The review
SumUp Invoices is a freemium billing tool for businesses that need repeat invoices, quotes and customer records without committing to a subscription. It fits solo operators and small teams with uncomplicated billing, while its cards-only payment setup can be a decisive limitation for businesses needing a wider range of payment methods.
Overview
The Free plan is unusually broad for a no-cost tier: invoices and quotes are unlimited, and recurring invoices, customer management, credit notes, delivery notes and automatic payment reminders are included. That combination supports an ongoing billing process rather than just one-off document creation. Online payments are supported, and SumUp also provides inventory management, sales reporting, refunds, employee permissions, offline mode, multi-location support and hardware support.
SumUp was founded in 2012 and has a registered office in Wilmington, Delaware. The service works in a browser and through iOS and Android apps, giving businesses a choice of desktop or mobile access. Payment methods are cards only. Invoices Plus adds bank transfers to any bank account, but businesses should still confirm that the overall payment arrangement fits customers who expect alternatives to card payments.
Key features
- Recurring invoices: Free includes recurring billing, so subscription-like or repeat customer charges do not require an upgrade.
- Quotes and supporting documents: Quotes, credit notes and delivery notes sit alongside customer management in the free tier. This is useful when a business needs to track a sale from proposal through adjustment and delivery.
- Automatic reminders: Payment reminders are included at no cost, reducing the need to chase routine invoices manually.
- International invoicing: Invoices Plus supports multiple currencies, 14 invoice languages and invoice customization. Those additions matter for cross-border work or businesses that need branded, localized documents; they are not part of Free.
- Business operations: Inventory management, sales reporting, refunds, employee permissions, offline mode and multi-location support extend the product beyond a basic invoice generator. Hardware support is available on both supported device types.
Pricing
Free
Free costs £0.00 per month, billed monthly. It provides unlimited invoices and quotes, recurring invoices, quotes, credit notes, delivery notes, customer management and automatic payment reminders. This is the sensible choice for a solo business or small operation that can work with card payments and standard invoice presentation. It gives up multi-currency invoicing, customization, 14 invoice languages and the bank-transfer option included with Invoices Plus.
Invoices Plus
Invoices Plus costs £7.00 per month when billed annually and includes a 30-day trial. It keeps unlimited invoices and quotes while adding multi-currency invoicing, customization, 14 invoice languages and bank transfers to any bank account. Choose it when international billing, localized documents or bank-transfer collection justify an annual commitment. The annual billing term is important: readers who prefer month-to-month costs should verify the commitment before upgrading.
Platforms
SumUp Invoices runs in a web browser and has apps for iOS and Android. Businesses can therefore issue and manage invoices from desktop or mobile devices, with offline mode also supported.
Who it's for
Free is a strong match for freelancers, contractors and small businesses sending repeat invoices, quotes and related records without a subscription. Invoices Plus is better for organizations invoicing across currencies or languages, customizing documents, or directing customers to bank transfers. Businesses that require payment methods beyond cards should look elsewhere, even if the billing features fit.
Pros and cons
Pros
- Generous free tier: Unlimited invoices and quotes plus recurring billing and reminders cover core ongoing work at £0.00.
- Broader billing workflow: Credit notes, delivery notes and customer management reduce the need for separate records.
- Useful upgrade features: Multi-currency support, 14 languages, customization and bank transfers address concrete international and presentation needs.
- Flexible access: Browser, iOS and Android support, along with offline mode, suits mobile and distributed operations.
Cons
- Cards-only payment methods: Businesses needing broader online payment choices may find the collection setup restrictive.
- Key presentation and international tools are paid: Customization, multi-currency invoicing and 14 languages require Invoices Plus.
- Annual billing for the stated paid price: The £7.00 monthly rate applies when billed annually, which may not suit businesses avoiding a longer commitment.

Verdict
SumUp Invoices is an excellent starting point for solo operators and small businesses that need unlimited recurring invoices, quotes and reminders for free, with mobile and browser access.
