5 invoices per month · Unlimited quotes · Expense capture · No credit card required

Everything on this page changes at 5 invoices a month.

Below it, everything is free, permanently. Above it, here is what paid unlocks.

Up to 5 invoices/month

Free

  1. 01Unlimited quotes and expense capture, no matter how many invoices you send.
  2. 02Auto-chase on your first 3 invoices, ever, and 1 recurring series stays active - both free, permanently.
  3. 03No credit card, no trial clock.

From $19/mo

Paid

  1. 01Pro ($19/mo) lifts both caps: unlimited invoices, unlimited auto-chase, unlimited recurring series.
  2. 02Every plan includes some voice-to-invoice drafts (3 a month on free, 10 on Pro). Growth ($59/mo) lifts that to 100 a month and adds a lead capture widget and running more than one business from one login.

What the free plan covers

Clear limits, clear upgrade path, and no dead-end trial language.

5 invoices / month

Enough for light monthly billing, side gigs, and early-stage sole trader work.

Unlimited quotes

Quote first, invoice later. Useful for tradies and freelancers who want to capture work before the bill is due.

Expense capture

Snap a receipt photo and log expenses with NZ categories. GST-aware totals and CSV export - free on every plan.

GST-ready invoices

Create GST-compliant invoices once you are registered, with the key tax details in place - free on every plan.

Who the free plan is for

Sole traders and tradies

Good if you invoice a few jobs a month and want a professional process without paying for a full stack of extras.

Freelancers and side hustles

Handy when you need quick invoices, proper payment wording, and a clear path into broader invoicing software for sole traders later.

Not ideal if you are already past the starter stage
If you need unlimited invoices, unlimited automated reminders, the AI layer (voice-to-invoice and Offsider), or a lead capture widget, jump to pricing to compare Pro ($19/mo) and Growth ($59/mo) instead of stretching the free plan.

Free, Pro, or Growth: know the line

Stay on free if...

You send a handful of invoices each month, want unlimited quotes and expense capture, and your first 3 free auto-chased invoices cover your reminder needs.

Upgrade to Pro ($19/mo) when...

Your invoice volume rises, you want reminders running on every invoice rather than just your first 3, or you need more than 1 recurring series at a time.

Step to Growth ($59/mo) when...

You want more voice invoices than the 10 a month on Pro - up to 100 a month on Growth - dictate the job, AI drafts it, you review and send - or to chat with Offsider, Invio's AI helper, to draft invoices and quotes. Or you want to capture website leads automatically, or you run more than one brand and need a multi-business switcher.

Need more than the free plan? Upgrade when the volume grows

Compare the free plan with Pro, then choose the workflow that matches your invoice volume.
