Frequently asked questions
Is Aviy really free with no invoice cap?
Yes. The AI invoice generator and all six document types are free with no annual limit on invoices created. Zoho Invoice caps the free tier at 1,000 invoices per year - once you cross it, you are paying.
Can I migrate from Zoho Invoice to Aviy?
Yes. Export your Zoho clients and invoices as CSV, then import into Aviy. The smart import recognises Zoho field names and maps them automatically.
How does the AI generator compare to Zoho templates?
Templates require you to fill in fields one by one. The AI generator parses a single sentence and fills the entire invoice - typically under 60 seconds vs 5+ minutes for a manual template fill.
Do I have to learn a new ecosystem to use Aviy?
No. Aviy is standalone - sign in with email, send your first invoice in under a minute. No CRM setup, no Books configuration, no learning curve.
Will my invoices look more modern on Aviy?
Most users say so. Aviy ships four modern templates with full brand customisation, while Zoho templates feel dated. Per-business defaults in Aviy mean every document is consistent without re-styling.
