Frequently asked questions

Is Hnry cheaper than MYOB?

Hnry starts at 1% of income (capped at AU$1,500/yr); MYOB starts at AU$29/mo (Lite). Hnry has no genuine free plan. MYOB offers 30-day free trial.

Does Hnry handle Australian GST and ABN better than MYOB?

For ATO-compliant GST: Hnry = yes, MYOB = yes. For native ABN field: Hnry = yes, MYOB = yes. If you operate in Australia and either tool falls short here, InvoiceSonic handles both natively — and it's free.

Which is better for freelancers — Hnry or MYOB?

Most freelancers want fast invoicing without paying for full accounting. Between these two, MYOB wins more categories overall. But if you're a freelancer who just wants ATO-compliant tax invoices for free, InvoiceSonic is purpose-built for that workflow.

Can I switch from Hnry to MYOB easily?

Do not assume a one-click migration. Confirm each product's current export and import formats, then test contacts, opening balances, unpaid invoices, tax codes, attachments and reconciliations before cancelling the old account. Keep statutory records outside both systems.

Should I use Hnry or MYOB for invoicing only?

Both tools include more than invoicing. If invoicing is your only need, a dedicated generator can be faster and more focused than a full accounting subscription.

Is there a free alternative to both Hnry and MYOB?

Yes — InvoiceSonic lets you create and download an invoice without signup. Its account plans have separate limits and pricing, so compare current official plans before deciding.
