Questions
Does Invoice Simple have a free plan?
As of Sep 2026 their pricing page and comparison blog describe a 14-day free trial rather than a permanent free plan. Paid plans start at US$6.99/month for up to three invoices.
Is Kitebill cheaper after a year?
If you would need Invoice Simple Premium (US$21.99/mo or US$219.99/yr) for unlimited invoices, Kitebill Pro at US$29 once is lower in year one. Over a full year every Invoice Simple plan (from US$69.99/yr) costs more than Pro. A monthly Essentials plan only costs less if you need it for four months or fewer. Invoice Simple does include online payments, estimates and native mobile apps that Kitebill doesn't have, so pick based on the features you need.
Can Kitebill collect card payments like Invoice Simple?
No. Kitebill lists your bank/Payoneer/Wise/PayPal details on the PDF; the client pays you outside the app.
