How to select an online invoice partner

Having already made the mistake of selecting an online invoicing partner (WorkingPoint) that eliminated their "free invoice" option and switched it to a paid service before year end (effectively holding me and my data hostage) I will share some tips on what to look for and what to avoid.

Top 5 things to avoid when selecting a free invoice provider

  1. Brand new start-ups that only do invoicing
  2. Older companies that haven't provided recent updates
  3. Companies that don't have advanced options for developed businesses
  4. Providers that don't offer online payment options
  5. Homemade style websites with generic features

Top 5 things to look for when selecting a free invoice provider

  1. Larger companies that have paid features which allows them to offer continual free use
  2. Providers with current updates and free support
  3. Companies that offer services for your growing business (financial reports, expense tracking and business apps like CRM)
  4. Remote access with built in online payment options like PayPal & Google Checkout
  5. Website with easy sign in options, advanced security features, customizable invoices & estimates, expense tracking and email integration

    I love Zoho ... and have been using it for years. It is not free. I pay $10 a month and that is plenty of invoices.

    Hi Rockett, Thanks for visiting! I'm still on the free plan which allows 5 invoices a month which is perfect for me and I agree I love Zoho too!

    Hi Rockett, thanks for visiting. Yes you are correct only 5 invoices a month are free. If you need more they have a nominal charge.
