How to choose

  • Already pay for accounting software? Try its built-in reminders first. If invoices are still late, add a dedicated tool.
  • Freelancer or small team? Pick something you can set up today without a sales call, and that doesn't cost more than the late payments it fixes.
  • Finance team with hundreds of invoices a month? Chaser or Upflow's integrations and workflows are worth the price.

Frequently asked questions

What is the cheapest invoice chasing software in the UK?

Of the tools we compared in July 2026, AutoChase was the cheapest dedicated option at £3.99/month, with a free plan. Accounting suites start from about £12/month but only include basic reminders.

Do I need dedicated chasing software if I use Xero or QuickBooks?

Not if their built-in reminders are getting you paid. If late payment is a regular problem, a dedicated tool adds escalation, tracking and payment plans that the suites lack.

Is AutoChase biased in this comparison?

It is our product, so treat it accordingly. We have tried to be fair — including where other tools are the better choice — and we date our pricing so you can check it.
