# 6 best AR automation platforms for QuickBooks in 2026 > Six platforms compared on the criterion that decides a QuickBooks shortlist: how many stages of order-to-cash the tool runs itself, and what it prints as a price. Prices and ratings verified August 2026. By the Accounting.Events editorial team. Updated August 30, 2026. **The six best AR automation platforms for QuickBooks in 2026 are Paidnice, Chaser, Invoiced, Biller Genie, AR Collect and Upflow, ranked on how many stages of order-to-cash each one runs itself and on what it publishes as a price. Prices from $29.95 a month.** Paidnice suits a QuickBooks Online business that wants fees, statements and plans applied per customer group. Chaser suits a team that wants multi-channel chasing with credit checks. Invoiced serves ERP-scale billing. Biller Genie leads on the US payments stack. AR Collect is the QuickBooks Desktop option. Upflow serves analytics-led teams. Centime markets an order-to-cash product embedded in QuickBooks, but no price, rating or feature mechanic could be confirmed from a primary source, so it is named here without figures. **Video:** [Ranked: The 7 Best AR Automation Platforms for QuickBooks in 2026](https://youtu.be/HbPB40BTkvA). The video version of this comparison is embedded on the page. **Related guides:** [the best accounts receivable software guide](/reviews/best-accounts-receivable-software/), [the best AR apps for QuickBooks](/reviews/best-accounts-receivable-software-quickbooks/), [the best AR tools for Xero](/reviews/best-accounts-receivable-software-xero/) - **29.1 days** Average wait for a US small business to be paid, June 2026 ([Xero Small Business Insights](https://www.xero.com/us/resources/small-business-insights/)) - **8.3 days** How far past due the average US invoice actually settles ([Xero Small Business Insights](https://www.xero.com/us/resources/small-business-insights/)) - **38.7 vs 24.1** Days to be paid, New York against California ([Xero Small Business Insights](https://www.xero.com/us/resources/small-business-insights/)) Xero Small Business Insights, June 2026. ## App or platform: which of these two shortlists you are actually on Two guides on this site answer the same search and they are not written for the same reader. The [QuickBooks AR app guide](/reviews/best-accounts-receivable-software-quickbooks/) covers tools that sit on the QuickBooks Online file and chase, charge and post back to it. This page covers platforms that also handle the money. A platform takes the card and the ACH payment, holds the merchant relationship, reconciles what arrives, and in one case here prices a percentage of everything it collects. That is a different commercial arrangement from a subscription, and it is the reason the two shortlists need separating even though five of the six tools appear on both. The test is where the workload sits. If invoices are simply not being followed up, an app between $29.95 and $99 a month closes that gap and nothing on this page will close it better. If the workload is card and ACH acceptance, surcharging, reconciliation and a portal customers actually use, the payment stack is the purchase and the chasing arrives with it. The same vendor can be the right answer on one page and the wrong one on the other. Read whichever guide matches the problem you can name, not the one that matches the search you typed. ## Why the payment stack decides this shortlist Four of the six here move money and two do not. That single split does more to the annual bill than any capability on the comparison table. A subscription is a fixed cost you can forecast twelve months out. A take rate is a variable cost tied to revenue, and it keeps rising after the software has stopped doing anything new. Biller Genie is the one on this page that charges one, at 0.50% of invoices collected on top of $49.95 a month, capped at $1,500 a month. The second cost never appears on a price list. A platform that runs its own merchant services decides who processes your cards, which sets your effective rate on every transaction for as long as you stay with it, and that rate is usually larger than the software line above it. So the order of questions on this page is deliberate. What does the subscription cost, what does the percentage add at your volume, and what does the merchant arrangement lock in. The features come after all three. ## Six platforms by stage coverage and payment model: the table Paidnice and Chaser are the two tools here that apply a late fee themselves with a documented calculation. Biller Genie applies one on a fixed 30-day cycle, AR Collect applies none, Upflow points the job back to your ERP, and Invoiced does not document the mechanic. | | Paidnice | Chaser | Invoiced | Biller Genie | AR Collect | Upflow | |---|---|---|---|---|---|---| | Revenue fit | $500k to $20m | £4m and under on the entry tier, tiers to £200m | Not published | Not published; the bill scales with the value collected | Not published; the price band is set by open-invoice count | ARR bands, under $10m to $50m and above | | From (monthly) | US$69 | £199 | Not published | $49.95 plus 0.50% collected, capped at $1,500 | $29.95 up to 500 open invoices | Not published | | QuickBooks connection | QuickBooks Online, two-way | QuickBooks Online | QuickBooks Online, Desktop and Enterprise | QuickBooks Online and Desktop | QuickBooks Online and every Desktop edition | QuickBooks Online, one-way, polled every 5 minutes | | Other ledgers | Xero.

