November 11, 2016 5.0 If you're in the market for a simple and streamlined invoicing tool for your small business, Hiveage is the best and most thorough program out there!! We use this not only for billing, but keeping a handle on our businesses checks and balances. We get everything we need in one convenient place and for one low monthly rate. Customer service is always fast and friendly and our customers like the professional look and clear breakdown of what they are purchasing. From all of us at Senchant's Art of Teaching, Thank You Hiveage!! Pros Ease of creating clear and concise invoices that look professional. Ability to create income and expenses and export for tax purposes. Very inexpensive and great customer support. Cons Default payment button attached to invoices is sometimes confusing for our clients. We do not have this feature setup and would just prefer the button not be there.

Definitely, a go ahead. Pros a. Excellent tool for quick invoice generation for all small med enterprise. VAT is already linked for onboarded tools b. Web and app both are great and effective. Single sign-in available c. Dashboard is AI enable and saves a of time d. Well linked with internal tools like payroll and accounts payable. No headache in terms of implementation e. Super safe and secure tool, no fear of data breach Cons a. Customer care is bit sloe and takes time to resolve queries b. AI needs to be more advanced to match up with other tools in the market c. Cloud space is a bit limited and need to buy if you need more in future. This should be a part of the annual license Switched from [Zuora](https://www.capterra.com/p/84232/Z-Billing/) For better customized way of working. The old tool was very rigid for changing the features as per the company needs. Review Source TK Theric K.

August 19, 2019 3.0 I had high hopes and want to continue using their service and vouch for their service but with the lack of customer service response on issues that affect our usage I can't recommend anyone using this if they rely on this service for their day-to-day operation. Should be as glitch-free as possible and even if there are glitches any customer service help we need should be responded back within a few days max whenever possible. I'm currently waiting at 7 weeks and counting with no reply back and that's unacceptable! Pros One thing I like about the software is that it has multi-currency invoicing which we need and an app where we can issue quotations and invoices on-the-go. Overall it should suffice for most businesses out there. Cons The lack of customer service response and also sometimes the platform is glitchy (e.g. you have a product preset and it doesn't pull up when you try add to an invoice, and if you add a new customer during the invoicing stage it doesn't add that new customer details to that invoice after you've entered all the necessary customer details and save those details). These are sporadic issues and becomes an annoyance after a while. They also pitched a custom domain option (which is one of the reasons we've signed up for this) and it worked initially and now doesn't work at all and says the feature is a beta feature (which was never mentioned on their website). When we have an issue with this and contacted customer service we get no response back and when they do they don't reply back. Live chat = non-existent. Email = no reply back. Review Source Response from Hiveage August 20, 2019 Regarding the custom domain feature mentioned in this review: Hiveage continues to support custom domains, and the experimental feature that was discontinued was SSL support on custom domains (which was not promoted publicly). We were one of the few, if not the only, invoicing software to try this feature, but at the moment we do not have an ETA for re-introducing it. As a policy we refrain from publicly commenting on matters specific to individual customers. SH Shauna H.

Hiveage has helped us recoup a lot of wasted time and energy. Pros Ease of use, customization and customer support. The customer support is excellent, hard to beat. Cons Expense for our needs. At this time there are many features that we aren't taking advantage of but we're paying for. In the future I foresee us using many more of the features but for now it's mainly a reference resource for our deliveries and customers. If there were a more basic plan that enabled us to utilize more basic features and pay a smaller monthly fee that would be helpful. Alternatives considered [QuickBooks Enterprise](https://www.capterra.com/p/174984/QuickBooks-Enterprise/) Reason for choosing Hiveage At the time Hiveage was free so that was a large deciding factor. When the subscription based plans were implemented we figured it was worth it to keep the basic plan in order to keep all the information we had uploaded into the system over the course of the year or so that we had been using it at that point. Though I did do some additional research to find a different option that was more cost effective. We really appreciate the ease of use of Hiveage and the customer service so we're happy to keep using it, but if a lower cost option were to come along that also provided great customer support and that was also easy to use, it would likely be a consideration to make the switch.

When most of your attention is focused on running your business, apps that are either too complex are just as much of a problem as those which don't do everything you need them to. Hiveage strikes the balance I need perfectly, allowing me to breeze through invoicing with minimal effort. Pros User interface, ease of use, clarity, and reporting. Cons Could use multilingual invoice templates Review Source Nathan W. Photographer Photography Used the software for: 2+ years ### "Reliable, easy to use invoicing for small businesses." December 19, 2018 5.0 HIveage has allowed me more time doing what I love and less time worrying about who has/hasn't paid their invoices. Notifications on how long an invoice has been outstanding have been super helpful in terms of reminding outstanding accounts. Pros Hiveage has provided me a cost effective way to manage my small businesses invoicing without the hassle of learning something like quickbooks. Being able to access my invoices on the go has allowed me a freedom I din't expect out of a low-cost software. Also, being able to pull yearly reports has helped a lot during tax season! The interface is fast and reliable, I've had no problems with crashing or lost data. Cons I wish there was an option to send out an invoice with an estimate header so clients didn't think the quotes I am sending are payable. Review Source Melissa M.

