The comparison
These five apps are the closest US invoice makers for freelancers and one-person businesses. QuickBooks Online was left out so the chart stays invoice-app vs invoice-app. A grey label means the feature exists only on a higher plan, as an add-on, or with a documented cap — not a clean yes or no.

How to read the rows
- Starting price. The lowest published list price to start. Wave and Zoho Invoice are free. Fjordbill is free to use, with optional Pro at $7.99 a month or $49.99 a year. Invoice Simple starts at $6.99 a month for three invoices. Invoice2go starts at $7.99 a month with a small invoice cap. FreshBooks starts at $23 a month for five clients.
- Unlimited invoices on the free plan. Fjordbill and Wave document this. Zoho Invoice is free but caps you at 500 invoices a year. Invoice Simple offers a 14-day trial and two invoices on the web before a paid plan. Invoice2go and FreshBooks require a paid plan after their trials.
- No account, and invoices on your device. Fjordbill does not require a Fjordbill account or cloud. The other five are account-based services that store your books on their servers.
- Recurring invoices and reminders. Fjordbill includes both in Pro (you review reminder drafts before they go out). Invoice2go recurring invoices are Premium. Wave recurring invoices and automated reminders need Pro or Wave Payments. Invoice Simple reminders start at Plus.
What this table does not claim
Several fair-sounding rows were left out because they could not be verified for every column, including US sales tax fields, deposits (Invoice2go only lists installment payments as coming soon), and offline use. Fjordbill also exports CSV files for QuickBooks, Xero, and Wave, and can send paid invoices to SovereignLedger; those are not in the chart because the other apps do not all offer the same kind of export.
