INV24 alternative

An INV24 alternative that helps you get paid

INV24 has made simple online invoices since 2008 and has a free version, which is why many small South African businesses start there. Rebill covers the same ground and goes further on getting paid: card payment links through local gateways, WhatsApp delivery and automatic reminders.

Why INV24 users move to Rebill

Clients pay from the invoice: A Paystack, Yoco, PayFast or iKhokha link on every invoice, with the money settling in your own account.
WhatsApp, not just email: On Premium the invoice arrives in your client's WhatsApp from Rebill's business number, and reminders can follow the same way.
Quotes accepted online: Clients accept a quote with one click, and it becomes an invoice without retyping.
Up to 5 users on Premium: Share the work with a partner, bookkeeper or staff member at no extra cost.

When INV24 is the better choice

You only email PDFs: If your clients pay by EFT and you never need a payment link or WhatsApp, INV24's free version may be all you need.
You keep stock in the invoicing tool: INV24 has a products and inventory database built in.
You invoice in several countries: INV24 runs editions for around 30 countries and languages; Rebill is built around South Africa.

Free invoices are the easy part

Making a neat invoice is quick in any tool, INV24 included. The slow part for a small business is the money: the client who means to pay but never gets round to the EFT, the reminder you forget to send, the proof of payment you have to check against the bank. That is where Rebill spends its effort, with a payment link on every invoice, reminders that go out on schedule and payments matched to invoices when they arrive.

Quick answer

What is a good INV24 alternative in South Africa?

Rebill, which publishes this page, is a South African alternative to INV24. Both have a free plan and a paid plan with recurring invoices, but Rebill adds card payment links through Paystack, Yoco, PayFast or iKhokha and sends invoices on WhatsApp from a business number. INV24 suits businesses that only email PDF invoices, keep inventory in their invoicing tool or invoice in several countries.

Frequently asked questions

Is INV24 free?

INV24 has a free version covering invoices, quotes and estimates, customers and products. Its Premium plan, R149 a month on its South African pricing page, adds invoice tracking and recurring invoices. Rebill is free for 10 invoices a month and R99 a month for Premium.

What is the main difference between INV24 and Rebill?

Getting paid. INV24 focuses on making and emailing invoices, quotes and statements, and its pages do not name a South African card payment provider or WhatsApp delivery. Rebill puts a Paystack, Yoco, PayFast or iKhokha payment link on each invoice and can send it on WhatsApp from a business number.

Which is cheaper for recurring invoices?

Both put recurring invoices on the paid plan: INV24 Premium is R149 a month and Rebill Premium is R99 a month. Rebill Premium also includes WhatsApp delivery with 20 messages a month, online card payments and up to 5 users.

Can I see whether a client opened my invoice?

INV24 shows who has viewed invoices and estimates, which is a genuinely useful feature. In Rebill, clients open each invoice through a link where they can also pay, and card payments are matched to the invoice automatically.

How do I switch from INV24 to Rebill?

Put your customer list in a spreadsheet, import it into Rebill from a CSV and set your next invoice number so your numbering carries on. To bring past invoices across too, put them in a spreadsheet laid out like Rebill's import template and import them under Invoices, Import history, with their numbers, dates and payments.
