Invoice2go alternative
An Invoice2go alternative that is a workflow, not just a form.
Invoice2go and Invoice Simple are quick at making a PDF, then the free tier runs out at a couple of invoices a month and reviews point to renewal shock and unreliable delivery. StitchInvoice checks the invoice before it sends, follows up on its own, and gets a quote signed first, with 10 free sends a month.
Credit where it is due
What Invoice2go does well.
For a tradesperson or a solo operator who wants to make an invoice on their phone between jobs and send it in under a minute, Invoice2go and Invoice Simple are fast, simple, and mobile-first. If that is the whole need, they do it well.
Where people move on
Three recurring points.
The free plan is barely a plan
Roughly two invoices a month on the free tier means you are on a paid plan almost immediately, and reviews describe steep annual renewals and repeated price increases from there, with transaction fees layered on top.
It sends, but it does not follow through
There is no check that the invoice matches what the client needs to pay it, no approval step on a quote, and reviewers report invoices going missing and no confirmation of delivery. Chasing is back on you.
Nothing is remembered about the client
Every invoice starts fresh. The PO number, the billing email, the currency, the terms this client always needs live in your head, and a wrong one is a delayed payment.

Which one fits
A decision, not a pitch.
Invoice2go still fits if you
- Work on-site and want a fast phone-first invoice
- Send a low, steady number and the price works for you
- Do not need approvals, follow-up, or client memory
StitchInvoice fits if you
- Want the invoice checked before it sends, and chased after
- Send quotes that need a client to approve them first
- Want a real free plan and a flat, predictable price
Questions
Common questions.
How is StitchInvoice different from Invoice2go?
Invoice2go and Invoice Simple are fast form-fillers: pick a template, fill it in, send a PDF. StitchInvoice is the workflow around that — the invoice is checked against the rules saved for that client before it goes out, follow-up is automatic and stops the moment payment lands, and a quote can be signed off before it becomes an invoice.
What is the free plan actually like?
StitchInvoice Starter is $0 with 10 document sends a month, all five document types, a client directory, live preview and PDF export, and free accountant access. Invoice2go's Starter tier is roughly 30 invoices a year — about two a month — which runs out fast.
I keep hearing about price increases and renewal shock.
Reviews of Invoice2go frequently mention steep annual renewals and repeated price rises, plus transaction fees on top. StitchInvoice is a flat monthly price with no annual lock-in, and payments run through your own Stripe so the only processing fee is Stripe's.
Some reviews mention lost invoices and no delivery confirmation.
That is a recurring complaint about Invoice2go. StitchInvoice tracks each document's status and delivery, and follows up automatically, so an invoice that has not been seen is not something you have to notice yourself.
Can I move my data over?
Your client list, yes. Export it as a CSV and upload it to the importer; columns are read for you with a preview before anything is created.
Is Invoice2go ever the better choice?
If all you need is to knock out an invoice on your phone at a job site and move on, a lightweight mobile app like Invoice2go or Invoice Simple is genuinely quick. StitchInvoice is for when the job is getting the thing approved, sent correctly, and actually paid.
Also comparing
Send it right, then let it chase itself.
A real free plan, a flat price, an invoice checked against the client's rules, and follow-up that stops when the money lands.
