Best Invoice2go Alternatives in Australia (2026): 8 Cheaper Apps Compared

Of the Invoice2go alternatives Australia has in 2026, InvoiceSonic is the best overall, because it bills in Australian dollars and states exactly where its free plan stops. If you only need one compliant tax invoice today, the free generator on this site builds the PDF in your browser with no signup and no invoice limit. If you want expenses and a tax estimate alongside the invoicing, Rounded is Australian-built and costs less per year than most. We ran all eight through one test: what does the free tier actually give you, and where exactly does it stop?

Quick comparison

"Not listed" means exactly that: the tool's own pricing or feature page did not state the feature at the time of writing, so we have not marked it a yes. If reminders or recurring billing are the reason you are leaving Invoice2go, confirm them on a trial before you move your client list across.

How we tested: the free-tier-honesty test. Nearly every app on this list advertises a free plan, and most of them cap it somewhere you will hit in week one. Three questions per tool. What does the free tier actually include? Where precisely does it stop — invoice count, sending, reminders, or features? And when it stops, what does the next step up cost, in which currency?

Here is why the cap matters more than the headline price. A free tier capped at 3 invoices a month is 36 invoices a year. A tradie or freelancer sending 15 invoices a month sends 180 a year, so the entire annual free allowance is gone in ten weeks. In practice it is worse than that, because the cap resets monthly rather than annually: on 15 invoices a month you hit the wall on invoice number 3, in the first week, and then wait 23 days or pay. That is not a free plan. It is a demonstration.

Now the annual cost of those same 180 invoices, at the time of writing. Invoice2go Pro is US$19 a month, which is US$228 a year in US dollars. InvoiceSonic Pro billed annually is A$168, or A$14 a month, and the annual rate is price-locked so it never rises while the subscription is active. Bookipi Starter is US$119.88 a year. Invoice Simple Starter is from US$91.20 a year. Rounded Solo is A$99 a year at the regular price. Zoho Invoice and the generator on this site are A$0. Square charges nothing to subscribe and 2.2% on online card payments instead. Only two of those numbers are in the currency you get paid in.

Who fails the test. Bookipi and Invoice Simple both fail on volume: 3 invoices a month is not a working free plan for anyone invoicing weekly. Rounded and Billdu fail on availability — Rounded has no free tier at all, and Billdu's app is a 7-day trial rather than a free plan. A free PDF generator, ours included, fails on function: it makes the document and never sends it. Square Invoices and Zoho Invoice pass outright. InvoiceSonic passes on honesty but not on generosity: the limits are published and small.

1. InvoiceSonic — Best overall

InvoiceSonic is the closest like-for-like replacement for Invoice2go Pro, and it is the only one on this list that prices the same job in Australian dollars with a rate that cannot drift. Pro is A$19 a month billed monthly, or A$168 a year billed annually, at the time of writing.

On the free-tier test it is blunt: you can create one professional invoice with no sign-up and no credit card, and a free account then gives you 3 saved invoices, 1 tracked email send and 1 automatic reminder a month, with a small InvoiceSonic footer on the PDF. That is where it stops, and the pricing page says so. Pro removes the footer, adds your own logo and colours, and turns on unlimited invoices, recurring invoices, automatic reminders, invoice open tracking, online quote acceptance and email receipts when an invoice is marked paid. Australian tax handling is built in — ABN field, BSB format, 10% GST label — as part of localised support across 19 countries. Clients pay by bank transfer or PayID with no gateway to configure and no InvoiceSonic transaction fee, so a $2,400 job arrives as $2,400.

Pros

• Billed in AUD and price-locked on annual, so the cost of your invoicing stops moving with the exchange rate.
• Recurring invoices, automatic reminders and quote-to-invoice in one click on Pro.
• Bank transfer and PayID with no InvoiceSonic transaction fee, and every historical invoice stays accessible if you downgrade.

Cons

• The free plan is genuinely small: 3 saved invoices, 1 tracked send and 1 reminder a month, and the 7-day Pro trial requires a card up front.
• No native Android app — Android users run the web app from the home screen — and there is no job scheduling, timesheets or materials tracking.

