It's good for small businesses

3.0 10 months ago

Pros:

If one have a small business and does not live in a country where a certified invoicing software is needed, then this solution is a good "go to"

Cons:

Since it is not a certificated solution, it cannot be used in many countries where certified invoicing software is mandatory

Zoho Saves me time

5.0 3 months ago

Comments: Overall I really love Zoho. I was able to brand it with my colors and logo. I have auto invoicing, recording of payments and thank you receipts. Such a blessing because there are fewer human errors, I spend less time invoicing and more time tutoring! I get notified when invoices go out and are paid. Lovely!

Pros:

I like that I was able to set it up myself with little initial knowledge of invoicing software.

Cons:

I don’t like that once you set up a customer, you cannot change the monetary unit they are invoiced in once you have sent one invoice. I wanted to change someone from a yuan to USD but I’d have to delete and re-add them with a new email. That doesn’t work well when you have to ask a client/customer to get a new email just for you.

Zoho Invoice helping new businesses

5.0 2 months ago New

Comments: Smooth, efficient and clear. The fields are particular so there's no time for confusion while looking for the blank.

Pros:

It's very friendly. There are no extra lines to click, and it is not overwhelming, like Zoho CRM. With this one, Zoho Invoice, I can do an invoice in less than 5 minutes. And the best it's that is free! So, kudos to Zoho for helping new businesses.

Cons:

I have to input the information about the clients, but it would be pointless without it. Overall, I'm not complaining about Zoho Invoice.

5.0 2 months ago New

Comments: Brilliant system, especially since it's free and contains so much functionality.

Pros:

Automation of invoices and ability to add taxes based on your region.

Cons:

Integration with bank accounts, however this would then start becoming quite an indepth tool.

Another amazing solution from Zoho

5.0 last year

Pros:

You get all the invoicing features you need as a freelancer, for free. You can do even more with paid features, but I found what I need with the basic features, and I'm thankful this software exists.

Cons:

The branding customisation is limited to the logo, and the invoices are watermarked. If that doesn't keep you from using this software, you'll be happy with the rest of the features.

Great Software for Sending Professional Invoices

5.0 6 months ago

Comments: Overall, I have used Zoho Invoice for years and is a great tool for the busy entrepreneur needing to send professional invoices quickly.

Pros:

Invoices are customisable to your own brand, very professional looking. Was easy and simple to set up recurring invoices with multiple online payment methods to enable clients different ways to pay. Easy to search for previous invoices and option to record expenses too.

Cons:

Support is a little slow to respond which would be my only criticism of this invoicing tool. I personally found support to be very helpful but they can take 2-3 days to initially respond.

Don't Let the Name Fool You

5.0 last year

Comments: Love it. So economical and packed with features. Love Zoho

Pros:

Even though Zoho Invoice creates and processes invoices (which is our only main use) it has many other features such as time tracking, estimates, and expenses. Simple software but, at the same time, not so simple that it does not fit our needs perfectly. Not to mention also, the suite of Zoho business solutions. They have thought of everything a business needs

Cons:

I really cannot think of anything that I do not like about this program.

ZOHO is not for free even though say it is

4.0 12 months ago

Comments: Overall I do enjoy using Zoho because I am a small business and I need some help with my invoicing and accounting.
Last year Zoho told me that they are going to offer their services for free and I still see that on the website but I was debited by Zoho on the 14h of January????

Pros:

Zoho really helps me make my invoices look professional and it is user friendly.

Cons:

I am unable to link my bank account to zoho invoice because I am based in South Africa. The exchange rate is horrible so the amount I need to pay per transaction for the app that is suggested to connect my bank is too expensive. I can't afford the dollar to South African Rand exchange rate per transaction. SO That means I need to recon everything manually. Also if a student were to pay and use a different reference would Zoho be able to pick that up?

Zoho Invoice for Small Business Needs

5.0 9 months ago

Comments: So far so good! Awesome features for any small business.

Pros:

Our invoicing needs are met without high costs. The scheduled and repeat invoice system is perfect for our business.

Cons:

In the free version, you are unable to use multiple currencies. Unfortunately, for that feature, Zoho requires an upgrade, which is understandable.