Paidnice Best for QuickBooks Online businesses that want the whole cycle automated, $500k to $20m ### What is it best for? For a QuickBooks Online business that wants reminders, fees, statements, payment plans and reconciliation running as one policy set, with no implementation project. - **Fits:** Businesses on QuickBooks Online or Xero from about $500k revenue, with the sweet spot between $1m and $20m, with or without a credit controller - **Regions:** United States, Canada, United Kingdom, Australia, New Zealand, South Africa - **Entry cost:** US$69/mo on Essentials, covering 150 invoices, 600 emails and up to 2 team members; Pro from US$99/mo with unlimited users and no per-seat fee. As at August 2026, verify current pricing - **Rated:** 5.0 from 82 [Xero App Store](https://apps.xero.com/uk/app/paidnice) reviews, verified 20 August 2026; 4.9 on [Capterra](https://www.capterra.com/p/254868/Paidnice/), review count not published - **Runs on:** QuickBooks Online, Xero, Stripe, Pinch Payments, CloudDepot, HubSpot, Pipedrive, Zapier. NetSuite, Sage Intacct, MYOB and Dynamics 365 Business Central on the Custom plan only - **Late fees and interest:** Yes. Two charge types run on the same customer group: an invoice late fee charged per overdue invoice, and a statement interest charge levied per customer against the whole overdue balance. Both are raised on the ledger as Draft or Approved - **Does best:** Running every stage on one ledger connection: delivery, chasing, fees, statements, plans, portal and reconciliation Connect QuickBooks Online and Paidnice evaluates every invoice against your policies, then runs the sequence: reminders from your own authenticated domain by email and SMS, automatic late fees and interest, scheduled statements including consolidated parent accounts, payment plans, escalation through manual task workflows, a branded customer portal, and reconciliation back to the ledger. Customers cut their average wait for payment in half, within 30 days. Statement interest recalculates at the moment the statement sends rather than at the last policy run, so the figure the customer opens is accurate that morning. The charge is calculated on the balance net of any credit on the account, and compounding is on by default, so simple interest is the deliberate choice. Policies sit under customer groups, so a wholesale group, a retail group and a disputed-accounts group can each run a different rule at the same time. **Limitations with Paidnice.** Native to QuickBooks Online and Xero only, with no QuickBooks Desktop connector, which rules it out for a Desktop file entirely. Beyond those two ledgers it is a Custom-plan build rather than a connector, which is where a QuickBooks business goes when it outgrows QuickBooks. It does not process the payment itself, so the merchant arrangement stays yours and the take rate on this page does not apply to it. Some payment features differ between the two ledgers, and the entry tier covers two team members. On the rating criterion, Chaser’s 4.98 from 374 reviews beats the 5.0 from 82 above. ## 2. Chaser Best for reminder-led collections at scale, up to £4m turnover on the entry tier ### What is it best for? For a finance team with a named credit controller that wants multi-channel chasing and Creditsafe credit checks running from one system. - **Fits:** Businesses with a named credit controller. The entry tier is priced for £4m turnover and under, and the tiers run to £200m, though Chaser’s own pricing page states £100m - **Regions:** UK-registered, trading since 2014, sells worldwide - **Entry cost:** Compact £199/mo for turnover to £4m with 4 users; Core £599/mo to £10m; Complete £899/mo above that. As at August 2026, verify current pricing - **Rated:** 4.98 from 374 [Xero App Store](https://apps.xero.com/uk/app/chaser) reviews; 4.5 from 68 on [G2](https://www.g2.com/products/chaser/reviews); 4.9 from 45 on [Capterra](https://www.capterra.com/p/157101/CHASER/reviews/), where the base is mostly 2020 to 2022 - **Awards:** Xero App Partner of the Year 2023 - **Runs on:** QuickBooks, Xero, Sage 50, Sage 200, Sage Intacct, Sage Business Central, NetSuite, Dynamics 365, AccountsIQ, SAP, HubSpot, Gmail, Outlook - **Late fees and interest:** Yes. Four calculation types, recalculated daily, but one global rule only, which cannot vary by schedule or customer group. No fee is raised on payment-plan or partially paid invoices, and fee line-item sync is Xero-only - **Does best:** Multi-channel chasing from the team’s own mailbox, with Creditsafe credit checking and monitoring in the same tool Chaser has been in the market since 2014 and sends reminders from the team’s own Gmail or Outlook mailbox, adding SMS, letters, automated calls, a payer portal and integrated collections through a partner network. Its consolidated collections inbox keeps a growing team on the same thread history. Its in-app credit report is supplied by Creditsafe and carries a credit score with a recommended limit, the customer’s payment score, credit event history, and Companies House filing and director data, with continuous monitoring and a late payment predictor on top. **Limitations with Chaser.