Invoice Ninja

Nothing else like Invoice Ninja!

Comments: Overall, I really love Invoice Ninja however! The team listens to feedback, and actively works to fix issues. They care about their product, and offer it at a reasonable price. I self host, which is free, and I support them by buying a white label license to remove the invoice ninja branding on invoices.

Pros:

Invoice Ninja is incredibly powerful and offers the ability to self host, which is of big importance for myself. I particularly like the client portal and the ability for my clients to log in at anytime to view their active or past invoices and payments. The ability to customise most of the details such as what is displayed on your invoice, where it's displayed, the colours, etc. is really great. Other solutions charge a monthly fee just to have custom fields! I love the way the workflow works with quotes too, where I can create a quote and if it becomes approved via the client portal it can get turned into an invoice automatically. Being able to access it from a browser anywhere to get my invoicing done or use an app on virtually every platform there is, is fantastic. Oh, and it actually looks great on mobile. It's all the little bits and pieces and the constantly evolving feature set that makes Invoice Ninja the best.

Cons:

V4 was virtually indestructible compared to v5, but v5 is getting to a very good point and the team had a very valid reason for the overhaul. Things work seamlessly across devices with the same frameworks being used. The only downside is a fair few bugs here and there, some of them which have even been a deal breaker at an earlier point in time so I had to continue using V4 until they were fixed up. A few issues still exist but the team does listen and actively works to resolve them. I report whatever bugs or issues I find and continue to support the team regardless. I'd also like to see an inventory tracker come into play. That would be really useful.

Invoice ninja is a simple and easy to use basic accounting tool

Comments: It's easy to start and use even if it has limited functionalities. 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

Fails on most levels

Pros:

I like that I can track my invoices - IF the site is working

Cons:

Where to begin? I migrated THREE TIMES to V5 from V4, have been using the program in V5 and today I'm completely locked out and it insists that I need to migrate to V5. Except I've already done it and will overwrite all the data that is currently in V5. There is no customer support to call to straighten it out. The migration from V4 to V5 was a poop show. It only transferred about half of my data - the rest was completely lost. The site is fairly intuitive, so that's good.

Free Invoice Solution - No More Excuses

Comments: 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.

An Amazing Invoicing Software that Will Leave You and Your Clients in Awe

Comments: Invoice Ninja is an invoicing software that can make your business look that much more professional. For the small price tag, you get a very powerful, fully customizable system that will make your invoicing headaches disappear. We have linked Stripe and Authorize.Net to it with a simple copy and paste of the payment gateway key and within minutes we were charging customers. I highly recommend Invoice Ninja!

Pros:

InvoiceNinja is extremely easy to use for both your team and clients. It allows for you to create customizable and nicely designed invoices and quotes. You can customize the messaging sent in email communications. It also gives your clients their own portals to manage their accounts.

Cons:

Reoccuring invoices can be difficult to use and understand how they work. Also, when sending quotes they valid dates seem to end the day before in the evening and clients cannot accept the pricing sent so a new quote must be sent. There is also a lack of direct customer support and instead provide a knowledge base.

Worst Customer Service

Comments: 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

Gets the job done!

Pros:

InvoiceNinja works out-of-the-box. It's easy and reliable and specifically designed for freelancers and SMEs.

Cons:

Would love to see integration for platforms such as Payoneer and QuickBooks for payment requests and accounting. However, I understand that the lack thereof is probably more of an issue with respective providers. The proposal editor could use a rework as well to make it more intuitive.

A Happy'ish Invoice Ninja Client

Comments: I would like to see the clients phone number on the main Client screen.
Some more updated youtube videos will be appreciated.

Pros:

Invoice Ninja is easy to use and support has been very impressive when needed. I like that I can almost forget to do invoicing because it is done for you, especially recurring invoicing. It would be nice if statements could be sent out automatically on all overdue accounts.

Cons:

I cannot always tell if clients have Viewed their invoices. Syncing with phone app not reliable for android. Proposals need some work. I am using Plutio.com for my proposals and digital signatures. The proposal sections look dated. More templates and a community that can share temples.

Go Global with Invoice Ninja

Comments: Global Billing
Single Payment gateway.
Multiple users worldwide.

Pros:

Hi., We have customers worldwide and we sell our subscription service to the customers for the shipping portal freightmarket.com Invoice ninja has helped us to expand globally by billing clients in multiple currency using a single payment gateway. Highly recomended for business trading worldwide

Cons:

Simple to use and easy to understand. If you cant use Invoice ninja, you shouldnt be in business. Cheap pricing

Invoice Ninja is professional, reliable and cost effective

Comments: We wanted a way to configure recurring billing, the solution must integrate with Stripe and QuickBooks. Invoice Ninja gets the job done.

Pros:

We are able to self-host Invoice Ninja on our cpanel website using Softaculous, other panels supported by Softaculous will also work.