November 22, 2019 5.0 Pros I love the look of the software, and especially being able to customize the look of my invoices. I also love the ease of changing emails and invoices. Cons I wish tracking expenses could be better organized and separated by year. Also, I wish I could send emails via my gmail account. There were a few times when my emails would go to spam.

Used the software for: 2+ years ### "Hiveage Review - Best bang for the buck" December 26, 2016 5.0 Best bang for the buck. Back in 2014, I reviewed various services and Curdbee (which turned into Hiveage) was the best for my needs. I am a private tutor (only 1 person accessing the account) that needs regular billing, a summary of all invoices with invoice numbers. Note that this is not a burn software (which is a good thing! Tax people like this!), meaning invoice numbers cannot be deleted/changed (as far as I know) - this allows you to keep records good for the Canada Revenue Agency. Pros Cost for software as a service. Too many other companies charge way too much for simple invoicing. Review Source Stephanie H. Lead Graphic Designer Marketing and Advertising Used the software for: 2+ years ### "Easy to Manage our Clientele" December 17, 2018 5.0 Pros I love this program! We all work remotely in our company, so this program makes it easy for us all to access client info if we are working on multiple projects. We can easily save images, pdfs, any files to their account within Hiveage. Cons Only thing I do not like is when I go to download an attachment from the client's portal within Hiveage is that it opens in a new tab for me. Review Source Dan K. Used the software for: 2+ years ### "Super Easy to Use" September 26, 2016 5.0 I have been using Hiveage since it used to be Curdbee many years ago. Hiveage revamped some features to give users options from like an a la carte that I find very handy. Super easy to navigate and connects with my major forms of payment. Allows the ability to upload your business logo and just plain works. Its nice to have it send PDF copies of invoices to clients for their records and receipts for payment. Couldn't be happier with my experiences at a price that doesn't break the bank. Pros Flexible, budget friendly, connects with major forms of payment, has a mobile app. Cons I would like to see the ability to create an invoice from the mobile app. Review Source VR Verified Reviewer Cofounder & CTO Used the software for: 2+ years ### "Fantastic invoicing for consultants. " April 5, 2018 5.0 Pros It's incredibly easy to invoice and collect recurring payments. I spend almost no time dealing with AR anymore. Cons Sometimes recurring invoices don't get sent if you enter them in too early, or screw with the dates. Review Source IS Ishan S. Translation Studies Wiki Developer Used the software for: 2+ years ### "Good Software, Mobile Apps lack a few features" March 28, 2018 5.0 Pros Hiveage is a great software for freelancers and consultants and has almost every feature you'll ever want. They have usage based plans which allow you to pay for only what you want. Cons Mobile app lacks some reporting features and it can be hard to see some information that's readily available on web.

Owner Graphic Design Used the software for: 2+ years ### "Easy to use and user friendly" November 15, 2019 5.0 Pros The interface is very user friendly and simple to navigate. It's always been very dependable and i like being able to see that a client has viewed my invoice. I also appreciate that I can brand it to my business. Cons Right now I have reached the max amount of clients. I didn't know there was a limit. Review Source FA Farman A.

Its never been so easy to handle all the bills and client list, with respect to their country currency and contact information Pros User Experience, Invoice, Bills and Client Data Cons Everything is perfect Review Source GD Gina D. Used the software for: ### "Awesome invoice program for small business!" October 7, 2016 5.0 I started with a free trial and l only needed the invoice portion of Hivage. The great part was I only have to pay less than $3 a month for only this portion. I did not have to purchase the entire program. It is great an easy to use for small and large business' alike. Review Source PF Paulinnho F. Translator and Interpreter Translation and Localization Used the software for: 1-2 years ### "Thumbs up!" October 20, 2016 5.0 Before Hiveage, invoicing took ages. I tried many other tools for freelancers, but Hiveage really serves the purpose. Simple, practical and quick! Pros It is not time consuming! Cons Non. Review Source DO Dan O. Used the software for: ### "Ideal invoicing tool" October 3, 2016 5.0 This is an ideal invoicing tool for freelancers and small business owners like me. It is very easy to use and great value.