** Fee configuration is a single account-level rule, so it does not scale with the number of stages the platform runs, and no fee is raised on payment-plan or partially paid invoices. Fee line-item sync reaches Xero only. Statements go monthly, on a fixed day, there is no bank-file cash application, and Compact caps the team at four users. Price is banded by company turnover rather than by invoice volume or by what you collect, and it rose roughly four to five times when Chaser left its old invoice tiers. ## 3. Invoiced Best for higher-volume teams with complex or recurring billing, no revenue band published ### What is it best for? For a team whose core problem is billing complexity rather than chasing, and which already runs an ERP alongside QuickBooks. - **Fits:** Mid-market and enterprise invoice-to-cash buyers. No revenue band published - **Regions:** United States. Part of Flywire - **Entry cost:** Not published. No price could be confirmed from a primary source at the August 2026 check - **Rated:** Not verified. No rating or review count could be confirmed from a primary source at the August 2026 check. Invoiced maintains a listing on [Capterra](https://www.capterra.com/p/222215/Invoiced/reviews/) - **Awards:** None found - **Runs on:** QuickBooks Online, QuickBooks Desktop, QuickBooks Enterprise, Xero, NetSuite, Sage Intacct, Dynamics 365 Business Central - **Late fees and interest:** Not verified. Invoiced publishes a late-fee automation use case, but the mechanic, the grain and whether the charge reaches the ledger could not be confirmed from its public materials - **Does best:** Invoice-to-cash for ERP buyers, with dunning sequences, recurring billing and a customer portal across QuickBooks Online, Desktop and Enterprise Invoiced is a US invoice-to-cash platform, now part of Flywire, spanning billing, collections and payments. It maintains integration pages for QuickBooks Online, Desktop and Enterprise alongside Xero, NetSuite, Sage Intacct and Dynamics 365 Business Central, and its positioning has moved toward mid-market and enterprise ERP buyers. Of the tools here it is the one whose feature detail is hardest to pin down. The public estate leads with gated white papers, persona pages and a glossary rather than documented mechanics, so the entries above say what could be confirmed and nothing more. **Limitations with Invoiced.** Neither a price nor a rating could be confirmed from a primary source, so two of the five criteria cannot be scored for Invoiced at all. Its late-fee handling is undocumented in the material checked. The move upmarket after the Flywire acquisition deprioritizes the QuickBooks audience its integration pages nominally serve, so treat cost and onboarding weight as unknown until you have a written quote. ## 4. Biller Genie Best for card-heavy US teams that want invoicing, payments and a branded portal automated together ### What is it best for? For a US small business where payments are the heart of receivables, and a branded portal with surcharging matters more than fee grain. - **Fits:** US small businesses on QuickBooks Online or Desktop. No revenue band published; the bill scales with the value collected - **Regions:** United States, Orlando head office, with an engineering office in Belfast - **Entry cost:** A single consolidated plan at $49.95/mo plus 0.50% of invoices collected, capped at $1,500/mo. ACH is a $20/mo add-on with a $25 setup fee and $0.50 per transaction, and paper mail is $1.50 per reminder plus $0.25 per extra page. As at August 2026, verify current pricing - **Rated:** 4.8 from 26 on [Capterra](https://www.capterra.com/p/176347/Biller-Genie/reviews/); 3.0 from 4 on [G2](https://www.g2.com/products/biller-genie); 2.33 from 3 on the [Xero App Store listing](https://apps.xero.com/us/app/biller-genie) - **Awards:** Inc. 5000, number 259, 2024 - **Runs on:** QuickBooks Online, QuickBooks Desktop, Xero, AccountingSuite, and 20-plus US payment gateways - **Late fees and interest:** Yes, as an add-on, on a fixed cycle. An invoice is not treated as late until 30 days past due, then fees recur on a 30-day schedule and stack. There is no interest calculation - **Does best:** The US payments stack: surcharging and dual pricing with auto-reconciled fees, a virtual terminal, check capture, and a branded autopay portal Biller Genie sits between your invoicing and your payments, automating reminders, online collection and reconciliation that QuickBooks does not handle on its own. Its calling card is a custom-branded customer portal with per-customer autopay thresholds, and a deep US payments stack that most tools in this category do not attempt. Reminders cover six types, from an upcoming payment notice through to an upcoming late-fee warning, and payments and fees sync back to the accounting file. Payment processing runs through its own merchant-services stack rather than a processor you choose. **Limitations with Biller Genie.