The price is nice, it is very easy to use, I can customize everything the way I want. The support is great. Really could not be more satisfied. Pros The ergonomy, the intuitivity, the design, the high level of customization, and the very helpful support service. And the fair price. Cons Nothing, I like everything. Been using for more than 3 years now so I am 100% confirming my satisfaction. Review Source Stanley M.

November 11, 2022 4.0 Invoice management ad billing process has become very easy with the help of Invoice Ninja and inclusion of the client portal is a nice addition. Pros Recurring billing/ Invoices cycle and ability to customize my Invoices to fit my company brand. Cons Tack of multi company support is by far the biggest drawback for my use case. Reason for choosing Invoice Ninja Ability to customize Invoices to match my brand and billing cycle options for recurring invoices was better handled in invoice Ninja. Switched from [QuickBooks Enterprise](https://www.capterra.com/p/174984/QuickBooks-Enterprise/)[InvoicePlane](https://www.capterra.com/p/143889/InvoicePlane/) Ability to customize Invoices to match my brand and billing cycle options for recurring invoices was better handled in invoice Ninja.

It keeps track of everything and kept my business running efficiently. You won't go wrong with this service! Pros Ease of use was number one. The fact that I could customize the software, using my own Logo and invoice numbering. And what a bargain! A lot of bang for your buck., Cons There was NOTHING I didn't like. They were VERY RESPONSIVE to questions and I was never disappointed. Review Source KK Kimberly K. Conference and Event Services Education Management Used the software for: 2+ years ### "Worst Customer Service" December 15, 2022 2.0 Invoice program is easy to use, but it's a bare bones program. We were fine with what they offered, and I made it work. However, the customer service is ultimate failure. Every year there is an error - and if they do not agree with what you are saying they "downgrade" your account to a free account so you have no access to your records. Be careful with using your card, as they run payment without authorization. Pros Ease of use of this product. HOnestly can't say more as I'm just filling the "40" min count right now. Cons Missing so many features, mobile payments and online payments not offered Switched from [Microsoft Excel](https://www.capterra.com/p/176574/Excel/) I'm not sure. The other program worked fine. Review Source Response from InvoiceNinja January 30, 2023 This account user mailed us a paper check via postal mail 1 month after the Pro account expired for non-payment. We were unable to keep them upgraded to a Pro plan until the paper check was received by postal mail. This user was quite upset. We asked them to simply pay online, they were unable. JG Jonathan G. Chief Narrative Officer Marketing and Advertising Used the software for: 2+ years ### "Free Invoice Solution - No More Excuses" March 14, 2022 5.0 Incredibly helpful and uncorked a big bottleneck for getting my business started. Also powerful enough to continue to use even beyond the startup phase. Pros The amount of work it took off my plate. I didn't have to pay someone to send invoices or struggle with PDF templates, Google doc formatting, or other bloated invoice software. Cons The Invoice Ninja messaging is a little low budget, but I also know INC 5000 companies that use the free version. It's really a matter of preference. Alternatives considered [Invoice2go](https://www.capterra.com/p/81858/Invoice2go/)[Zoho Invoice](https://www.capterra.com/p/163114/Zoho-Invoice/) Reason for choosing Invoice Ninja It was recommended by an INC 5000 ad agency as I was building my business and needed an easy-to-use and powerful cloud-based invoice generator. That was three years ago and I haven't looked back. Review Source Response from InvoiceNinja March 22, 2022 Fabulous review! Thank you very much for taking the time to provide such wonderful feedback! Welcome to the Invoice Ninja community! Nipon D. Executive Director Information Technology and Services Used the software for: 1-2 years ### "A great billing and invoicing app for FREE! " September 6, 2022 4.0 I found it really useful. Highly recommend for small businesses and freelancers Pros They offer a plan for free forever which is best for startups, small businesses and individuals who doesn’t want to spend money for invoicing yet. Easily integrable with most e-commerce solutions. You can fully brand the whole thing by paying only a few dollars per month. You can use their server or host it yourself on yours easily without having any programming skills. Also they. Offer a easy to use mobile app which makes invoicing mobile Cons Most payment processors like PayPal offer invoicing app for free. Alternatives considered [PayPal Invoicing](https://www.capterra.com/p/179253/PayPal-Invoicing/) Reason for choosing Invoice Ninja Easy to use Switched from [PayPal Invoicing](https://www.capterra.com/p/179253/PayPal-Invoicing/) To offer other payment options to my customers Review Source Response from InvoiceNinja September 20, 2022 Thank you for your great review! Trevor R. Owner / Coder Internet Used the software for: 6-12 months ### "The Best All Around Solution" February 8, 2021 5.0 Invoice Ninja is the invoicing solution I've always needed! Finally! But it's not just invoicing, it easily enables me to track my time, my income and my expenses as well (plus you can do even more with it if you want!). And it does this all at a very fair and affordable price for this sector. Many of the competitors are simply over priced, especially for sole traders that don't do a ton of business. It's also amazing that it is both powerful and easy to use. If you don't need to do much with it, then you can very quickly just get invoicing. For those who like to tinker and tweak or need more functionality, then it can do that too. It's rare to find both ease of use and powerful customization together. Pros Very easy to use and setup, yet at the same time the flexibility and functionality exceeds all other options I've tried in this sector. Cons There is one or two missing features that are key for me (combined currency income for example), but those are coming with the soon to be released next major version. Switched from [FreshBooks](https://www.capterra.com/p/142390/FreshBooks/)[Fiverr](https://www.capterra.com/p/239416/Fiverr/) FreshBooks got too expensive and they totally bungled their major new version release in 2015/2016. And.co switched from free to essentially only paid plans by severely crippling their free version. They didn't offer any low/mid tier plan, which I would have been happy to pay for. Instead they only had one plan, and it was very expensive (for what it did). Review Source Response from InvoiceNinja February 11, 2021 GREAT REVIEW!!!

