    Invoice Maker ▸ Invoice Simple — Scam and liars Avoid this platform. They will refund and give back money to customers. On the 13.99 they give you 10 invoice per month then you have to pay for more. Not to mention taking a percentage of each invoice and they’re also taking another percentage just to transfer it to…

    …or direct bank transfer. The app itself is fine for basic invoicing. The moment I accepted my first payment through their built-in payment processing, everything went wrong. A single $1,500 invoice ended up costing me almost $150 in fees — and my customer was double-charged on their card too. I was hit with four…

    Invoice Maker ▸ Invoice Simple — The worst app I’ve ever used. The invoicing process is actually simple, but they charge outrageous fees and they hold your money hostage for way too long, which is really bad for business. I’d use literally anyone else and if you see this app run the other way.

    Invoice Maker ▸ Invoice Simple — Fees are outrageous They should get fined for adjusting and upcharging their fees to their customers. You will get billed an annual fee of $99.00 on this app. But 2 months later they will bill you for another $199.00 annual fee. Rip off DO NOT DOWNLOAD!

    Invoice Maker ▸ Invoice Simple — Price gouging I used this app at $6.99 for a few years, then they decided to make more money and charged me $10.99 per month. Now they’ve imposed USAGE LIMITS and are charging me $20 per month. PRICE GOUGING CRIMINALS. I’m done after this