BSL Interpreter Individual & Family Services Used the software for: 2+ years ### "Easy to use, even for a novice like me" November 25, 2019 5.0 Pros So easy to use, does everything I want it to do. I can track expenses and link them to invoices which makes record-keeping a breeze. I love that I can download pdf versions of my invoices if I need to and that it tracks all invoice activity. Cons I would like to be able to see the list of outstanding invoices on the app version dashboard - it states the total outstanding and how many invoices but you can't click to see those particular invoices the way you can on the desktop version. Also, can it be linked to HMRC in the UK to make self-assessment easier? Review Source NS Nathan S. Creative Director Design Used the software for: 2+ years ### "I was on board after my first invoice" October 24, 2016 5.0 Hiveage has made my life so much easier. I can just set it and forget it with most of my recurring billing clients. It's definitely worth the $100 a year to me - just in time savings alone. It's so simple to set up for 1 or 100 clients on one-off or recurring billing. Step 1. Add your client's email and details Step 2. Add your own Paypal (or whatever you want) account info Step 3. Make your itemized invoice - set it to recur every X months. Step 4. Hit send Step 5. Wait for your money System automatically sends invoices, reminders and payment receipts and marks them as paid once the funds come in. I only use Paypal but clients don't need to have Paypal to make payments. You can even track when a client has viewed the invoice. It had perfectly scaled with the growth of my business, and I see loads of room for future expansion if I ever need it. Customer support has always been helpful and ultra fast. Pros Simple to use and saves me so much time. Very inexpensive. No transaction fees, just my annual fee based on the services I use. Cons Some functions take a few clicks to get to which could maybe be simplified & an alternate default view for showing which invoices are outstanding would be helpful. Review Source LS Lance S. Art Director Graphic Design Used the software for: 2+ years ### "Straightforward Billing/Invoicing Solution for Professionals and Small Businesses" November 25, 2019 5.0 I've been using the service since 2011 while it was still called CurdBee and haven't turned back since. I've tried many other providers including a custom-made invoicing solution before (and alongside Hiveage), but because of how easy it is to use and how Hiveage streamlines our billing (and expense tracking) workflow – switching completely to Hiveage was an easy choice to make. Pros Ease of use and setup. Modularity is a great plus, it doesn't drown you with too many things to setup. You can easily enable modules you need and just not deal with everything else. Team access is also a great feature. The recent addition of a fully working phone app is also a plus. Cons Lack of useful and customisable dashboard reports/charts. Limited customisation on the layout of invoices sent out. A bit pricey compared to mainstream providers with the same offering - but I still think it is value for money. Review Source RB Randall B. Owner Computer & Network Security Used the software for: 2+ years ### "Hiveage is very easy to use. We use it for all of our recurring invoicing" June 16, 2017 5.0 Easy of billing and ease of pay for the customer Pros 1) We like the simplicity of the interface. It's so easy to set u new customers ant d to bill them. 2) We like that the Mobile and Desktop experiences are pretty much the same experience. That's huge for us. 3) The customer service is awesome and they have been really quick to add or tweak features that are really needed. Cons There are a couple of things that bug me. We don't get a notification when a customer in auto pay has a credit card that becomes invalid. That's really needed. Also, there is a weakness in Sales Tax reporting. It's based on invoices sent and NOT on invoices paid. In my state (Texas, USA), sales tax is collected when money changes hands. Review Source CC Cheryl C. Owner Graphic Design Used the software for: 2+ years ### "Works well for freelance designer" November 26, 2019 5.0 Pros I like that I can track my time and then it is easy to turn it into an invoice. Turning on the clock when starting and off when finishing is great. Like how it keeps track of who has viewed my invoice and I can tell what invoices are outstanding. Cons The only think that I've run into is had a problem a couple times and was hard to find where to contact for customer service. Review Source AF Afzal F. Ceo Printing Used the software for: 2+ years ### "The ultimate invoicing system" November 15, 2019 5.0 Have been using it for over 10 years, totally pleased with it. I am running two companies on it. Totally satisfied Pros The ease of use, convenience of online storage, estimated integrated with accounts. Receipt generations and payment reminders. Cons I have requested this many times, Hiveage doesn’t have job card integration with estimates and invoice. If that comes in I believe this would complete it. Review Source VR Verified Reviewer Owner / Home Inspector Used the software for: 1-2 years ### "Excellent invoicing software compatible with many gateways" March 30, 2018 5.0 Pros I like the customizable invoice page, the customizable domain, the variety of gateways to choose from, the ease of use, the reliability, and just the overall experience. I have been using it for over 2 years and not had a complaint. Cons The only con I would have is that it can be a little difficult to set up if you aren't tech savvy. I did not have a problem but I've held back on recommending it to some folks because I didn't think they would be able to employ it. Review Source SC Scott C. Used the software for: 2+ years ### "Works for me." October 6, 2016 5.0 I've been using Hiveage for years to help run my graphic design and Adobe software training business. From the beginning I've always liked its simplicity, pricing, and support. Perhaps there are other solutions with more features, but for me Hiveage just works. Pros Simplicity and support. Cons Lack of more export options. Review Source Similar Products Featured
