Redline vs Invoice2go: more than the invoice.

Redline is free to start: the chat, contacts, job pipeline and calendar cost $0, and invoicing turns on with Solo at $29 a month. Invoice2go, a BILL company, is a mobile-first app for invoices, quotes and payments. If invoices are all you need, compare it closely.

The short version

Redline starts at the first call, not when the job is done: the lead goes in the pipeline, the visit goes on the calendar, the quote gets drafted from a photo, and at the end the invoice is built from the job you already have. Free covers everything before the invoice. Solo adds invoices, card pay links on your own Stripe account and alerts when a bill goes overdue.

Invoice2go is a mobile-first invoicing, estimates and payments app for small businesses and independent contractors. You create invoices, quotes and purchase orders from a phone, tablet or computer and they stay in sync, and it has an integrations directory with accounting and payment tools. The pages we could check focus on invoicing; for scheduling and anything beyond the paperwork, see Invoice2go's own site.

We couldn't confirm Invoice2go's current plans and prices on its own site, so we don't list them here. See Invoice2go's pricing page before you compare costs.

Friday afternoon: who still owes you

Who owes me?

$3,460 across 3 invoices:

Mike Doherty, deck stain, $1,280, sent 16 days ago

Sara Lin, fence repair, $940, sent 8 days ago

Paul Ricci, gutter guards, $1,240, sent 4 days ago

Draft a friendly nudge to Doherty.

Here's a friendly draft to Mike Doherty about the $1,280 for the deck stain. To include his pay link, copy it from the invoice in Money and paste it into the draft. Then tap Approve & send.

Invoices and overdue tracking are on Solo and up. Customer reminders are emails you approve; Redline never sends one on its own.

Questions contractors ask

Is Redline's invoicing free?

No. Invoicing starts on Solo at $29 a month, with a 7-day free trial on the web (14 days on yearly billing). Free covers the chat, contacts, pipeline, calendar and quotes. See invoicing.

How do customers pay a Redline invoice?

By card, on a branded pay link that opens in any browser. The money goes to your own Stripe account and Redline adds no fee on top of Stripe's processing. Bank transfers aren't on the pay page yet.

Does Redline connect to my accounting software?

Not directly. Reports has an Export for QuickBooks button that saves a CSV file, plus a plain CSV. There's no live sync.
