Two different invoicing software options, Invoicely and Zoho Invoice have different pricing structures, feature sets and capacities for ecosystem integration. Both offer free plans and basic functionality.
Zoho Invoice provides aggressive pricing with Free, Standard, Premium and Custom plans while Invoicely offers reasonable pricing with Free, Basic, Professional and Enterprise plans. Both provide unlimited clients to manage numerous customer relationships and predictable financial planning for expanding businesses.
Zoho Invoice and Invoicely both provide basic invoicing functions but their more sophisticated features vary. While Invoicely has simplified features like automated recurring billing and payment reminders, it does not support project-based billing and has limited control over user permissions. While some features are exclusive to Pro and Growth plans, Zoho Invoice provides more advanced business management tools.
Invoicely lacks integration with more comprehensive business management systems and is a stand-alone invoicing tool with minimal support for payment gateways. In contrast, Zoho Invoice makes use of its place in the Zoho ecosystem by providing native CRM integration and API accessibility.
In contrast to Zoho Invoice, which provides extensive mobile apps for iOS and Android platforms with limited round-the-clock customer support, Invoicely only provides basic invoicing and payment management features on iOS devices.
Zoho Invoice provides extensive localization and industry-specific customization for a variety of markets whereas Invoicely has few localization options and lacks industry-specific customization features.
For freelancers and small businesses, Invoicely is the best option. However, Zoho Invoice although more expensive, provides extensive integrations, international capabilities and comprehensive project management.