Pros I liked how easy it was to onboard and get going. Cons Dark mode isn't available in the react gui interface version. It is available in the Flutter gui version.

It also have a self hosted version Pros It has all the tools to start a small business Cons It is easy to outgrow the functionalities of the product Alternatives considered [Zoho Expense](https://www.capterra.com/p/142384/Zoho-Expense/) Reason for choosing Invoice Ninja It is asy to implement and it has a self hosted version Review Source Kenric B. Owner Information Technology and Services Used the software for: 1-2 years ### "Awesome software for a small business" April 5, 2020 5.0 This is a helpful way for me to manage my company's invoices especially on the go. It is perfect for my self ran business. Pros Easy to setup and use out of the box. Lots of information if you need help. Can create multiple companies and multiple users. Cons The invoice preview wasn't working for me by default. I had to download every invoice to just see what I was sending. I googled a small and simple fix. I just had to disable a setting and previews worked as expected. Switched from [Invoice Simple](https://www.capterra.com/p/165683/Invoice-Simple/) Invoice ninja was more modern. Easier interface and mobile friendly. This is just a more robust platform than what I was using before. It is also easier to customize.

VR Verified Reviewer Head of infrastructure engineering Management Consulting Used the software for: 2+ years ### "Gets the job done – essential functionality" January 9, 2025 4.0 Solid tool if you want to self-host, and you do not care for polished interface. Pros I really like Invoice Ninja for several reasons: Open Source: Being open source is a significant advantage, I am just sucker for it. Self-Hosted: I appreciate the option to self-host, giving me full control over my invoicing data. Low Maintenance: It requires minimal maintenance, which is a huge plus for my workflow. Customization: I can customize almost everything, tailoring the platform to fit my specific needs. Functionality: It works reasonably well for creating invoices whenever I need to. Cons There are some bugs now and then in templating and other areas that are annoying. Review Source Response from InvoiceNinja January 10, 2025 Thank you very much for your fantastic review!

