Hiveage - a great solution for very small businesses/freelancers needing straightforward billing/invoicing
Use Cases and Deployment Scope
Hiveage is a decent invoicing/billing system for a small business with features such as recurring invoices, time-tracking, quoting and more. I used Hiveage for my own business invoicing/billing for a couple of years (and moved from its predecessor) and recommended it for a couple of clients needing invoicing/billing that was easy to set up and configure for receiving payments online.
Pros
- Setting up to receive online payments from a number of payment processors was quick and easy, and the range of processors was excellent.
- Invoicing and recurring invoicing were easy and straightforward to use, and clients liked it as well.
- The entire system is user-friendly and very easy to use for anyone. It has all the basics you need for billing/invoicing for a small business and is especially ideal for freelancers.
Cons
- Mobile app still needed some work, but they were going in the right direction.
- Would like to see them add more accounting/bookkeeping functions.
- Preferred the old pricing structure vs the current one.
Likelihood to Recommend
For a very small business or a freelancer this is an excellent billing/invoicing system. Easy to get set up and configured quickly so you can get paid online quickly. It works very well for what it is intended. But for a growing small business it doesn't have the more complex accounting/bookkeeping features you might need. There is some limitation to customization as well.
