Open invoices against new invoices a month

An open invoice is any unpaid invoice synced from your accounting platform in open or draft status. A Paidnice invoice is a new one raised in the month; quotes and estimates count, and invoices already open when you connect do not use the allowance.

A firm with about 300 open invoices and 60 new invoices a month needs InvoiceSherpa Small Business, $99 a month on the Monthly view, plus the 1% fee. Its 60 new invoices fit inside Paidnice Essentials' 150-invoice allowance at $69 a month, billed monthly, but Essentials allows 600 emails a month, so count the reminders you send.

Text reminders, late fees and payment plans

Paidnice Essentials covers email and text reminders, late fees and interest, with texts charged at $0.10 each. Sending from your own email domain and payment plans are Pro features; Pro starts at $99 a month, billed monthly, for up to 300 new invoices a month.

InvoiceSherpa includes SMS reminders, sending from your company domain, late fees and installment plans on all three plans, and a payment plan needs the customer enrolled in autopay. Its pages state no per-text price, so ask what texts cost before you compare the two bills.

Several companies and team members

Each Paidnice plan covers one Xero organization or QuickBooks Online company, extra entities cost $29 a month each on Pro, and Essentials includes up to 2 team members. Paidnice lets accountants and bookkeepers pay for several clients on one account.

InvoiceSherpa gives every plan unlimited user accounts. Approved accountants and bookkeepers can hold a free Trusted Advisor account that manages several client companies, each billed on its own plan; ask which meter applies to a bookkeeper account.

Free start: a 14-day trial or 20 free actions

InvoiceSherpa offers 14 days of the full platform with no credit card, then asks you to pick a plan and enter card details. Paidnice gives the first 20 actions free with no time limit and no credit card, and it has no separate trial period. An action is an email sent, a text sent, a late fee added or an escalation created.

Who should pick InvoiceSherpa and who should pick Paidnice

Pick InvoiceSherpa if you raise many invoices a month but few stay open at once, or if you want unlimited users and every feature on every plan.
