Zoho Invoice is a completely free product. It has no contracts, no ads, and no hidden fees
It's great when you need precise billable hour tracking across multiple clients with different rates, integrated invoicing, and detailed project breakdowns. I would have liked to see regular security audits and/or a SOC report given the nature of the information that's being documented in the product. However, that may not be a huge deal depending on your organization.
Zoho Invoice streamlines invoicing, payments, and customer interactions, improving financial health and saving time, money, and energy. It ensures billing accuracy, reduces errors, and streamlines client billing by tracking goals and streamlining invoice generation. Zoho Invoice focuses on automation and invocation management to efficiently complete multiple tasks. Zoho Invoice has all the features needed for an invoicing system, but it could be better at integrating with other CRM platforms and simplifying taxation.
Integration with project management tools, like Trello, that makes the project management easier to do because you have metrics and statistics grouped on just one site.
Metrics of expended time per user and per project makes decisions easier You can have all the data to support changes or decisions in the company, like rentability of certain type of products offered.
The Everhour team is always evolving, so they always ask how you feel about everything and if anything is not working as expected. You are always surprised with new improvements that you didn't think could be useful but that end up adding value to your business.
Expenses tracking system - if it will allow to track all fixed INs and OUTs inside the project (and track invoices based not only on time tracking but generated manually) it can replace our financial tool or make it more automated
Time tracking, though easy enough, could be simplified. Having the ability to change default settings when entering time could save a few keystrokes.
The ability to automatically take unbilled hours and pull into a new invoice seems to be there, but it is a bit cumbersome. It also defaults to too much detail. Having the ability to customize would be great.
The ability to auto-BCC yourself on all invoices sent out would be a nice feature.
Everhour's overall usability is definitely one of its key strengths. The UI is intuitive and clean, making time tracking feel less "technical" than other solutions we've tried. Our entire team, including less tech-savvy contractors, found it easy to use.
Zoho invoice has changed my expectations of what services like this can be. Providing something as simple as invoicing for small businesses who are struggling to find places to cut costs at such a reasonable rate is life-changing for some businesses. I know it was for mine. We saved so much that we did not have to cut in other areas. That has helped to keep us in business and grow it as well.
In the almost 2 1/2 years we have had to contact support 1 time and it really was for a feature request. Their support team responded quickly and told us that the feature was going to be added in the next few months. We have had no support issues ever. I have never had a time tracking solution that has had no issues until Everhour.
Originally, I was using Harvest and really liked its features. However, the Harvest invoicing system only pushes data into QBO, but doesn't check / sync invoice numbers or update for payment status, so it was resulting in duplicate invoice numbers and extra effort to update status in both places. So, I started looking for another solution. I tried a LOT of products. Everhour addressed the following issues I encountered from various other services:
Bi-directional sync of invoices so records in QBO & Everhour always match (without having to load a bunch of extraneous records to either system)
Start-stop timer
Set budgets by project and client to easily monitor project status & profitability
Allow all team members to track to projects they're following, even if not assigned to them
Clean, modern interface (if I'm using it every day, it better be pretty and easy to use)
Ability to edit time, and limit others' ability to edit their time (though we don't restrict time editing for our users)
Doesn't require use of Projects in QBO in order to sync properly
Doesn't try to take over invoicing or break QBO functionality
Google Drive stored my invoices in one accessible location but required more time and maintenance. I didn't want to invest the time into building out sheet functions to carry over figures across sheets, so I researched invoicing options. I am already a fan of Zoho services, so it was an easy decision to try out their Invoicing site. Same login, the same level of support, free trial. No risk! I was pleased to find the solution on my first try.
We're more aware on the investement of hours required in a project, not just the estimated hours but the actual time invested by every member of the team
Everhour is a good tool to adequate the pricing to the actual investement of hours needed and to bill the clients when the actual time invested exceeded the estimated time
The members of the team (and i'm speaking for myself too) are now more aware of how much it takes to complete a task. Having this in mind help us to organise our everyday and to know when we are free to take new clients
Zoho Invoice has created a positive impact by allowing us to successfully organize and track online payments and invoices.
Zoho Invoice has saved us both time and money by making our invoicing business processes automatic and effortless.
Zoho Invoice has created a positive return on our investment many times over. It's increased business functions to help generate more profits in shorter periods of time.
