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.

FAQ

Frequently asked questions

Invoice2go and Invoice Link look similar — what's actually different?

Surface-level, both are mobile-first invoicing apps. The difference is focus: Invoice2go targets “Self-Starters, Go-Getters, Side-Hustlers” — freelancers, consultants, small-scale service providers. Invoice Link is built specifically for plumbers, electricians, HVAC techs, and landscapers. Street View, property data, trade-specific defaults — that's our niche.

Is Invoice2go more established?

Yes. Invoice2go has been around since 2009 and is owned by BILL, a public fintech company. We're newer but independent. If “been around forever” is a deciding factor, that's Invoice2go's.

How does the trial differ from theirs?

Neither of us offers a true “free forever with useful features” tier in the Zoho Invoice sense. Invoice2go does free trials; Invoice Link Free includes 5 invoices/month with unlimited clients and full payment acceptance. Past 5 invoices/month, you're on Pro — $8.99/week.

Can my customers pay easily?

Both of us ship public pay pages with cards, Apple Pay, Google Pay, and PayPal. Invoice Link adds ACH (0.8% capped at $5) and buy-now-pay-later via Affirm/Klarna/Afterpay through Stripe. For a $10,000 invoice, ACH saves your customer $290+ in card fees.

Can I import from Invoice2go?

Yes. Invoice2go exports client lists as CSV. Email the export to hello@invoicelinkapp.com and we'll bulk-import for you. Phone contacts also import directly from your device at signup.
