Pricing questions, answered.
Six things people ask before signing up. If yours isn't here, drop us a mail.
Yes, entirely self-serve. Upgrade instantly from your billing settings (prorated for the rest of your period), or downgrade with no charge today, taking effect at your next billing date. No "talk to sales" and no email required.
We send a friendly heads-up on day 11. If you haven't upgraded by day 14, your account is locked, but your data, clients, invoices and reports stay safe and downloadable. Upgrade whenever you're ready.
No. No setup fee, no onboarding fee, no surprise charges. The number on the page is the number you pay.
Send invoices and quotes directly to your client's WhatsApp. The message is pre-written. Review it, edit if you want, and hit send. No credits, no extra integrations.
None at all. Invo handles the maths (VAT, subtotals, aging) automatically. If you can fill in a client's name and a price, you can send a professional tax invoice. No bookkeeping background required.
Yes. If you have 10+ users, custom integrations, or specific compliance needs, we'll put together something that fits. Drop us a mail at info@getinvo.co.za.
