Is Zoho Invoice free?

Zoho offers a free plan for one user with a 1,000-invoice annual cap. InvoiceSonic's free generator lets you create and download an invoice with no sign-up (no card); the full app is a 7-day Pro trial, then $12/month.

Does Zoho Invoice work for Australian GST?

Yes, but you configure tax rates yourself. InvoiceSonic auto-formats ATO tax invoices with ABN and GST fields built in.

Can InvoiceSonic replace Zoho Invoice?
