Pros

The integration is good and it has at least 90% of the features any small to medium business would want. It has a generous free tier so you can invoice your first few clients before subscribing.
Automation workflow it's just simply great to save time. All the connections with the CRM works perfectly and makes you to save lots of time.
The most important feature which I like is the branding ,you can put your own logo and customize invoices accordingly. Second most important feature which I like is integration with stripe and Paypal.

Pros

The ability to scan and classify, assign categories to each document is really good. It makes the work quicker and fun.
I love how I can directly scan my receipts into Quicken Home and Business. I love that it is so easy to use and that I can choose a plan that fits my needs/budget.
I look forward to future updates and improvements. Like i said, its an amazing idea, and i love it now that i know what the limits are.

Cons

My problem with zoho invoice lies in the loss of operability when the internet fails, reducing the productivity of the product and forcing us to have alternative plans to supply this failure.
As a freelancer, invoicing can be time-consuming, messy, and frustrating.
I don't like the reporting tool that i find a bit hard to use.

Cons

Eventually, the support team gave up on the problems and we were obliged to revert back to dealing with the corporate management. The data was lost and was never recovered.
Perhaps someone will either buy this company, fire all the developers, or do their own similar program. Personally I consider it the worst purchase I ever made.
Customer support is quick to blame me for the issues. I lost an entire months work (that was scanned and shredded, and is no longer visible in my neat files. The items are there, the scan is gone.).

Zoho has helped me a lot and is worth every single cent. I'll recommend it to any small or big companies.

Pros

User-friendly and very neat

Would like to have a better bug tracker. Something like Jira

Zoho Invoice

Invoicing on the go!

Reviewed 6 years ago
Pros

Their free plan almost gives you everything that any business needs to generate and keep track of the invoices and payments. Neat and simple UI give you the extra edge over the pricey competitors. The invoice template can be customised to different formats based on the requirements.

Cons

Free users are limited to 5 and cannot add more than 5 clients.

Unfair Business

Reviewed 3 months ago

I have used Neat for many years and approximately 3 years ago I upgraded my subscription to be able to use the QuickBooks connection desktop, my subscription was renewed in February 2024 and on June 15 2024, Neat removed the QuickBooks connection, so I requested to make a downgrade my subscription because I don't see the point in paying for a plan that I don't need, and they informed me that they will not refund my plan because it has been more than 30 days since my subscription was renewed, so Neat stopped providing a service in the middle of my subscription and I am forced to pay for a service that I am not receiving, this doesn't make sense, maybe this is a way for the company to make money. In the end, they want to offer me a discount on my renewal in February 2025, this is ridiculous because if I don't renew my subscription I have paid for a service I didn't receive.

Pros

Good invoice cloud storage and ease to use

Cons

removes features after you sign up for an annual subscription and does not refund money for features that are no longer provided

Vendor response

Unfortunately, we learned this year that the company we work with to offer the QBD feature would no longer support or offer this tool. In May and June of this year, we proactively reached out to inform our users about the end of the QBD feature via two emails. Our team helped you set up a downgrade on your account to a cheaper plan. In February your plan will renew on this cheaper plan, but you'll still have access to all these the other wonderful Neat features until then. As such, the team added a future credit to your account for the QBD discontinuation, which would be applied when your account renews in February. We understand your concern regarding the timing of the credit. Therefore, as a gesture of goodwill, we have removed the $50 future credit and instead processed an immediate $50 refund. You will receive this refund within the next 4-9 business days. Your plan will renew at the full price of the downgraded plan in February. We thank you for being a long-time Neat customer.
