InvoiceCraftly vs InvoiceSimple, feature by feature
Signup and pricing
InvoiceSimple lets you export a single web PDF without an account, but saving documents, sending them, or accepting payments requires signing up and, beyond a limited trial, a paid plan. InvoiceCraftly needs no account for any of that — creating, saving in your browser, and exporting all stay free with no trial clock running.
Document types
InvoiceSimple covers invoices, estimates/quotes, and receipts, but has no credit note. InvoiceCraftly adds credit notes alongside invoices, quotes, estimates, and receipts, all in the same editor, which matters if you ever need to issue a correction against a previous invoice.
Mobile and receipt scanning
InvoiceSimple is built mobile-first: its app can scan a paper receipt with your phone camera and log it as an expense on the spot, which suits invoicing from a job site. InvoiceCraftly is browser-based rather than an installed app, and doesn’t attempt receipt scanning — it’s built for building and exporting a document, not tracking expenses.
Payments and reminders
InvoiceSimple integrates Stripe and PayPal for online payment, with automatic reminders once you’re on a paid plan. InvoiceCraftly instead lets you add a reviewed payment link or a SEPA/EPC QR code directly to the document — no gateway integration or reminder automation, since you send and follow up yourself.
If you invoice from your phone on the job and want receipt scanning plus automated reminders, InvoiceSimple’s app is built for that — once you’re past the free single PDF. If you want a free, no-account browser editor with Nordic company lookup, InvoiceCraftly is the better fit.
Choose InvoiceCraftly if:
You want a no-account browser tool instead of installing a mobile app and creating an account.
You want Nordic company lookup and SEPA/EPC QR payments, which InvoiceSimple doesn’t offer.
You want quotes, estimates, receipts, and credit notes in one editor without a subscription.
You want PDF, PNG, SVG, or CSV export instead of PDF only.
Choose InvoiceSimple if:
You invoice from your phone and want built-in camera receipt scanning and expense tracking.
You want recurring invoices with automatic Stripe/PayPal payments and reminders handled for you.
You’re fine paying a monthly plan once your invoice volume grows past the free tier.
