Simple Invoices and Invoice2go are two different invoicing software platforms with similar basic features but different feature sets, costs and user bases. The decision between the two is based on business needs and expansion goals.
Invoice2go is a complete invoicing solution with features like automated payment reminders, time tracking and expense tracking. It provides advanced reporting, user permissions and project-based billing. These features are absent from Simple Invoices which concentrates on the most important tasks. File uploads, user permissions management, tax processing and custom templates are all shared by both platforms.
Simple Invoices offers flexibility with a free plan and several paid options while Invoice2go offers premium plans with a 30-day free trial. Their mobile app tiers range from $6.99 to $15 per month while their web platform costs $15. Enterprise plans are $999 per year or $99 per month. Processing fees for payments are reasonable.
Simple Invoices supports QuickBooks, Xero, FreshBooks, HoneyBook, Pipedrive and Salesforce but it does not have banking connections or payment gateway options. In contrast, Invoice2go has better integration capabilities with accounting software, CRM and multiple payment gateways.
Invoice2go provides better security and compliance features such as GDPR compliance and data encryption than Simple Invoices. Additionally, Invoice2go offers 24/7 customer support for Premium users.
Simple Invoices targets users on a budget while Invoice2go is a complete invoicing and business management solution with expert support and security features.
