The short version

  • Only Invoicely has a free tier, so it costs nothing to try first.
  • Each has a real cost: Invoicely free plan is limited to just 5 invoices and 3 clients per month, and PayPal-only payments.; Medius the sourcing, contract and procurement modules are considerably less developed than the AP core, so buying Medius as a full source-to-pay suite means accepting weak upstream tooling.
  • They diverge on capability: Invoicely covers Invoice creation, Medius covers Invoice capture and coding.
  • Prices and features above were last checked on 31 August 2026.

Where each one falls short

Documented limitations, not opinions. Every one is a constraint you would hit in normal use.

Invoicely

  • Free plan is limited to just 5 invoices and 3 clients per month, and PayPal-only payments.
  • No native mobile app mentioned, limiting on-the-go invoicing.
  • Team member limits on lower tiers can be restrictive for growing businesses.
  • No listed integrations with accounting platforms like QuickBooks or Xero.

Medius

  • The sourcing, contract and procurement modules are considerably less developed than the AP core, so buying Medius as a full source-to-pay suite means accepting weak upstream tooling.
  • Pricing is quote-only and driven by invoice volume, so a business with many low-value invoices pays disproportionately relative to the spend being controlled.
  • Payments are billed on transaction volume separately from the AP subscription, which is easy to omit from a cost comparison against a licence-only AP tool.
  • Private equity ownership since 2017 has produced an acquisition-driven product line, so payments and adjacent capability come from bought-in technology rather than the original platform.
  • ERP integration depth varies sharply by system, and organisations on less common or heavily customised ERPs face integration work that lengthens the implementation.
