Questions
How many invoices can I send with PaidKind?
Up to 150 invoices a month on PaidKind’s single plan, with reminders for all of them. There is no lower tier with a three or ten invoice cap. Drafts, resends and reminders do not count towards the limit, and you can contact support if you ever need more.
Which should I pick if I mostly work from my phone?
Both work on a phone. Invoice Simple is built around its mobile app and suits quick invoices and estimates on the go. PaidKind works in any phone browser, with iOS and Android apps in preview, and suits people who want reminders that follow up for them without picking a higher plan.
Which one should I choose?
Pick the tool that matches the job you need done most. If you mainly send invoices and spend too long chasing payments, PaidKind keeps that simple. If you need more, such as accounting, card payments or estimates, compare the other tool’s current plans on its own website before deciding.
