Pick InvoiceAdept if you want WhatsApp send

Pro (£7.99) sends the invoice on WhatsApp with a Stripe pay link, on web and Android. Stripe processing for UK cards is 1.5% + 20p. We do not claim a zero platform fee beyond that Stripe rate. Free is genuinely 5 invoices a month — no Stripe, no WhatsApp, no CIS.

Pick InvoiceFree if you need unlimited free + CIS on free

InvoiceFree is the better fit if you will not pay, need more than 5 invoices a month, and want CIS on a free plan. InvoiceAdept puts CIS on Pro+ at £12.99. InvoiceFree adds 1% on top of Stripe; InvoiceAdept uses Stripe's UK card rate of 1.5% + 20p.

InvoiceAdept keeps digital records you can export. See CIS invoices, the CIS invoice template, WhatsApp invoicing, and Making Tax Digital records.
