently.
The Finnish company has been trading under the name Zervant by Shine since October 2025, after Shine took the product on. Accounts and pricing did not change, but system and invoicing emails now come from shine.co, the mobile app carries the new name, and clients see Shine in the recipient portal.
The software also supports recurring invoices, expense tracking, and reporting features, which provide better financial visibility. With its user-friendly design, Zervant streamlines invoicing and helps businesses save valuable time.

Pros
| Competitor | Pros of Zervant |
|---|---|
| Invoice2go | Zervant has a genuine free plan rather than a trial, with estimates, time tracking and the mobile app included. Invoice2go is subscription only. The interface is simpler for owners who do not need advanced tools, and the paid tiers are clearly laid out. |
| QuickBooks | Zervant is quicker to set up than QuickBooks, which takes more time to learn. It stays on invoicing and payments instead of pulling users into accounting tasks they may not need, and the entry paid plan is €11.99 a month, or €9.99 billed annually. |
| FreshBooks | FreshBooks has no free tier at all. For someone who only wants invoicing rather than full accounting, Zervant costs less and the streamlined interface gets an invoice out without detouring through bookkeeping or project management. |
| Zoho Invoice | Zervant sends invoices as e-invoices or by post, which Zoho Invoice does not do, and paid plans include a yearly allowance of those premium deliveries. Time tracking feeds straight onto an invoice on the Pro plan, which suits freelancers billing by the hour. |
Cons
| Competitor | Cons of Zervant |
|---|---|
| Invoice2go | Zervant lacks some of Invoice2go’s customization options for invoice templates and branding. It also offers fewer integrations with other business tools, which limits flexibility for growing businesses. |
| QuickBooks | Zervant does not include full accounting features, payroll, or advanced reporting that QuickBooks provides. Businesses that want an all-in-one financial management system may find Zervant too limited. |
| FreshBooks | Zervant has fewer features for project tracking, expense management, and client collaboration compared to FreshBooks. It also has a smaller support network and fewer integration options. |
| Zoho Invoice | Zoho Invoice is free outright and available in more regions, while Zervant charges for most of the useful functions and caps the free plan at 5 customers and 5 invoices a month. Zervant’s customer base is smaller too, so there are fewer peers to learn from. |
| Currency and tax | Prices are quoted in euros, pounds, kronor or francs, with no US dollar option, and they exclude VAT. Buyers who are not VAT registered in their own country are charged the Finnish rate of 25.5% on top. Online card and bank payments are billed per use as well, so the plan fee is not the whole cost. |
Reviews
- Trustpilot Review (Rating: 4.5/5 from 3,018 reviews): 207 reviews landed in the past year. An electrical contractor wrote: “I Have Been using Zervant for 11 years now and have found it to be super easy to use, reliable and their customer service was local and spot on.” The unhappy end is specific rather than vague. One reviewer in February 2026 described “difficulties for a third day in a row” delaying invoices to clients, said support went back and forth without improving anything, and was pricing up Xero as a replacement.
- Capterra Review (Rating: 4.6/5 from 49 reviews): An e-learning business owner titled their five-star review “A solid paltform that makes my life easy” and liked writing detailed invoices quickly. A marketing CEO called it “Useful and easy to use software” with a simple interface and Gmail login, but found automatic invoicing hard to locate and wanted a heads-up before recurring invoices go out. The three-star review, headed “Paying for functionality that doesn’t work,” describes paying a yearly fee for bank connection and automatic payment status updates, finding it did not work, and being refused a refund four months on. A German reviewer’s only complaint was the five-customer limit on the free plan.
- Software Advice Review: Sign-up is quick, and one user noted they went “from sign up to invoiced within minutes.” Being able to download invoices or send them straight from the system suits day-to-day billing. Software Advice draws on the same review pool as Capterra, so its 4.6 score is the same 49 reviews rather than a second opinion.
- softwarefinder.com Review (Rating: 4.4/5 from 23 reviews): Ease of use and value for money both score 9 out of 10, while customer support and functionality each score 8. The spread is 57% five-star and 30% four-star, with 4% at two stars and none at one.
