Paidnice alternatives: five options priced in US dollars

Last reviewed October 31, 2026

Quick answerRaising many invoices a month that are mostly paid quickly? InvoiceSherpa prices invoices open at one time, not new ones. For email-only chasing, Xero's or QuickBooks Online's own reminders cost nothing beyond the plan.

Paidnice alternatives by price and meter

The Paidnice alternatives for a US firm on Xero or QuickBooks Online are InvoiceSherpa, Chaser, Upflow and the reminders built into Xero and QuickBooks Online, and none of them counts what Paidnice counts.

Paidnice Essentials costs $69 a month, billed monthly, for up to 150 new invoices a month. InvoiceSherpa Sole Proprietor is $49 a month on the Monthly view for up to 100 open invoices, plus a 1% transaction fee on all invoices paid, as read on October 31, 2026.

Paidnice's limits: the new-invoice meter, Pro features and text fees

Paidnice counts new invoices raised each month, and quotes and estimates count as invoices; invoices already open when you connect do not use the allowance. InvoiceSherpa counts invoices open at one time, so a firm that raises many invoices that are paid quickly can read high on one meter and low on the other.

Essentials has 2 team members. Sending from your own email domain, payment plans and multi-entity are Pro features, and Pro starts at $99 a month, billed monthly, for up to 300 invoices a month. Each text costs $0.10, so 100 texts add $10 to Essentials: $79 in the month (our arithmetic).

InvoiceSherpa: open invoices, texts and autopay

InvoiceSherpa Sole Proprietor covers up to 100 open invoices at $49 a month on the Monthly view, or $41 a month on the Yearly view, billed as one yearly payment. Small Business, for 101 to 500, is $99 or $83 a month. An open invoice is any unpaid invoice synced from your accounting platform in open or draft status, so drafts count.

SMS reminders are ticked on all three plans. Autopay charges a stored payment method under a rule you set, and a stored method alone does not enroll a customer. Late fees start a set number of days past due.

Chaser and Upflow: revenue bands and quotes

Chaser Compact, on its United States view, is from $259 a month billed monthly, or from $233 a month on the Yearly view, with 4 users. Compact lists SMS with 100 credits a month, extra credits are a paid add-on, and Chaser's 10-day trial leaves out SMS chases.

Upflow Starter is by quote, up to $10M in yearly invoiced revenue, with SMS, calls and letters at usage fees and a yearly commitment on each plan. The InvoiceSherpa alternatives page puts these on one table.

Staying with Xero or QuickBooks Online reminders

Xero sends up to five email reminders, before or after the due date. Xero plans start at Early, $27 a month; its plan card lists 20 invoices without naming a period. Xero says it can also text a customer a link to an approved invoice once the sender has the customer's consent and a payment service is connected. See Xero automatic invoice reminders for the Xero steps.

QuickBooks Online sends up to three email reminders from 90 days before to 90 days after the due date, and Simple Start is $38 a month. A customer with QuickBooks Payments who opted in can get an invoice by text.

Which Paidnice alternative fits which firm

  • InvoiceSherpa for a firm that raises many invoices a month that clear quickly and wants texts, autopay and late fees on an open-invoice meter.
  • Chaser for a firm that accepts a bill set by annual revenue band and wants unlimited users and multi-entity from Core, or Sage and Dynamics 365 connections.
  • Upflow for a firm that accepts a quote and a yearly commitment.
  • Xero or QuickBooks Online reminders for a firm that only needs email nudges.

Moving from Paidnice to InvoiceSherpa can start with its 14-day free trial: no credit card, and at the end you pick a plan and enter card details. The InvoiceSherpa vs Paidnice page compares the two plan by plan.
