Invoice Maker: Outrageous Invoice Processing Fees
Users are frustrated with Invoice Simple due to high fees and poor payment processing experiences. Many feel that the service is deceptive and detrimental to their business operations, as it holds funds for extended periods.
33 different people have complained about this since 02 Aug 2023, most recently on 14 Sept 2026.
- “Fast forward to today I now have to pay $25/mo for the essentially the same features plus receipt tracking and ability to accept payments.”
- “The essential and plus plans are unusable for most small businesses as they only allow you to send up to 3 and 10 invoices respectively.”
- “⚠️ Warning to others: After 4+ years as a loyal customer — during which they already increased prices several times — they have now suddenly cut my plan to only 10 invoices unless I pay $300/year (was $150).”

Would pay…e this app I used this app for years….. till the price got too high. I only send maybe 5-10 invoices a month and paying up to $150 year makes the invoice too expensive to make it worth the cost. I wish they had kept it simple when I first used it and it cost $50 or less a year. This is really ment for large business…

Questions about this idea
- Is Outrageous Invoice Processing Fees a startup idea?
- Not directly. These are complaints about a product or service people already use, and the fix belongs first to that provider. The page shows what is frustrating users and how badly — not an open market to start a company in.
- How many people have this problem?
- 33 different people described it independently, in 33 mentions, the earliest from 02 Aug 2023 and the most recent from 14 Sept 2026. The quotes, with dates and links to the originals, are in the Evidence section.
- Is this problem getting worse?
- Status: steady — no change the counts can show. 0 people raised it in the last 30 days and 1 in the 30 days before; the status compares its share of everything collected from the same source, so collecting more or less cannot create a trend.

Invoice Simple's sudden change to limit invoices to just 10 per month has caught many off guard, especially those who have been loyal for years. We've heard from 26 people who feel this unexpected cap is unfair, especially when it doubles their subscription cost. How are you managing your invoicing needs now that this limit is in place?
