Invoice chasing alternatives
Every roundup in this category compares features and prices. None of them tells you what leaving costs, which is the question you are actually asking when you search for an alternative to a tool you already pay for. This page is that table. Vendor terms are quoted from this site’s claim register, each read from that vendor’s own pages and dated there. Latest verification across the set: 2026-09-25.
Where your chase history ends up, and what you are committed to
The first column is the one that decides whether a switch is reversible. Your invoices never move, because they live in your ledger. What moves, or does not, is the record that anybody chased them.
| Tool | What survives the switch | What you are committed to |
|---|---|---|
| FetchDue | Every chase went out of your own mailbox, so the whole thread is already in your Sent folder and stays there after you cancel. The chase activity is also written back onto the invoice in your ledger, so the record survives in two places you own. | Pro $9/mo, month to month, and the Free forever tier stays available underneath it. The free tier does not expire, so a parallel run costs nothing and needs no cancellation. |
| Dueflo | Nothing was written into QuickBooks to leave behind, by design: We never create, edit, or delete anything in QuickBooks. That is a real safety property while you use it, and it is also the reason a switch leaves your ledger with no record that anything was ever chased. | Monthly plans with a 14-day free trial on all plans and no transaction fees. Metered on up to 50 invoices in collections at Starter, so a switch mid-month is priced by how many invoices were live, not by how long you stayed. |
| Paidnice | The late fees, interest and prompt-payment discounts it applied are on the invoices themselves in Xero or QuickBooks, so those survive the switch. The reminder history sits in Paidnice. | charged monthly, cancel anytime, and You can cancel your plan at any time with no penalty. The trial is metered rather than timed: you can try us for free for your first 20 actions, which a long overdue list can spend in a day. |
| Trove | It writes back to the accounting system, so the chase record lands in Xero, FreeAgent, Stripe or NetSuite and stays with you. The Kanban board and the workflow segmentation do not. | From £50 a month with a 30-day free trial, the longest parallel run available in this set. Billed in pounds, which is its own reason to switch or not. |
| Chaser | The templates, the workflows and the follow-up history are configuration inside Chaser. Its entry plan is scoped to 30 follow-up templates and 4 automated receivables workflows, so the thing you would be rebuilding elsewhere is that configuration rather than the invoice data. | Banded by revenue rather than usage: for annual revenue £4 million at the entry tier. No. A trial length, a cancellation policy and a minimum term are not published on the pricing page, and Every plan card on the pricing page ends at "Speak to an expert", so the terms of leaving are a sales conversation rather than a page you can read first. |
| LedgerUp | Chasing is one workflow among contract ingestion, usage billing, invoice generation, ASC 606 revenue and cash application. Leaving it does not move one feature, it moves a finance stack, and the revenue schedule is the part with an audit trail attached. | Starter $500/mo billed monthly with a 14 day free trial. Metered on AI credits, with $0.12 / credit on Starter beyond the monthly allocation, so the last month before a switch is not a predictable number. |
| Paraglide | Nothing is published about data residency, export or offboarding. The site describes named agents working a shared finance inbox and nothing about what happens to that inbox after. | No pricing page. every call to action on the site is "Book a demo", so pricing comes from a sales conversation. There is no self-serve path in, so there is no self-serve path out either. |
What survives the switchEvery chase went out of your own mailbox, so the whole thread is already in your Sent folder and stays there after you cancel. The chase activity is also written back onto the invoice in your ledger, so the record survives in two places you own.

How to run the switch without double-chasing a client
Split the book rather than running both tools over all of it. Put the oldest third of the overdue list in the new tool and leave the rest where it is, because the old invoices are the ones where a different approach is worth testing and the ones where a duplicate email costs you least. Turn the outbound off in the old tool for exactly those invoices before the first send, not after. Then compare on one number: how many of them replied at all, which is the only thing either tool can influence in a fortnight. Collection rate over two weeks is noise.
The trial lengths above decide how long you get. Trove publishes the longest at 30 days, Dueflo and LedgerUp publish 14, and FetchDue’s free tier does not expire. Paidnice counts actions rather than days, so start it on a short list.
Common questions
What are the alternatives to Chaser for a small agency? Paidnice at $69/month and Dueflo at $49/month are the two closest tools with a published price and a self-serve signup, and FetchDue is $9/month flat. The reason people look for a Chaser alternative is usually the entry price: Chaser bands you by annual revenue rather than by how many invoices went late, so a four-person agency and a company ten times its size can land in the same band. Chaser is still the most complete rules engine in the category, and if you need thirty configured follow-up templates and a consulting relationship, it is the right buy.
What actually moves when I switch invoice chasing tools? Less than people expect, and the exception is the part nobody checks. Your invoices live in QuickBooks, Xero or Stripe and never move at all. What is trapped in the tool you are leaving is the chase history, the templates and the workflow configuration. Whether that matters depends on one architectural question: did the tool write anything back to your ledger. Dueflo states it never writes to QuickBooks at all, Trove writes back to the accounting system, and FetchDue writes the chase activity onto the invoice and sends from your own mailbox, so the thread is in your Sent folder either way.
Can I run two invoice chasers at once while I decide? You can, and you should split the book rather than double-chase the same client. The parallel run is easiest where the trial is timed: Trove publishes 30 days, LedgerUp and Dueflo publish 14, and FetchDue's free tier has no expiry at all. Paidnice's trial is metered in actions rather than days, quoted on its pricing page as your first 20 actions, so a long overdue list can exhaust it before you have learned anything. Chaser publishes no trial length on its pricing page.
Is FetchDue the right alternative for me? Only if you are the collections department as well as the owner. It is built for one person at a US agency who wants the chase to go from their own mailbox in their own voice, with their approval on every send, and who wants the reply read and answered rather than handed back. It is not built for a finance team, it has no phone or SMS channel, and it does none of the billing work that LedgerUp or HighRadius do. If the invoice itself is hard to produce, this is the wrong tool and the page for the right one is linked below.
Do any of these tools charge to leave? None of the ones that publish terms. Paidnice states you can cancel at any time with no penalty. Dueflo, Trove and LedgerUp publish monthly plans with free trials. Chaser and Paraglide publish no cancellation terms at all on their pricing pages, which is not the same as saying there are none, and is the question to ask before signing rather than after.
