Who Invoice2go is best for

Invoice2go is a solid choice for businesses that need simple, fast invoicing without complex job details. Think of a consultant, a mobile mechanic doing routine servicing, or any business with a straightforward price list. It creates professional-looking estimates and invoices and helps you track payments. It's a general-purpose tool, so it doesn't have trade-specific features like material lists from Reece or automatic labour calculations. If your quoting process is just writing a single number on a page and your main problem is chasing payments, Invoice2go handles that core task well. It’s been around for years and works across many industries beyond the trades.

Why tradies switch from Invoice2go to QuoteMate

Tradies move from Invoice2go when their quoting gets serious. The main reason is profit margin. Invoice2go can't pull live material prices from Bunnings or Tradelink, so you risk under-quoting. QuoteMate connects directly to these suppliers, so your costs are always current. It also uses AI to suggest line items you might forget, like waterproofing membrane or extra GPOs, which protects your profit. The whole workflow is built for a tradie. You can manage a job from the initial quote, through scheduling and on-site photos, to the final invoice. It's one system for the entire job, not just the paperwork at the end.

The Bottom Line

Invoice2go handles invoicing well across many industries but stops at the invoice. QuoteMate covers the full job lifecycle — quoting with AI material suggestions and live supplier pricing, scheduling, on-site photos and checklists, automated quote follow-ups, and invoicing — all built around how Australian tradies actually work.

Frequently Asked Questions

Can QuoteMate completely replace Invoice2go?

Yes. QuoteMate handles everything Invoice2go does—professional PDFs, invoicing, and payment tracking—and adds the entire quoting and job management side. It’s designed to run your whole job from the first enquiry to the final payment, including scheduling and on-site checklists, so you won't need a separate invoicing app.

What's the real cost difference for a sole trader?

Invoice2go has multiple tiers, starting around $6/month and going up to $40/month. QuoteMate has a free plan, and its Pro plan is a flat $49/month. The key difference is that the QuoteMate Pro plan includes every feature like AI quoting and live supplier pricing. There are no add-ons or hidden fees for core trade tools.

Is it hard to move my client list from Invoice2go?

No, it's a simple process. You can export your customer list from Invoice2go as a file and import it straight into QuoteMate to get started. All your client details will be there. The bigger change is getting used to building detailed quotes first, which then turn into your invoices with a single click.
