A simpler Invoice Simple alternative
Both apps make clean invoices and estimates on your phone. The big differences are the free plan, what each price includes, and what you need to pay for to get client signatures and unlimited invoices.

When Quotes is the better fit
- You send more than three invoices a month and don't want to pay $21.99 for unlimited.
- You want the client to sign the quote before you start, without paying for a top plan.
- You quote first and invoice later. In Quotes, one tap turns an accepted quote into the invoice.
- You bill the same clients every month. Repeating invoices make and send themselves on Pro.
- You're in Canada and want HST, GST and PST worked out for each province.
When Invoice Simple may suit you better
- You want clients to pay by card from the invoice today. Quotes doesn't take card payments yet.
- You only send one or two invoices a month and already use their app.
Common questions
Can I move my clients over?
Yes. Add a client once and Quotes keeps their details, history and what they owe. Every quote or invoice you send also saves the client for next time.
Is the free plan really free?
Yes. Five quotes and invoices a month, PDFs with your tax, client signatures on your phone and saved clients, with no card needed.
