Frequently asked questions

Is Invoice2go cheaper than Stripe Invoicing?

Invoice2go starts at AU$8.99/mo (Starter); Stripe Invoicing starts at 0.5% on paid invoices (on top of Stripe fees). Invoice2go offers limited free plan. Stripe Invoicing offers free to create; fees when paid.

Does Invoice2go handle Australian GST and ABN better than Stripe Invoicing?

For ATO-compliant GST: Invoice2go = yes, Stripe Invoicing = limited. For native ABN field: Invoice2go = yes, Stripe Invoicing = limited. If you operate in Australia and either tool falls short here, InvoiceSonic handles both natively — and it's free.

Which is better for freelancers — Invoice2go or Stripe Invoicing?

Most freelancers want fast invoicing without paying for full accounting. Between these two, Invoice2go 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 Invoice2go to Stripe Invoicing easily?

Both Invoice2go and Stripe Invoicing 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 Invoice2go or Stripe Invoicing 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 Invoice2go and Stripe Invoicing?

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.