Price: at the time of writing, free plan A$0 with the first invoice needing no sign-up; Pro A$19 a month, or A$168 a year billed annually, which is A$14 a month and saves A$60. Best for: Invoice2go Pro users who want the same automation billed in Australian dollars.

2. Invoice-Generator.com.au — Best free tool

Invoice-Generator.com.au is a free tax invoice generator that produces a finished PDF in your browser with no signup, no watermark, no ads and no invoice limit. It is the right answer when you have cancelled Invoice2go, a client wants an invoice this afternoon, and you have no intention of subscribing to anything first.

On the free-tier test it is the only tool here with nothing to disclose: there is no cap, because there is no account. Every field is pre-set for Australia — ABN, a 10% GST line, and a live compliance checklist that flags a missing ABN before you send. Nothing you type leaves the browser. There are separate free tools for a quote, a receipt and the GST maths. Where it stops is obvious and we would rather state it than bury it: it builds the document and does nothing else.

Pros

• Free forever, no signup, no watermark, no invoice limit — the only uncapped free option here that needs no account.
• The compliance checklist catches a missing ABN or GST line before your client does.

Cons

• No sending, tracking, reminders or payment collection, so anything repeating means retyping.
• No saved customer list, so regular clients are re-entered every time.

Price: free, always. Best for: sole traders sending a handful of invoices a month who want the Invoice2go subscription gone today. See the wider list of free invoice generators in Australia if you want to compare.

3. Bookipi — Best for recurring invoices on a free plan

Bookipi is a simple invoice app that syncs between web and mobile, and it is the closest thing on this list to the Invoice2go experience. Its free plan is unusual because it includes overdue reminders and recurring invoices, features most apps hold back for a paid tier.

Then the free tier stops hard: 3 invoices a month, which is the 36-a-year figure above. So the honest reading is that Bookipi's free plan is a good way to test automation and a bad way to run a business. Starter is US$9.99 per month at the time of writing, which is US$119.88 a year — cheaper than Invoice2go Pro, still in US dollars, so your invoicing cost still moves with the AUD. Professional is US$52 per month.

Pros

• Recurring invoices and overdue reminders on the free plan, which almost nothing else offers for nothing.
• Web and mobile stay in sync, so an invoice started on site finishes at the kitchen table.

Cons

• 3 free invoices a month is 36 a year — a fortnight of real trading for most sole traders.
• Priced in USD, so you have swapped one exchange-rate problem for a slightly cheaper one.

Price: at the time of writing, free for 3 invoices a month; Starter US$9.99 per month; Professional US$52 per month. Best for: part-timers with two or three clients who want billing automated at no cost.

4. Square Invoices — Best if your clients will only pay by card

Square Invoices has the most generous free tier here on invoice count: unlimited free invoices, estimates and automatic reminders, with the client paying by tapping a card link in the email. Nothing stops at invoice number 3.

Where it stops is elsewhere. Estimate auto-convert and milestone payment schedules are Plus only, at AUD $30 per month at the time of writing, and the real cost is the card fee: 2.2% on online card payments. That is $110 on a $5,000 job. A sole trader billing A$90,000 a year with every client tapping a card pays A$1,980 a year in card fees — roughly twelve years of InvoiceSonic Pro on the annual rate. The same clients paying by PayID or bank transfer cost nothing. Square is the right pick when speed of payment is worth 2.2%, and the wrong pick when it is not.

Pros

• Unlimited free invoices with automatic reminders, and no monthly fee at all on the free plan.
• Clients pay from the invoice itself, so the money often lands the same day.

Cons

• 2.2% on online card payments is A$1,980 a year on A$90,000 of card-paid billings.
• Estimate auto-convert and milestone schedules sit behind Plus at AUD $30 per month.

Price: at the time of writing, free, or Plus at AUD $30 per month; 2.2% on online card payments. Best for: sole traders whose clients pay by card and who price the 2.2% into their quotes.

