Incusia vs Invoice Simple
Switch if you send more than a few invoices a month and want unlimited invoices at a locked $9, instead of a 3 or 10 invoice cap.
Stay if you live in the phone app, photograph receipts on the job, and Essentials or Plus still covers the month.
Invoice Simple charges $21.99 per month for unlimited invoices, and their entry plan caps you at 3 invoices per month. Incusia gives you unlimited invoices at $9 per month, with the price locked in writing forever.
Unlimited invoices on any paid plan
Starter is $9 per month with no invoice cap. You do not wait for a Premium tier to send the fourth invoice of the month. Send what the work requires.
Price locked in writing
The rate you sign up at stays the rate you pay. That promise sits in our Terms of Service, not in a marketing footnote you have to hunt for.
Cancel with one click
Cancellation lives in your dashboard. No email to a support queue. No phone call. No retention script. Cancel anytime with one click. Keep full access until the end of your current billing period.
Invoice Simple’s published plans, checked 14 October 2026, split invoicing into three paid tiers. Essentials is $6.99 per month and caps you at 3 invoices. Plus is $14.99 for 10. Premium is $21.99 and removes the cap. On 3 July 2026, Plus rose from $13.49 to $14.99 and Premium rose from $19.99 to $21.99.
If you invoice more than three clients in a busy month, Essentials is not a real plan. It is a trial that happens to bill you.
Three invoices covers a side project. It does not cover deposits, progress bills, and a final on the same job. Ten sounds generous until you add corrections and a second client who pays in stages. The cap is there to open the upgrade screen.
Incusia Starter is $9 per month with unlimited invoices. Less than half of Invoice Simple Premium. You move to Pro at $29 for automation (reminders, recurring, currencies, late fees), not for permission to send invoice number four.
Invoice Simple Premium is $263.88 a year. Incusia Starter is $108. The first-year gap is $155.88. Over five years that is $779.40, assuming no further Invoice Simple increases.
Many Invoice Simple subscriptions also pay an app-store cut. Incusia bills on the web through Stripe, so there is no Apple or Google percentage on top of your $9. You still pay card processing when a client pays. You do not pay a store tax on the software itself.
Independent reviews of Invoice Simple repeatedly describe cancellation as harder than signup. People report extra steps, unclear paths, or app-store rules they did not expect when they tapped Subscribe. Treat cancellation as a feature, not a footnote.
A large share of Invoice Simple customers subscribe through the Apple App Store or Google Play. Invoice Simple’s website is not the billing owner. Apple or Google is. Cancellation follows the store’s settings, not a button on the marketing site.
Incusia bills through Stripe on the web. Cancellation is one click in your dashboard. No email, no phone call, no retention script that blocks the button. You keep full access until the end of your current billing period.
Switching tools does not cancel an app-store subscription by itself. End Invoice Simple in Apple or Google settings first. That extra step is what trips most people up.
You can bring a client list, past invoice records, and enough payment history to keep conversations with clients intact. Export what Invoice Simple will give you (CSV or PDF), then recreate active clients in Incusia. Reissue open invoices with a note that the new invoice replaces the old one. Clients get an email with a payment button. They do not need a portal account.
If Invoice Simple still charges Apple or Google after you start Incusia, you will pay both for a month. Open iOS Settings > Apple ID > Subscriptions, or Google Play > Payments & subscriptions, and end it there. Confirm the next renewal is gone before you assume you are done.
A one-line note on the first Incusia invoice (“This invoice replaces Invoice Simple INV-1044”) stops the “did you bill me twice” email. Keep the old PDF for your records.
Most people finish in a weekend: create the account, add business details, enter the clients you still bill, send the next invoice. Keep Invoice Simple only until outstanding invoices are paid or reissued. If you want to see the PDF first, try our free invoice generator. It does not migrate data. It shows you the look.
Receipt images and expense notes may not export cleanly. Incusia is invoicing software, not a full expense app. If receipt scanning is the center of your week, read where Invoice Simple is strong below. If invoicing and getting paid is the center, the move is a client list and a few PDFs. The same phone-first buyer is on Invoice2go.
Invoice Simple is a mobile-first product from a company that has been in the category for years. Scale shows up in the help center. It also shows up when you need a person: public reviews often mention chatbots or store support instead of someone who can refund a double charge. That is how large app businesses tend to run support, not a claim that nobody at Invoice Simple ever replies.
Incusia support is email to me@abassinvoice.com. Starter gets a human reply within 24 hours. Pro and Lifetime get 12 hours. We are not a 200-person success team. If you need phone support in six languages, we are not that desk. If you need someone to read the invoice number you pasted, we are.
The table below uses Invoice Simple Premium at $21.99 per month because that is the published Invoice Simple plan with unlimited invoices, checked 14 October 2026. Incusia Starter is the published Incusia plan with unlimited invoices. Neither column includes taxes, app-store variants, or promotions. Annual totals assume twelve monthly charges at the listed rate.
On Invoice Simple Plus at $14.99 you still hit a 10-invoice wall. Incusia Starter at $9 undercuts Plus and removes the cap. On Essentials at $6.99, Incusia costs $2.01 more per month and removes the 3-invoice ceiling. A few dollars for unlimited sending, a rate locked in the Terms, and web billing you can cancel without a store.

