Where each one falls short
Documented limitations, not opinions. Every one is a constraint you would hit in normal use.
Maxio
- Entry-level Grow plan starts at $599/month, making it costly for very early-stage startups.
- Pricing above the Grow tier requires a custom quote rather than transparent self-serve pricing.
- Focused specifically on B2B SaaS billing, so it lacks general e-commerce checkout or consumer payment features found in platforms like FastSpring.
- Advanced features like multi-entity support and expense amortization are gated behind paid add-ons.
Moxie
- Each module is weaker than the specialist product it replaces, so a freelancer with a demanding requirement in any one area will find the bundled version limiting.
- The shared data model that makes the bundle convenient also makes leaving expensive, because proposals, time entries and invoices come out as one tangled export rather than as separable tools.
- It is designed around a solo operator, so adding subcontractors, splitting revenue or managing a small team runs into limits quickly.
- Client payments are processed through a third party gateway, so the card processing fee applies on top of the subscription and should be modelled into the true cost per invoice.
- A large amount of published review material still refers to the product as Hectic, which makes independent research harder and dates much of what is written about it.

Answered from the vendors’ own pages
Maxio: What does Maxio cost?
Maxio's Grow plan costs $599/month for businesses with up to $100k in monthly billings. Businesses above that threshold need the Scale plan, which requires a custom quote from Maxio's sales team.
SourceMoxie: Is Moxie the same product as Hectic?
Yes. It was renamed in 2022. Older reviews under the Hectic name describe the same software at an earlier stage.
Maxio: Is there a free plan?
No, Maxio does not offer a free plan. The Grow plan at $599/month is the entry point, with unlimited users included at no extra cost.
SourceMoxie: Does it take a percentage of my invoices?
The payment processor takes its standard card fee. Model that separately from the subscription when comparing total cost.
Maxio: What does Maxio integrate with?
Maxio integrates with accounting systems like QuickBooks, Xero, and NetSuite, CRMs including Salesforce, HubSpot, and Pipedrive, and 20+ payment gateways alongside its own Maxio Payments.
SourceMoxie: Can I use it with a team?
It is built for a solo operator. Subcontractors and multi person billing are handled awkwardly.
Moxie: Can I keep my accountant in the loop?
Yes, through the accounting integration, though most freelancers still reconcile manually at year end.
Moxie: What is the exit path?
Exports exist, but the linked proposal, time and invoice data does not map cleanly onto separate replacement tools.
