Invoice Ninja review

Invoice Ninja packs more invoicing controls into a low price than most tools here. The free plan covers five clients with unlimited invoicing, 11 invoice templates with your logo, online payments, auto-billing and recurring invoices, deposits and partial payments, a client portal, projects with billable time and expense tracking. Ninja Pro costs $14 per month or $140 per year and removes the client cap and the "Created by Invoice Ninja" footer, adds fully customizable invoice designs, email through Gmail or your own SMTP, a branded portal URL, bulk email, reports, US state sales tax calculation and automatic late payment reminder emails. Enterprise starts at $18 per month for one or two users and adds team access. Every paid plan has a 30-day money back guarantee. The interface exposes many settings, so expect a longer setup than Wave or Zoho Invoice, but the result is very configurable.
