Free and truly helpful accounting platform

5.0 4 weeks ago New

Comments: Great! Simple process for creating invoices, tracking expenses and keeping on top of my company's accounting.

Pros:

Absolutely FREE to use! It is a very user-friendly platform with easy to get started user experience. It succeeds in meeting all the needs of managing the very basics of accounting like creating and sending a quote, an invoice, and more.

Cons:

It does not have a lot of functionalities like Zoho Books nevertheless, it acts as a great free accounting platform with many of the fundamental functions covered.

It's good for small businesses

3.0 11 months ago

Pros:

If one have a small business and does not live in a country where a certified invoicing software is needed, then this solution is a good "go to"

Cons:

Since it is not a certificated solution, it cannot be used in many countries where certified invoicing software is mandatory

Zoho Invoice - Easy to Use and Super Flexible

5.0 2 months ago

Pros:

Easy to use, simple to get set up with a custom business name and auto-fill details, lots of features that I've not even explored yet - including payment portal!

Cons:

PDF generation of invoices is a little convoluted for what I consider to be my number one most used feature. It's also a little annoying to set up invoices for time - I work as a musician and often have to bill people for a "call" or for a few minutes, which is annoying. Maybe if the software could be expanded to make billing people for rented equipment easier too? It was also quite hard to add on bank details to the invoice.

Zoho Saves me time

5.0 4 months ago

Comments: Overall I really love Zoho. I was able to brand it with my colors and logo. I have auto invoicing, recording of payments and thank you receipts. Such a blessing because there are fewer human errors, I spend less time invoicing and more time tutoring! I get notified when invoices go out and are paid. Lovely!

Pros:

I like that I was able to set it up myself with little initial knowledge of invoicing software.

Cons:

I don’t like that once you set up a customer, you cannot change the monetary unit they are invoiced in once you have sent one invoice. I wanted to change someone from a yuan to USD but I’d have to delete and re-add them with a new email. That doesn’t work well when you have to ask a client/customer to get a new email just for you.

Alternatives Considered: PayPal and Venmo

Reasons for Switching to Zoho Invoice: The fees weee less to my client when they used the online payment services.

Zoho Invoice; the best so far.

5.0 11 months ago

Comments: I've tried Quickbooks and FreshBooks but I am sticking with Zoho Invoice for its simplicity and the price is right. Freshbooks was disappointing.

Pros:

Easily produces professional invoices and reports for the light user. Faster, simpler and cheaper than the competition. Highly recommended.

Cons:

Recurring invoices could be easier. I need to set a manual schedule with a changing number of hours (items). Have not figured that out yet.

Invoicing Construction Guys Can Do

5.0 11 months ago

Comments: I like the ease of using it. I like all Zoho products. I used to use Quickbooks and Google products and figured they'd be easy for me to use, but they were expensive and I needed an assistant to use them. I am just a small business owner doing construction work and Zoho makes it easy for me to get my invoices out and get paid.

Pros:

My assistant set up my Zoho invoice for me and even though I am a construction worker, working on site, it is still easy enough for me to use and I can send the invoices out myself without having to pay my assistant.

Cons:

I like everything about it, there's not one thing I would change. It's easy to use.

Zoho Invoice is Great!

5.0 5 months ago

Comments: Zoho Invoice has been a great asset to our business. They're the way to go if you want an invoice platform with a almost seamless interface, without paying top dollar.

Pros:

Zoho Invoice makes it easy to craft all different types of invoices for my clients. This platform also gives detailed analytics of the invoices, including who's paid and who hasn't paid. On top of everything, this platform is free to use and is on par if not better than similar paid platforms due to the wide array of customization and other features. What's also helpful is the fact that I can craft invoices in different languages. Our restaurant gets a lot of Japanese foreigners so this is a great help.

Cons:

There have been times in the past when the platform would experiences glitches, including not being able to sign in.

A Freelancer's Dream Come True

5.0 8 months ago

Pros:

Zoho Invoice is a free online invoicing software that is perfect for small businesses. With this software, you can send invoices with ease from mobile or web and get paid quickly. You can choose from a ton of beautiful and customizable templates, add your logo and even automate recurring invoices. You can also send clients reminders for past-due balances and provide multiple payment options for customers to pay you securely. My favourite feature is sending quotes for clients to approve and then converting the document to an invoice to bill them at a later date. I also love that I can track the time I spent on a project and bill them per hour. You can conveniently start a timer with your mobile device, laptop or Apple Watch and time will be logged in a calendar format. You can also use Zoho Invoice to automatically scan expense receipts and calculate your travel expenses with the GPS and see your mileage. It features a dashboard where you can keep track of your business performance with insightful charts and graphs. Your customers also have access to a self-service portal where they can view their invoices or quotes and make payments.

Cons:

You can’t produce financial statements.

Creating invoices digitally

5.0 3 months ago

Comments: It allows you to create invoices digitally and follow up on them, taking care of the entire invoicing system, from the mailing and notification for payment, to the registration of the payment.

Pros:

Excellent tool with which it is possible to create digital invoices from customized templates, once you create your template you can easily generate a large number of invoices, organize and edit them if necessary, facilitating the work of invoicing to improve business.

Cons:

On the billing system although it is very complete it can be confusing for some new users, it can be difficult to integrate with other platforms, and integration with Zoho tools increases the cost, as these other tools are treated as a premium feature.

ZOHO is not for free even though say it is

4.0 last year

Comments: Overall I do enjoy using Zoho because I am a small business and I need some help with my invoicing and accounting.
Last year Zoho told me that they are going to offer their services for free and I still see that on the website but I was debited by Zoho on the 14h of January????

Pros:

Zoho really helps me make my invoices look professional and it is user friendly.

Cons:

I am unable to link my bank account to zoho invoice because I am based in South Africa. The exchange rate is horrible so the amount I need to pay per transaction for the app that is suggested to connect my bank is too expensive. I can't afford the dollar to South African Rand exchange rate per transaction. SO That means I need to recon everything manually. Also if a student were to pay and use a different reference would Zoho be able to pick that up?