Cons:

Some functions aren't intuitive. For example importing takes some work. On the plus side forum support provided by the developer is excellent.

Version 4 was a fantastic product. Version 5 migration was a desaster and the product is worse now.

Comments: 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."

This is an awesome tool for sending out invoices.

Pros:

I love the recurring invoices feature, it makes billing so much easier and faster.

Cons:

I really don't like that the mobile app is so boring. I love colors and want my software to be interesting but invoice ninja is so boring with not many colors or illustrations.

Outstanding software, easy to use, with amazing support.

Pros:

Invoice Ninja is extremely easy to use, which is their main point. But that ease of use doesn't mean it doesn't have powerful features. There's plenty of functionality for freelancers such as myself to make getting paid a snap. The developers are also a top-notch group. Any time I've had an issue or a question, they're always quick to either fix a bug or point out exactly what I need to do to solve a problem. You don't get that from larger shops that have a bunch first-tier support people following a script. Having a developer team that communicates efficiently with the user base makes all the difference in the world. From an administrative standpoint, I could probably run it on a toaster as long as I had enough space for my database. If you choose to go the self-hosted route, there's no need for high-end VPS solutions. A single core with a gig of ram and some storage is more than enough to get you up and running.

Cons:

If I had to pick something to gripe about, it would be that the setup process for self-hosted can be a bit finnicky for beginners. But once you get the hang of it, it's really not that bad. Setting up my own deployment has helped me learn a lot about Linux administration, so it's a win in the end.

Invoice Ninja cuts through the Competition

Comments: So far, I have really enjoyed using Invoice Ninja, the White Label cost is very affordable and there are no other extra fees to using the system. It provides a seamless and professional look to your billing system that clients will love and be impressed over!

Pros:

This software does what it's meant to; invoicing and billing clients and providing a clean and easy way to manage it all. The software provides a portal for clients to view past invoices and pay existing invoices while seeing your branding (White Label registration required).

Cons:

So far, there have been minimal annoyances that I have encountered. I believe invoicing templates could be amped up a bit, and the White Labeling feature doesn't quick get everything, so a bit of custom work is needed. Also, installation is generally speaking simple but some people may still have an issue if trying to install without an auto-installer like Softaculous.

Very satisfied with this product and the support behind it!

Comments: 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.

This software is amazing and is able to handle simple and complex invoicing and project needs

Comments: The open source software allows me to customize the application that suits me and fits around my business.

Pros:

Ease of use. Feature-rich functionalities. Able to handle a wide array of client details. Great community. Excellent customer service.

Cons:

As I have been using this software over the past year I have yet to come across something that was problematic.

The Best Invoicing Program Out There!

Pros:

Everything! This software is so easy to use and has provided me with effortless invoicing to my clients. I don't have a big business so having a free invoicing program that makes me look good is really awesome!

Cons:

Honestly have nothing bad to say about InvoiceNinja

Invoice Ninja handles all my freelance writing and editing business with ease and accuracy.

Comments: It has made business simple for me, and immediate payment easy for my clients. I get paid the same day, because those are the terms I set.

Pros:

I love the payment alternatives, which now include AliPay for my Chinese clients. I also find the user interface incredibly intuitive. Invoice Ninja seems to know what I want.

Cons:

I don't have any objections to Invoice Ninja. I know that there are more complex functions available for larger organizations and more complex billing situations, but they don't obtrude into my simple world.

Great software for professional invoicing

Comments: From Excel-invoicing to Invoice Ninja was a huge leap in professionalization

Pros:

Self-hosted iOS-app Open source Customer Portal

Cons:

I have not been able to integrate my Dutch bank account?

A really handy app for invouicing

Pros:

Great for both large organizations and smaller projects. Using it straightforward and easy .For recurring payments you can also schedule invoicing in advance . You can use it for free .

Cons:

The interface could be a bit more welcoming .Other than that ,I find Invoice Ninja to perfectly meet my needs .

The best invoicing application

Pros:

It is extremely easy to use, and, as a small business, the free edition has everything I need to invoice my customers

Cons:

The translation to Portuguese is sometimes confusing, but that is not a serious problem.

Great for Invoicing and time tracking

Pros:

The invoicing is simple and easy online and mobile Time tracking is easy and I can charge different clients with different hourly rates

Cons:

Can't really use it for accounting since expenses are not (fully) implemented

Invoices with my branding and ability to accept payment with Stripe

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.

Perfect in every way

Comments: Invoicing clients quickly and easily

Pros:

I love how easy it is to quote, convert to invoice, send to client ( with a choice of really nice designs ) and then, the best part, the client can pay online straight away! 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!

Great invoicing solution for a small business wanting a simple affordable solution

Pros:

Does everything I want with the flexibility I want, and new features released regularly. 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.
