Zoho Invoice is the perfect invoicing solution for freelancers

Reviewed on 17/05/2023

My experience with Zoho Invoice has been great. I used to use Wave to invoice clients for years....

My experience with Zoho Invoice has been great. I used to use Wave to invoice clients for years. But then they changed to only be available for US and Canadian customers. After that I then tried a number of other invoicing software and settled on Zoho Invoice. For freelancers and small businesses it is the perfect option, and completely free! It makes it quick and easy to add new customers, invoice them, and also keep track of outstanding payments.

Pros

I love that Zoho Invoice software is free to use, and also integrates Stripe to allow me to take credit and debit card payments. As a freelancer, I work with a small number of clients, and only send a few invoices per month, so paying for other freelancing software doesn't seem like good value. I like that the invoice can be customized to suit my branding, as well as adding custom fields such as an ABN. It is also minimalist and looks professional. Another great thing is that there are also no restrictions on the number of clients I can add, which is perfect because I do a lot of one off projects.

Cons

I don't like the way that the card payments via Stripe appear on the invoice. It is just a small icon of a card under the 'Payment Options' section, but it doesn't seem as clear or trustworthy as other invoicing software. I manually added text about clicking the icon to make a payment by debit or credit card via Stripe. However, I noticed that the number of clients who do so is significantly less than when I used to accept card payments via Wave. It can also be confusing to find certain menu items when configuring invoices - especially related to custom fields.

Reasons for Choosing Zoho Invoice

I only send a few invoices per month, and the Freshbooks Lite plan only has up to 5 billable clients. Because I do a lot of one off projects, I found myself having to delete previous clients to still be able to charge new ones. The next plan was double the price, and went from 5 to 50 billable clients - a significant difference.

Pros

Predictive is helpful. Enjoy the auto calculation of totals.

Cons

Not much predictive saving. When working with my local currency it would be great if it did not default to dollar.

Easy to use once you're signed up. It's one of the very few cloud applications I use (I'm an on-prem dinosaur for most things) and I appreciate the convenience of anywhere-invoicing for my small business. I do also appreciate the nearly-direct line to product development. I've offered a couple of feature requests and am happy to note that one of them showed up a few months ago. Thanks, Zoho!

Pros

Simplicity and efficiency of the user interface.

Cons

The integrations with other Zoho apps are fine for customers that have standardized on their cloud suite, but the lack of 3rd party integrations (or even an API we could code our own to) make it unwieldy for anyone with more than a few dozen customers. While it's certainly to be expected from a totally-free application, I get a little irritated with the marketing for other Zoho products. Maybe they could tone it down a little for users of other Zoho paid products, like me.