** One global reminder cadence per account, so timing cannot change for a single customer, and there is no SMS. The late-fee add-on waits 30 days before an invoice counts as late and then recurs on a fixed 30-day cycle, with no interest calculation and no per-group grain. The percentage of collections means the effective price climbs with volume. Reviewers name sync delays, and the Xero App Store US base of three reviews sits at 2.33 including a report of a duplicate-charge sync fault. ## 5. AR Collect Best for in-house collectors on QuickBooks Desktop, priced by open-invoice count ### What is it best for? For a person who works receivables every day on QuickBooks Desktop and wants a call list with full history, not a hands-off engine. - **Fits:** Small US teams on QuickBooks Online or Desktop. No revenue band published; the price band is set by open-invoice count - **Regions:** United States. No head office, founding year or funding is disclosed publicly - **Entry cost:** $29.95/mo up to 500 open invoices and $44.95/mo up to 1,500, plus $4.95 per extra user and $29.95 per extra company, with an unrestricted 30-day trial. Bands above 5,000 invoices are not published. As at August 2026, verify current pricing - **Rated:** 4.0 from 2 on [G2](https://www.g2.com/products/arcollect/reviews) and 5.0 from a single [Capterra](https://www.capterra.com/p/233202/AR-Collect/) review, all three dated 2022; no reviews yet on the [Xero App Store listing](https://apps.xero.com/us/app/ar-collect) - **Awards:** None found - **Runs on:** QuickBooks Online, every QuickBooks Desktop edition from Pro through Enterprise and any year, and Xero - **Late fees and interest:** None found. No late fee, interest or surcharge function appears anywhere in the vendor’s materials - **Does best:** QuickBooks Desktop coverage, with group-based reminder series and promise-to-pay tracking that feeds a cash-flow forecast AR Collect is built for someone who works receivables every day. Its AR Summary page behaves like a CRM for collections: every customer, the latest note and the full history in one view, with customer groups each linked to a template series and a schedule, plus advance and past-due reminders and a bulk send to everyone overdue. Its QuickBooks Desktop coverage is the rare and real part. Every edition from Pro through Enterprise connects, any year, which is the reason a Desktop shop shortlists it at all. Promises to pay are captured with an amount and a date, then rolled into commitment and exception reports that drive the forecast. **Limitations with AR Collect.** It chases, it does not charge. No late fee, interest or surcharge function is documented, and there are no payment plans, no SMS and no bank-file cash application. The whole public review base is three reviews, all from 2022, so the rating cannot be read as a quality signal. The bands above 5,000 open invoices are quote-only, and nothing about the company is publicly disclosed. ## 6. Upflow Best for analytics-led finance teams, ARR bands from under $10m to $50m and above ### What is it best for? For a finance team that wants the collections numbers on the table before it signs a merchant agreement or a take rate with anybody else on this page. - **Fits:** B2B finance teams that manage by metric, quoted in ARR bands: under $10m, $10m to $50m, and $50m and above - **Regions:** New York head office, Paris origin, customers in 30-plus countries - **Entry cost:** Not published. Upflow prints no figures and quotes by ARR band, and the free Discover tier is analytics only and has to be arranged through sales. Third-party captures from 2024 put Grow at $440 a month and Scale at $880. As at August 2026, verify current pricing - **Rated:** 4.8 from 233 [G2](https://www.g2.com/products/upflow-upflow/reviews) reviews; 4.5 from 15 on [Capterra](https://www.capterra.com/p/193097/Upflow/) · [Xero App Store listing](https://apps.xero.com/us/app/upflow) - **Awards:** None found - **Runs on:** QuickBooks Online, Xero, NetSuite, Sage Intacct, Stripe Billing, Chargebee, Zuora - **Late fees and interest:** No, via your ERP only. Upflow’s own documentation points the job back to the ERP and there is no native computation - **Does best:** Turning the ledger into numbers a finance lead can act on: countback DSO against best possible DSO, a collection effectiveness score, and the balance at risk beyond 90 days Five of the six platforms here move money. Upflow does not, and that is the case for buying it alongside one of them rather than instead of one. It reads the ledger and produces the collections numbers a QuickBooks file will not give you on its own: countback DSO against best possible DSO, collection effectiveness, at-risk balances and billing-cohort cash forecasting, on dashboards you can filter by workflow, country or account manager and schedule by email. Automation sits on top of that: multi-step workflows across email, SMS, letter, call and task actions, a branded portal with autopay and disputes, and cash application with rules and suggested matches. The free Discover tier shows the numbers and chases nobody. **Limitations with Upflow.