Aviy vs Invoice2go - AI invoicing vs a legacy mobile app
Invoice2go has been around since 2009. It is a competent mobile-first invoicing app for tradespeople and contractors, but the workflow is still "open the form, fill the fields, send." Aviy is built around the opposite idea: describe the work in a sentence and let AI write the invoice for you. Plus a real free tier, six document types, and multi-channel send the older app doesn't reach.
Feature comparison
| Feature | Aviy | Invoice2go |
|---|---|---|
| AI invoice creation | Native. Type "Bill John 850 for kitchen plumbing labour, due in 14 days" and the doc is finished in seconds. | No AI. Manual form-filling on every invoice. |
| Free tier | Free forever - 4 saved documents, full editor, all six doc types, four templates. | Time-limited free trial only. No permanent free tier; paid plans required to keep using the app. |
| Pricing | Free Basic; paid plans start lower per month for unlimited docs + recurring + analytics. | Per-seat monthly pricing typically starts around $9-$39 depending on tier. No free plan. |
| Document types | Invoices, estimates, quotes, credit notes, receipts, purchase orders - all six native. | Invoices, estimates. No native credit notes, quotes (vs estimates), or purchase orders. |
| Templates | Four modern templates (Classic, Modern, Bold, Minimal) with full brand customisation: logo, colour, signature, per-business defaults. | Multiple themed templates; customisation is limited and dated in feel. |
| Multi-channel send | Email, WhatsApp, SMS, Telegram, Slack, Messenger, iMessage. Create + send from chat without leaving the app. | Email and SMS only. |
| Online payments | Stripe + PayPal - keep your own processor accounts. Bank transfer + mark-paid via /view. | Invoice2go Payments only. Per-transaction fees and processor lock-in. |
| Web + mobile | Native web (aviy.ai) AND iOS/Android - same account everywhere, real-time sync, AI on both. | Mobile-first; web app exists but key flows feel ported. |
| Multi-currency | Every major world currency, native, on every plan. | Supported on paid plans. |
| Recurring invoices | Included on paid plan, scheduled by Aviy and run automatically. | Included on higher-tier paid plans. |
| AI document editing | "Change the due date to next Friday" or "Add a $50 fee for materials" - Aviy edits the doc with the same AI that created it. | Open the form, find the field, type, save. Every time. |
| Magic-link viewer | Recipients open a clean /v/<token> page - view, download PDF, request changes, pay online. No app install required. | PDF attachment in email. Recipient has nowhere to act on the doc. |
| Brand removal | Branding removed on every paid plan (Starter and up). | Branding only removable on higher tiers. |

- You want a permanent free tier to try the product without a deadline.
Frequently asked questions
How does Aviy AI compare to Invoice2go's workflow?
Night and day on the create path. In Aviy you type one sentence ("Invoice Smith Plumbing £840 for emergency callout, due in 7 days") and the doc is finished - client, line items, currency, due date, tax. In Invoice2go you tap through fields one by one. For tradespeople who write 20+ invoices a month, that's ~10 minutes per invoice saved.
Can I send invoices via WhatsApp from Aviy?
Yes - WhatsApp, Telegram, SMS, iMessage, Slack, Messenger, plus regular email. Tradespeople and field contractors use WhatsApp daily; Aviy lets you both CREATE invoices from a WhatsApp message AND send finished invoices to clients in WhatsApp. Invoice2go offers email and SMS only.
Can I migrate from Invoice2go to Aviy?
Yes. Export your Invoice2go clients and invoice history as CSV, then import into Aviy. The smart import recognises Invoice2go's column names; numbering, dates, and client records are preserved.
Is Aviy cheaper than Invoice2go?
Significantly. Aviy is free forever for up to 4 saved documents with full features. Invoice2go has no permanent free tier - the trial ends and you pay. Aviy paid plans for unlimited storage, recurring invoices, and analytics undercut Invoice2go's mid-tier and higher plans.
Do Aviy invoices look as good as Invoice2go invoices?
Better, in our opinion. Four hand-designed templates with proper typography, brand colour control, logo + signature handling, and a high-resolution PDF render via Cloudflare Browser Rendering. Invoice2go's templates work but feel dated; Aviy's templates are designed for the way modern brands look on screen and in print.
Can Aviy handle estimates and quotes like Invoice2go does?
Yes, and more. Aviy has both estimates AND quotes (Invoice2go bundles them under "estimate"), plus a one-click convert-to-invoice flow that links the docs so the activity timeline shows the deal start-to-finish. Estimates carry an accept-or-request-changes recipient portal that Invoice2go doesn't offer.
Why switch if Invoice2go works fine today?
Two reasons. First: time. AI invoicing is 5-10x faster than form-filling, every single invoice, forever. Second: surface area. Aviy is web + mobile + chat + recipient portal; Invoice2go is mostly mobile. Once you're sending invoices from a WhatsApp reply on your way to the next job, you don't go back.