5. Zoho Invoice — Best free plan with no invoice cap

Zoho Invoice is free — Zoho states no cost and no contracts — and unlike a PDF generator it sends the invoice, saves the client and keeps the history. On the free-tier-honesty test it has the strongest answer on paper of any tool here.

Where it stops is not the invoice count, it is everything around it. Zoho Invoice is the front door to a very large product suite, the interface is dense next to a single-purpose app, and real support is a paid-suite affair. Automatic reminders were not stated on the pages we checked, so confirm that before you rely on it. It is fifth rather than higher because a free plan you find hard to use on a phone is not the same as a free plan you actually use, and that is the whole reason people leave apps like Invoice2go in the first place. If you like software, it is the best A$0 on this list.

Pros

• Free with no cost and no contracts at the time of writing, and no cap on how many invoices you send.
• It sends, stores and tracks invoices, and supports 19-plus languages for clients who prefer another.

Cons

• Dense interface and a large upsell suite behind it, with support aimed at paying suite customers.
• Automatic reminders are not listed on the pages we checked, so check before relying on them.

Price: free at the time of writing. Best for: sole traders who want uncapped sending, tracking and a client list for nothing, and can live with a busy interface.

6. Invoice Simple — Best for the simplest mobile invoice

Invoice Simple does one thing: it makes a tidy invoice on a phone in about a minute, with almost nothing to learn. If your complaint about Invoice2go was the price rather than the app, this is the same shape of product at a lower entry point.

Its free tier stops in exactly the same place as Bookipi's — 3 invoices a month, 36 a year — but without the recurring invoices and overdue reminders Bookipi includes for free, which is why it sits below it. Starter is from US$7.60 per month at the time of writing, or about US$91.20 a year, the cheapest paid tier in this comparison; Professional is from US$39 per month. GST handling is generic rather than shaped for the ATO, so check your tax invoice requirements against what it produces. We have a fuller breakdown in our guide to Invoice Simple alternatives.

Pros

• The lowest paid entry price here, from US$7.60 per month at the time of writing.
• Genuinely simple on a phone, with nothing to configure before your first invoice.

Cons

• 3 free invoices a month with no recurring billing or reminders listed on the free plan.
• USD pricing and generic GST handling rather than an ATO-shaped tax invoice.

Price: at the time of writing, free for 3 invoices a month; Starter from US$7.60 per month; Professional from US$39 per month. Best for: sole traders who want the cheapest paid invoicing app and will format GST themselves.

7. Rounded — Best Australian-built alternative

Rounded is built in Australia specifically for sole traders and freelancers, and it covers invoicing, expenses and tax estimates in one place. For anyone who has never set money aside for a tax bill, the estimate is the feature that pays for the subscription on its own.

It fails the free-tier test outright, because there is no free tier: you cannot run a month on it for nothing. What you get instead is the cheapest honest annual number here in your own currency. Solo is $99 a year at the regular price in AUD at the time of writing, which is A$69 a year less than InvoiceSonic Pro billed annually, and it tracks expenses and estimates your tax as well. That is a real reason to pick it over our number one, and if your problem is that you do not know what you owe the ATO, it may be the better buy. Pro is $70 per month regular; promotional pricing varies, so check what year two costs.

Pros

• Australian-built for sole traders, so expenses and tax estimates are shaped for the ATO rather than translated.
• Solo is $99 a year regular in AUD at the time of writing — the cheapest AUD subscription in this comparison.

Cons

• No free plan at all, so there is no way to trial it without paying.
• Promotional pricing varies and Pro is $70 per month regular, so the gap to other apps narrows fast if you outgrow Solo.

Price: at the time of writing, Solo $99 per year regular and Pro $70 per month regular in AUD; promotional pricing varies. Best for: Australian sole traders who want invoicing, expenses and a tax estimate from one AUD-priced app.

8. Billdu — Best only if you want a trial first

Billdu is a small-business invoicing app with a free invoice generator on the web, which is a fair way to see the output before you commit to anything. If you want to look at an invoice before you look at a pricing page, start there.

