SumUp Invoices

SumUp Invoices is invoicing software for businesses that need to issue invoices and quotes, manage repeat billing, and accept online payments. It fits best for solo operators and small businesses with routine billing; its free plan is generous on volume, while the paid plan targets businesses working across currencies or languages.

Overview

The Free plan combines unlimited invoices and quotes with recurring invoices, customer records, and automatic payment reminders. That makes it a capable starting point for businesses that want to handle regular billing without a subscription. Web, iOS, and Android access lets users work from a browser or mobile device.

The upgrade is primarily about presentation and reach: Invoices Plus adds multi-currency invoicing, customization, 14 invoice languages, and bank transfers to any bank account. One point to weigh is that SumUp Invoices supports cards as payment methods, so businesses whose customers rely on other ways to pay should consider whether that arrangement suits them.

Key features

• Recurring invoices: Included in Free, so repeat billing does not by itself require a paid subscription.
• Quotes and related records: Free includes quotes, credit notes, delivery notes, and customer management. This supports more of the billing workflow than invoice creation alone.
• Payment reminders: Automatic reminders are included at no cost, a practical aid for businesses managing follow-ups themselves.
• Multi-currency and localized invoices: Invoices Plus adds multi-currency invoicing and 14 invoice languages, making it the more suitable tier for businesses billing customers across currency or language boundaries.
• Mobile and browser access: The service supports web, iOS, and Android, giving users a choice of desktop browser or mobile device.

Pricing

Free: free, billed monthly. It includes unlimited invoices and quotes, recurring invoices, quotes, credit notes, delivery notes, customer management, and automatic payment reminders. This is the strongest fit for businesses with straightforward billing that do not need the paid tier’s invoice options.

Invoices Plus: £7 a month, billed annually. It includes unlimited invoices and quotes, multi-currency invoicing, invoice customization, 14 invoice languages, and bank transfers to any bank account. Choose it when those added invoice capabilities justify an annual billing commitment; otherwise, Free retains the central billing functions without the subscription.

A 30-day trial is offered. The paid plan’s annual billing term matters for anyone comparing it with a monthly subscription, while the free plan has no invoice or quote volume cap in its stated inclusions.

Platforms

SumUp Invoices runs in a web browser and has iOS and Android apps. That range works for businesses that want to prepare or manage invoices from either a computer or a phone.

Who it's for

SumUp Invoices is a sensible choice for solo operators and small businesses that send invoices and quotes regularly, need recurring billing, and value automatic reminders without taking on a subscription. Businesses invoicing internationally by currency or language have a clear reason to consider Invoices Plus. It is less compelling for businesses that need payment methods beyond cards.

Pros and cons

• Pros: Unlimited invoices and quotes are included in Free, with recurring billing, related documents, customer management, and automatic reminders.
• Pros: Invoices Plus adds multi-currency invoices, customization, 14 invoice languages, and bank transfers to any bank account.
• Cons: Multi-currency invoicing, customization, and the 14 invoice languages require the paid tier.
• Cons: Payment methods are cards only, which may not suit businesses whose customers expect other payment options.

Alternatives

Verdict

Choose SumUp Invoices if you want unlimited invoices and quotes, recurring billing, and automatic reminders on a free plan, with mobile and browser access. Invoices Plus is worth weighing for multi-currency invoicing or its additional language and customization options. Look elsewhere if card-only payment methods do not fit the way your customers need to pay.
