Where each one falls short

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

Stigg

  • Free tier limited to 10,000 entities and 5M events per month
  • Pro plan pricing ($399/month) may be high for early-stage companies
  • Scale and BYOC plans require custom contracts and sales engagement
  • Primarily targets AI and high-scale use cases, not all business models
  • Requires integration with separate billing platform (Stripe, Zuora, etc.)

Invoicera

  • Pricing quoted annually by default, with monthly billing costing roughly 20% more.
  • Add-ons for extra users, entities, and support increase the effective cost beyond base plans.
  • Advanced reconciliation workflows are locked behind the top Scale tier.
  • Interface and workflow complexity may be more than very small freelance businesses need.
