The only invoicing tool built specifically for Irish and UK sole traders — with WhatsApp delivery, automated scheduling, and Stripe payment links from €9/month.
No other invoicing tool in the Irish market sends invoices via WhatsApp. Your clients actually see them.
Trade software charges €32–62/user/month. Xero starts at €29. AutoInvoice starts at €9 with no invoice cap and no per-user pricing.
Irish VAT rates, EU-hosted data, GDPR compliant, designed for how Irish sole traders actually work. Not a US product adapted for Europe.
Solo & small business · ~€8–€41/mo
Invoice2go's biggest weakness is its invoice cap: the Starter plan allows just 30 invoices per year — a sole trader with 4 regular clients hits that in 7 weeks. The Professional plan raises this to 100/year. Truly unlimited invoices require the Premium plan at ~€41/mo. Recurring invoices still require manual approval rather than firing automatically. There is no WhatsApp delivery channel. No MTD compliance, no late payment escalation, and it's a US product (owned by BILL) not built for Irish or UK VAT rules.
Trade teams · ~€32–41/mo
3.5× the price of AutoInvoice Solo. Full job-management suite designed for trade businesses with employees — quoting, team scheduling, supplier integrations. Overkill (and overpriced) for a sole trader who just needs invoices sent on time.
Trade teams · ~€44–62/mo
5× the price of AutoInvoice Solo. Built for trade teams with 100+ supplier integrations, drag-and-drop team scheduling, and job costing. If you don't have employees, you're paying for features you'll never use.
Small trade contractors · Free–€30+/mo
Free tier is generous (30 jobs/month) but has no Irish-specific features — no VAT threshold tracking, no Revenue compliance, no WhatsApp delivery. Designed for the Australian/NZ market and adapted for UK. More complex than you need for simple recurring invoicing.
General SME · Free–€10/mo
Invoicing is bolted onto a banking app — requires a Revolut account, no WhatsApp, no quotes, no dedicated invoicing workflow.
Trades & retail · Free–€10/mo
Payment-first platform — invoicing is a secondary feature. No automated scheduling, no expense tracking, no WhatsApp.
Accountants & SMEs · €29–€75/mo
3x the price of AutoInvoice Solo. Built for accountants, not tradespeople. Complex setup, steep learning curve, overkill for sole traders.
General SME · €10–€35/mo
US-designed product adapted for Irish market. Accounting-first, not invoicing-first. The cheapest plan limits you to basic features.
Self-employed · Free
Completely free, but no automation, no WhatsApp, no Stripe links, no expense tracking. You get what you pay for.
