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?

Both Hnry and MYOB let you export client lists and invoice history (usually as CSV). Migration takes an afternoon for most small businesses. If you're considering switching anyway, it might be worth evaluating InvoiceSonic as a free alternative for invoicing while keeping your accountant's tool of choice for bookkeeping.

Should I use Hnry or MYOB for invoicing only?

Both tools are accounting-first platforms; their invoicing modules are a subset of what they do. If invoicing is your only need, a free dedicated invoice generator like InvoiceSonic is usually faster, cheaper, and more focused — without paying for bookkeeping, payroll, or inventory features you won't use.

Is there a free alternative to both Hnry and MYOB?

Yes — InvoiceSonic is free for unlimited Australian-compliant invoices with no signup required for PDF download. You can run it alongside or instead of paid accounting platforms.
