A practical comparison for Australian freelancers, sole traders, tradies and contractors. See how HNRY stacks up against Simple Invoice on cost, control and the features people actually use.
HNRY bundles invoicing, tax withholding and tax lodgement into one percentage-based fee. That sounds convenient until your fee scales with your income and your clients' money goes through a third party first.
Simple Invoice stays flat. HNRY grows as your income grows.
Invoices pay directly to your bank account instead of a platform trust account.
Quotes, invoices, reminders and reporting without accounting bloat.
It is easier to move invoicing tools than it is to unwind payment routing and tax automation.
HNRY charges a percentage of income, which means the fee rises automatically as your business grows. Simple Invoice uses flat pricing, so the software side stays predictable.
Flat fee pricing. No percentage drag on growth.
That is already well above a basic invoicing plan.
The fee grows with your income, not with extra value.

| $150,000 | $150 | $1,500 |
