Comparison
WaffleInvoice vs Invoice2go
Invoice2go (now part of BILL) is a long-running mobile-first invoicing app aimed at tradespeople and solopreneurs. The pitch is: invoice from your phone, on a job site, in a couple of taps. WaffleInvoice is web-first - it works on every device (including a phone browser) and treats the desktop as a first-class workflow, not an afterthought. This page is for service operators choosing between an app you primarily live in on your phone and a hosted web tool that follows you across devices.
Quick verdict
Who should pick which?
Pick WaffleInvoice if...
You want a free forever tier with unlimited invoices, branded invoices without an upgrade, a client portal, SMS reminders, and a tool that works equally well in a browser and on a phone.
Pick Invoice2go if...
You invoice almost entirely from your phone, want a native iOS/Android app with receipt scanning, and the BILL ecosystem (AP/AR automation, bill pay) is useful to you.
Why we built WaffleInvoice
We built WaffleInvoice for service businesses that already do most of their admin on a laptop or in a browser tab, and want the phone to be a fallback - not the only good experience. Invoice2go is genuinely strong if you invoice from a truck, a job site, or your phone full stop. If you spend any meaningful time on a computer doing quotes, recurring billing, or sending estimates, the web-first model wins out.
