Invio vs Zoho Invoice
Zoho Invoice is free with a generous limit - up to 500 invoices a year and 2 users - and its documents carry Zoho's own branding. Invio's free plan shows "Powered by Invio" too; Pro and Growth remove it. The real question is invoice volume, and whether your GST by BAS quarter belongs inside the invoicing tool itself.
We make Invio. Read our side with that in mind. Every statement about Zoho Invoice below links to Zoho Invoice's own published page.

Choose Invio if
- You want your GST collected for each BAS quarter in the invoicing tool itself, not a separate product.

- You are at low invoice volume now (5/month free) and want a flat monthly fee as you grow, not a hard annual cap.
- You want a standalone tool rather than a wider connected-app suite.
