Invoice Link vs Invoice2go
Invoice2go is a solid mobile-first invoicing app owned by BILL, aimed at freelancers and side-hustlers. Invoice Link is built specifically for tradespeople — plumbers, electricians, HVAC, landscapers.
The short version
Which one is right for you?
Choose Invoice Link if…
You're in the trades and want features built for that work — Street View on clients, property data lookup, text-from-your-own-number, ACH at 0.8% capped at $5. You value an independent product over a portfolio app owned by a large fintech.
Choose Invoice2go if…
You're a freelancer, consultant, or service provider outside the trades, you like Invoice2go's 15+ year track record, and you appreciate being part of a larger BILL ecosystem for future accounting/payroll needs.

Where Invoice Link wins
What we do better than Invoice2go
Built for trades, not freelancers
Invoice2go is a great tool for freelancers, side-hustlers, and generic service businesses. We're plumbers, electricians, HVAC, landscapers — our defaults, our copy, our photos, our features all assume you work in the field with your hands.
Street View + property data
Type a customer's address. See the house. See the square footage, year built, lot size. Invoice2go doesn't ship this because their audience is freelancers in coffee shops. We ship it because our audience is in a truck.
ACH bank transfer at 0.8% capped at $5
Invoice Link's ACH lane saves your customer real money on big-ticket jobs — a $10,000 invoice settles for $5 instead of $290 on a card. Invoice2go's ACH support is limited and varies by tier. For contractors running larger jobs, this stacks up fast.
3-day trial, then everything included
Invoice2go doesn't offer a persistent free tier — just a trial. Invoice Link Free is free forever: 5 invoices/month, unlimited clients, full payments, text invoices from your phone. Free is free.
Where Invoice2go wins
What Invoice2go does better
Brand longevity + scale
Invoice2go has a decade-plus of history and is backed by BILL, a public fintech. If “used by many people over many years” is important to you as a buyer signal, Invoice2go has the track record.
BILL ecosystem access
Invoice2go is part of BILL's broader fintech suite — BILL Accounts Payable, BILL Spend & Expense, BILL Divvy cards. If you expect to grow into those services, Invoice2go's a natural on-ramp. Invoice Link stays focused; we're not part of a larger stack.
Broader audience beyond trades
If you're a consultant, designer, lawyer, photographer, or any service business that isn't a trade — Invoice2go's template library and feature framing fit better than ours. We're happy to say: we're not for you.
