What you get

Why builders choose EstiMate

Invoice from the job, not from memory

Every invoice is raised against the job it belongs to — deposit, stage payments, final account, extras — so the ledger on the job, the Business tab and the Accounts tab always agree on what's been invoiced, what's been paid and what's still owed.

  • Invoice number, description, amount, due date
  • Part payments and paid dates
  • Upload invoices made elsewhere and AI reads them

Paid online, from the invoice link

The client opens the invoice on their phone, sees the balance and pays by card through Stripe into your connected account. Payments are applied to the invoice automatically and the job's money position updates.

  • Stripe Connect — money goes to you
  • Bank transfer details on the same page
  • PAID stamp on the PDF once settled

Overdue invoices chased for you

Turn on automatic chasing and any invoice past its due date gets a polite reminder email with the live link, at most one every three days and three per invoice. Quotes going cold are chased the same way.

  • Delivery status and test buttons in Settings
  • Every send logged
  • One-tap WhatsApp chase from the ledger

One money position everywhere

A job's value is never less than what's been invoiced, owed never goes negative, and the same figures appear on the job, Business, Reports, Accounts and the year-end export.

  • Invoiced / Received / Owed to date
  • Aged debtors 0–30, 31–60, 61–90, 90+
  • Bank statement reconciliation

Questions

Frequently asked questions

Can clients pay invoices by card?

Yes. With Stripe connected on the EstiMate plan or above, every invoice link carries a Pay now button. Card payments land in your Stripe account and are marked against the invoice automatically.

Does it chase late invoices automatically?

Yes — turn on automatic follow-ups in Settings. Overdue, unpaid invoices get a friendly reminder email every three days, up to three times, with the pay-online link.

Can I upload invoices I made in another app?

Yes. Upload a PDF or photo of an invoice from your banking app or another invoice maker and AI reads the number, amount and dates onto the job's ledger.

Is invoicing on the free plan?

The client invoice ledger, PDFs and online payment are on the EstiMate plan (£15.99 a month) and above.