Invoice Simple has been in the market longer and has a polished mobile app with strong receipt scanning and expense tracking. Their app store ratings are generally positive for the core mobile experience. If your primary workflow is snapping photos of receipts on the go and generating quick invoices from your phone without needing much desktop functionality, Invoice Simple's mobile app remains one of the more mature options in the space.

We built Incusia specifically for people who were tired of watching their invoicing tool raise prices year after year while quietly removing features.

FAQ
Premium is $21.99 a month for unlimited invoices, checked 14 October 2026. Essentials stops at 3 invoices and Plus at 10. Incusia Starter is $9, unlimited, and the rate is locked in the Terms. The gap is the mobile product, not a larger invoice allowance.
Plus rose from $13.49 to $14.99, and Premium rose from $19.99 to $21.99. Those are the only dated increases stated on this page. Incusia locks the rate you sign up at, so a later list price does not move an existing account.
Cancel in the store, not on Invoice Simple’s website. On iPhone that is Settings, your name, then Subscriptions. On Android it is Google Play, then Payments and subscriptions. Do that before you assume the charge has stopped. Their help pages are the authority for any in-app step.
No. Incusia is a website that works in the phone browser. You can send an invoice and see if it was opened. Invoice Simple’s apps are the better tool if you photograph receipts on site. A laptop workflow does not need the native app.
Plus is $14.99 a month for 10 invoices, checked 14 October 2026, which is more than Incusia Starter at $9 with no cap. Plus can be cheaper than Premium if you never pass 10. It is still a cap, and deposits in a busy month can hit it.
Export the client list and add the people you still bill. There is no one-click importer. Reissue open invoices so the payment button is ours. Old receipts can stay as PDFs. A normal freelance list is an afternoon, not a migration project.
The page we checked does not say the price is locked. Plus and Premium already rose on 3 July 2026. Incusia writes the signup rate into the Terms for that account. New customers can see a different list price later. An existing account does not move with it.
Keep it if the phone app, receipt photos, and expense tracking are the job, and 3 or 10 invoices a month is enough. That mobile product is more finished than a phone browser. Switch when the cap, not the camera, is what you notice.
The trial lasts 7 days. Then you are on Starter at $9, Pro at $29, or Lifetime at $99. There is no client cap on the way in. After the week you are on the paid plan you chose, at the rate locked for that account.
Most people finish in a weekend: the account, the business details, the clients you still bill, then the next invoice. Cancel Invoice Simple, including the app store if that is how you pay. Leave an open invoice there until it is paid, or reissue it.
A cap on how many invoices you may send is a different product from a flat monthly price.

I looked at Invoice Simple because a limit on the number of invoices changes the job in the middle of a month. I invoice often enough that the fourth invoice should not be a pricing event. I recheck their prices when the page I cited is no longer current.