Version 5 migration was a desaster and the product is worse now." November 8, 2022 5.0 Fantastic, until Version 5 has been forced onto customers. Pros Version 4 had everything I needed as "one-man show" for my small IT business. Cons I thought, awesome there is this new Version 5. Let's start early and get onto the new features it has. This decision not only cost me a lot of valuable time to fix lots of bugs of the "automated" Migration process itself, but also it finally cost me almost $700 of my income because of an unwanted (automated) email that went out to a customer unplanned and unwarned. The new design of Version 5 seemed more like a homage to a Google Developer's Database Tool than an actual helpful product for the daily business administration. It was a \*\*\*\* in the neck to say the least. And today, I open up my Version 4 (Yes, I moved back, what a surprise) and the system tells me, I am suddenly on a Free account and I have only until End of November 2022 to move on to Version 5. Well, thank you Invoice Ninja!! Looks like I'm gonna have to cancel my Enterprise License altogether then very soon. You gonna lose a former happy customer, but I guess - in the name of progress and for your own Developer's Happiness about their favourite new toy: Version 5, that's the way it's gonna go... "Sad to see you leave customer, who cares." Reason for choosing Invoice Ninja It had everything I needed for a competitive price. Version 4 at least. Review Source AN Aurore N. Webdesigner Used the software for: Less than 6 months ### "After trial testing, I signed up for pro version and am very satisfied with it !" April 30, 2018 5.0 Pros First of all, a multilingual app is great, more comfortable to work in your native language. One of the greatest feature in task and timer (timer can be installed directly on computer). In one click, task (with detailed timing) can be transformed in invoice, and a second click to send it to the client. I saved so much time with that !! Working in graphic design, invoice template is important to me. I tested many billing and invoicing systems. Finally Invoiceninja was the best choice. Nice templates for beginners. And customization allows good design (just need to work on code, but support and videos help you on that). Customer support is great, very quick (reply few minutes later) and very helpful. Clients propose various new features through the forum, and the dev team continue to improve the app considering clients feedback. Finally, invoices and quotes are so easy to create, there is no need to say more on that! Products list is a smart feature. Creating a catalogue of all products ans services makes invoicing very fast and intuitive. Once again, so much time saved. There is plenty of options in this app. Through features and custom fields, the app becomes your app, according your needs and your billing way. I can't wait to use Zapier to connect my shop with the invoicing app. After that, administrative works will not need anymore dedicated days on my calendar (only few minutes per month) Cons Actually, I can not think of any cons. Of course, it is natural to want more and more features but comparing to other apps, this app is the best and more accurate. Moreover, after many topics on support forum, support helped me a lot to resolve all issues. And try to add new features or options to match these needs.

Owner Computer & Network Security Used the software for: 1-2 years ### "Streamlined my invoicing and quoting" March 23, 2019 5.0 Invoice Ninja has allowed us to streamline our process for quotes and invoices. Since switching we are able to get quotes and invoices out to customers almost instantly without techs having to refer everything back to the office. Pros I love that I can access Invoice Ninja from anywhere whether I'm in my office or infront of a customer I can quickly put together a quote, lookup a product or send off an invoice. With the customer portal my customers know exactly where they stand, saving my staff time from having to look up information for customers. We love that customers can accept or decline quotes, and pay invoices right from their email or portal. Getting notifications when customers have completed actions such as viewing an invoice helps us know where our customers stand in the quote and invoice process. Cons I wish the project and time tracking modules were improved a bit, they don't exactly fit our needs, but it's not a deal breaker. I also would love to be able to add pictures of each product so that when the customer sees a quote or invoice they can see a picture of the product.

September 14, 2018 5.0 After years of searching for invoice software to meet my personal technological demand I found Invoice Ninja. I am absolutely blown away! Operating a small business is no task for the meek, but when your invoicing software allows you to document so much to one invoice you know you have your bases covered. This product meet ever want i have ever had to present to my customers. I am self hosted for the first time in my life and find myself released from my host's many charges. I chose white-label only to show my support for this wonderful product. Even the support and customer service professionalism rocks my world. Any speed bump I had during the installation process was immediately straightened out by "Keymaster" Hillel Coren via google search and previously answering issues. Thank you all deeply for such a finely tuned wonderful creation. Pros Above every other great part of this program I am very please with it's simplistic interface. -documents attached to e-mail and pdf -mobile app just as clean as the web interface -diverse payment gateways -2FA security (never thought I would use this but they made this very easy) -variety of from free to paying solutions with a few added benefits to each -exports as needed Cons when I find some I'll have to come back and fill this in.

MA Margaret A. Owner Used the software for: 6-12 months ### "Invoices with my branding and ability to accept payment with Stripe" July 18, 2017 4.0 Pros I went with the hosted paid version, which allows me to include my logo and custom number my invoices. I can keep a simple product list for filling in my invoices, and accept payments with Stripe. Clients have had no problem paying their invoices since I started in January 2017. Cons I wish it accepted both Stripe and PayPal, but I haven't figured that out. Occasionally it hangs for a bit after creating a new client but doesnt freeze anywhere else. The reports are useful, but the Tax Rate one doesn't include the client's name, only invoice numbers and from what I can tell it is in first name order when I look the numbers up. Review Source Response from InvoiceNinja October 6, 2017 Thanks for your review! Feel free to email us if you'd like help setting up PayPal along with Stripe or if you experience any software issues. We'll make sure to add the client name to the tax report in our next release. Joe C.

It looks really professional it all being on my own domain name too. Cons If I had to say something - maybe its the branding, however I understand that it's free if it's self-hosted and they need to advertise some how!

The invoices look great. Cons The invoice PDF preview doesn't work in the brave browser. The way the site looks on a phone's web browser could use some polishing.