On the free-tier test it comes last, and for a specific reason: the free generator is not the app, and the app is a 7-day free trial rather than a free plan. So the honest answer to "what does free give you?" is one week. We could not confirm current plan pricing at the time of writing, which matters when the whole point of leaving Invoice2go is knowing what you will pay. Treat Billdu as a shortlist candidate to trial, not a decision you can make from a comparison table.

Pros

• A free web invoice generator lets you see the finished invoice before signing up for anything.
• A 7-day free trial of the full app, so you can test it against a real week of invoicing.

Cons

• No ongoing free plan — after day 7 of the trial it is paid only.
• Plan pricing was not something we could confirm at the time of writing, so budget for it before you migrate.

Price: free generator; the Billdu app has a 7-day free trial then paid plans, check current pricing. Best for: sole traders who want to trial an app properly before choosing, and are not shopping on published price.

What to look for in Invoice2go alternatives

People leave Invoice2go for two reasons: the US dollar bill and a free tier that stops too early. Both are pricing problems rather than feature problems, so shop in that order — currency and caps first, features second.

• The currency on the invoice you receive. A US$19 monthly subscription is a variable expense in your books. InvoiceSonic, Square Plus and Rounded quote in AUD; Bookipi, Invoice Simple and Invoice2go do not.
• Where the free tier stops, in writing. Ask for the number, not the word "free". Three invoices a month is 36 a year; unlimited invoices with a 2.2% card fee is a different kind of cap; and a 7-day trial is not a free plan at all.
• The payment fee, not just the subscription. PayID and bank transfer cost nothing and clear overnight. Card at 2.2% is $110 on a $5,000 job and A$1,980 on A$90,000 of billings — more than any subscription here.
• Whether it produces a real Australian tax invoice. Where you are registered for GST it must carry the words "Tax invoice", your identity and ABN, the date, a description of what was supplied, the GST amount, and the buyer's identity or ABN for sales of $1,000 or more.
• Whether you need GST switched on yet. Registration is compulsory at A$75,000 of turnover, and rideshare and taxi drivers must register regardless. Read the GST registration threshold before turning 10% GST on in any app.
• What happens to your invoice history if you stop paying. InvoiceSonic keeps historical invoices accessible on downgrade and deletes nothing. Confirm the same before you move years of records into anything.

Which one should you choose?

Price the next twelve months, not the free tier. At 180 invoices a year and at the time of writing, that is A$0 with the generator on this site or Zoho Invoice, A$99 with Rounded Solo, A$168 with InvoiceSonic Pro billed annually, US$91.20 with Invoice Simple Starter, US$119.88 with Bookipi Starter, and US$228 to stay on Invoice2go Pro. Square costs nothing to subscribe and A$1,980 if A$90,000 of that work is paid by card.

• If you want Invoice2go's automation without the USD bill → InvoiceSonic Pro on the annual rate.
• If you are cancelling today and need an invoice out this afternoon → the free Australian tax invoice generator, and email the PDF.
• If you want uncapped sending and a client list for A$0 → Zoho Invoice, and accept the dense interface.
• If your clients will only pay by card → Square Invoices, with the 2.2% written into your pricing.
• If you want your tax estimated as well as your invoices sent → Rounded Solo at $99 a year regular AUD.

When not to use InvoiceSonic or a free generator. If unlimited free invoicing is the requirement and you will not pay anything, InvoiceSonic is the wrong tool: its free plan stops at 3 saved invoices, 1 tracked send and 1 reminder a month, while Zoho Invoice is free with no cap and Square Invoices gives unlimited free invoices with automatic reminders. If you are on Android and want a native app on the home screen, InvoiceSonic does not have one. If tax and expenses matter more than automation, Rounded is Australian-built and $99 a year regular for Solo at the time of writing, less than InvoiceSonic Pro billed annually. And once you have staff, a bookkeeper and a quarterly BAS, none of these are the answer — that is accounting software territory, Xero or MYOB, and you can read our broader comparison of the best invoice apps in Australia first. A free PDF generator, ours included, is the wrong choice the moment the same invoice has to go out more than once.