** No native late fees, so fees go back to your ERP. No payment plans, only customer-initiated part payments and promises to pay. Automatic actions fire once a day, on business days only, and sending through your own SMTP disables open and click tracking. The QuickBooks link is one-way and polls every five minutes rather than using webhooks, with payments landing in Undeposited Funds for manual reconciliation. No price is published at any tier. ## The take rate: a percentage of collections at $2m, $10m and $30m One vendor here charges a percentage of what it collects. Below is what that comes to against the flat subscriptions on the same page, at three annual collection volumes. | Collected in a year | Biller Genie, $49.95/mo plus 0.50%, capped at $1,500/mo | Paidnice, US$99/mo on Pro | AR Collect, $44.95/mo to 1,500 open invoices | | **$2m** | $883.28 a month, about $10,599 a year | $99 a month, $1,188 a year | $44.95 a month, about $539 a year | | **$10m** | At the cap: $1,549.95 a month, about $18,599 a year | $1,188 a year | $539 a year | | **$30m** | At the cap: $1,549.95 a month, about $18,599 a year | $1,188 a year | $539 a year | Our arithmetic, applied to each vendor's published August 2026 rate. The flat figures hold only while invoice volume stays inside the published tier, and Invoiced and Upflow publish nothing, so neither can be placed on this table. The percentage stops growing at $3.6m of annual collections, because 0.50% of $300,000 a month reaches the $1,500 monthly cap. Below that point the take rate is the dominant number in the comparison. Above it, Biller Genie is a flat $1,549.95 a month whatever you collect. Read the gap for what it is rather than as a verdict. The percentage buys card and ACH acceptance, surcharging, dual pricing, a virtual terminal, check capture and reconciliation, and none of the flat-priced tools on this page does any of that. AR Collect neither charges a fee nor processes a payment, so its $539 a year is not the same purchase at all. The question the table answers is narrower and more useful: at your volume, is the payment stack worth the difference between roughly $18,600 and roughly $1,200 a year. Under about $3m collected, the answer changes with every extra point of card mix. Above it, the cap makes the platform look progressively cheaper the more you grow. ## Merchant lock-in, surcharging and dual pricing Payment processing on Biller Genie runs through its own merchant-services stack, so a business that already holds a processor and a negotiated rate cannot bring either one with it. Surcharging and dual pricing are the two mechanisms that move the cost of card acceptance onto the payer, and Biller Genie handles both at checkout with the fees reconciled back automatically. Surcharging adds a fee to a card transaction. Dual pricing prints two figures, one for cards and one for cash or ACH. Both are governed by state law and by card scheme rules, and both are conditions of your merchant agreement rather than settings inside the software, so confirm your own position before switching either on. AR Collect takes the opposite approach: surcharging is available through its portal and the vendor adds no card fee of its own on top. Weigh the take rate and the lock-in together rather than one at a time. A low subscription, a percentage of collections and a merchant relationship you cannot move are three commitments signed as one, and the third is the hardest of them to unwind two years later. ## Centime, and what we could not verify Centime markets an order-to-cash product embedded in QuickBooks and appears on other shortlists in this category. It carries no entry on this page, and here is exactly why. Three things could not be confirmed from a primary source at the August 2026 check: a published price at any tier, a rating with a review count on a named platform, and any documented mechanic for late fees, interest or payment plans. None of that means the product does not do those things. It means nothing could be printed with a source behind it, and a comparison assembled from what a vendor markets rather than from what it documents is not worth the reader's time. Invoiced sits in a milder version of the same position and is ranked, because its ledger coverage, its ownership and its integration estate are all documented even though its price, its rating and its fee mechanic are not. That is the line: a vendor is ranked when enough is verifiable to compare it honestly, and named without figures when it is not. ## What a platform costs beyond its subscription Published entry