Invio vs Hnry
These are two different answers to two different questions. Hnry takes a fee from each payment into your Hnry Account and takes the tax side of being self-employed off your hands. Invio is invoicing software at a flat monthly price, and leaves your tax to you or your accountant. So the question is not which is better. It is whether you want the tax done, or the invoicing sharp.
We make Invio. Read our side with that in mind. Every statement about Hnry below links to Hnry's own published page.