prices as at August 2026: AR Collect $29.95 a month, Biller Genie $49.95 plus 0.50% of collections, Paidnice US$69, Chaser £199. Invoiced and Upflow publish no price at all. Four figures on this page are not the subscription. Biller Genie prices ACH as a $20 a month add-on with a $25 setup fee and $0.50 a transaction, and paper mail at $1.50 a reminder plus $0.25 an extra page. AR Collect charges $4.95 per extra user and $29.95 per extra company. Chaser meters SMS, letters and calls in credits, so a hard chasing month costs more than a quiet one. Paidnice caps the entry tier at two team members and goes unlimited from Pro. Two of the six publish nothing usable. Upflow removed its prices from its site and quotes by ARR band, and the $440 and $880 figures that circulate are 2024 third-party captures rather than published prices. Invoiced publishes no figure that could be confirmed from a primary source. Centime is in the same position. Add the take rate to that list and the ranking by headline price stops matching the ranking by annual cost. A business collecting $300,000 a month sits exactly on the Biller Genie cap at $1,549.95, which is where the percentage stops being the variable that matters and the merchant arrangement becomes it. ## Questions about QuickBooks AR platforms What QuickBooks finance teams ask once they have worked out that the payment stack, and not the reminder, is the cost they are signing for. ### What is the best AR automation platform for QuickBooks? For most QuickBooks Online businesses, Paidnice, because it runs delivery, chasing, late fees, interest, statements, payment plans, a portal and reconciliation on one ledger connection, with fee policies that vary per customer group, from US$69 a month. For a team whose main need is multi-channel chasing with credit checks, Chaser, from £199 a month. Both prices are as at August 2026; verify current pricing. ### What is the difference between an AR app and an AR automation platform? An AR app automates one slice of the process, such as reminders or payments. A platform orchestrates the whole order-to-cash cycle: invoice delivery, multi-step collections, enforcement, payments, cash application and reporting, in one connected workflow tied to your accounting system. ### Which QuickBooks AR tools apply late fees automatically? Paidnice, Chaser and Biller Genie. Paidnice runs an invoice late fee and a statement interest charge as policies under customer groups and posts both to the ledger. Chaser runs four calculation types as one global rule that cannot vary by schedule or customer group. Biller Genie applies a fee as an add-on, only once an invoice is 30 days past due, then on a recurring 30-day cycle with no interest calculation. AR Collect documents no fee function, Upflow points the job back to your ERP, and Invoiced does not document the mechanic. ### Which AR automation tools work with QuickBooks Desktop? AR Collect, Biller Genie and Invoiced. AR Collect covers every Desktop edition from Pro through Enterprise, any year, which is the reason a Desktop shop shortlists it. Paidnice, Chaser and Upflow are QuickBooks Online only. ### How much do QuickBooks AR automation platforms cost? The published figures on this page, all as at August 2026, run from $29.95 a month for AR Collect to £899 a month for Chaser's top revenue band. Biller Genie is $49.95 a month plus 0.50% of invoices collected, capped at $1,500. Paidnice is US$69 a month on Essentials, with up to two team members, and US$99 on Pro with unlimited users. Invoiced and Upflow publish no price. Verify current pricing with each vendor. ### Do I still need AR automation if QuickBooks sends reminders? QuickBooks Online sends a basic reminder and stops there. It does not apply a late fee or interest, escalate by customer group, issue statements on a schedule, take a payment plan or report on collection performance. The reminder is the cheap part of receivables; the charge that follows it is the part that changes when a customer pays. ## What was verified, and what was not Prices are each vendor's own published figures, read in the currency that vendor prints, in August 2026. Nothing was converted, which is why pounds sit next to dollars in the same row above. Two vendors publish nothing usable. Upflow quotes by ARR band and the $440 and $880 figures in circulation are 2024 third-party captures rather than published prices. Invoiced prints no figure that could be traced to a primary source, and no rating with a review count could be confirmed for it either. The take-rate arithmetic earlier on this page is ours, applied to Biller Genie's published rate of $49.95 a month plus 0.50% of invoices collected with a $1,500 monthly cap. Model your own collected volume against it before comparing it with a flat subscription, because the answer moves sharply either side of $3.6m a year. Accounting.Events publishes this page. No vendor pays for a place on it or for the order it appears in, and the Centime section above is what that policy looks like when a vendor cannot be verified.
