Invoice reminder software for freelancers who hate asking for money.
You sent the invoice. They ghosted you. Now you're rewriting the same “just bumping this to the top of your inbox” email for the fifth time.
InvoiceRelief sends the follow-up for you — friendly first, firm later — by email and WhatsApp. You stay the good cop. We'll be the bad one.

This is what your client actually receives
Hi Sam — quick nudge on invoice #1042 ($1,800), due last Tuesday. No rush if it's already on its way, but a heads-up on timing would be great. Thanks!
Hi Sam, invoice #1042 ($1,800) is now 15 days overdue. I've re-attached it here. Could you let me know when payment will go out today?
Sent automatically. Written to sound like you on a good day.
Every freelancer knows this story.
It goes something like this:
You send the invoice. You feel great. The work was good, the client was happy, the money is basically yours.
Nothing. You check your bank app twice a day anyway. Just in case.
You draft a follow-up email. Delete it. Draft it again. “Too pushy.” Delete. “Too passive.” Delete. You send nothing.
You finally send something so polite it barely counts as a reminder. They reply “So sorry! Paying this week!” They do not pay this week.
Rent's due. You're doing mental math in the shower. And here's the worst part: you start resenting a client you actually like.
Here's the thing: they probably just forgot.
Most late invoices aren't malice — they're chaos. Your invoice is #47 in a pile on someone's desk. A nudge is genuinely all it takes. The problem is the nudge feels awful to send.
So we send it for you.
Set up before your coffee goes cold
Five minutes, start to finish. No tutorials, no “workflow builder,” no onboarding call.
Don't believe us? Here's the entire setup, timed:
Add the invoice
Number, amount, due date, your client’s email or phone. That’s the whole form.
Pick a template
Five to choose from, friendly to final-notice. Tweak the words if you want — most people don’t.
Forget about it
Reminders go out on Day 1, 7, 15, 30, and 45 — by email, WhatsApp, or both. When they pay, pause the sequence in one click.
Done. Your coffee's still hot.
Five templates that actually work
Written by a freelancer who's chased payments for years and figured out what gets replies — not by a “copywriter” who's never had an invoice ignored. Each one turns the pressure up a notch:
“Just checking in”
Read the full message
“Hey [Name], just checking in on invoice #1234. Let me know if you have any questions!”
“Following up on #1234”
Read the full message
“Hi [Name], following up on invoice #1234 ($2,000), due last week. Anything you need from my end?”
“Now 15 days overdue”
Read the full message
“Hi [Name], invoice #1234 is now 15 days overdue. Copy attached. When can I expect payment?”
“Need payment by Friday”
Read the full message
“Hi [Name], invoice #1234 ($2,000) is 30 days overdue. I need payment by Friday to close my books this month.”
“No new work until resolved”
Read the full message
“Hi [Name], I've enjoyed working with you, but I can't take on new projects until invoice #1234 is resolved.”
Use them as-is, or rewrite every word. They're yours.
People read WhatsApp. They ignore email.
So we send your reminders where clients actually look — WhatsApp — with email for the paper trail. No other follow-up tool does this.

Hi Sam, invoice #1042 ($1,800) is 15 days overdue. When can I expect payment?
Full disclosure: we're new.
So no, there's no “4.8/5 from 247 reviews” badge here. Fake testimonials are gross, and you'd see through them anyway.
What freelancers say about chasing payments — Reddit, Twitter, and our own inboxes:
“I'd rather do the actual work for free than send one more ‘gentle reminder’ email.”
“Client paid 40 minutes after I finally followed up. I'd spent three weeks agonizing over it.”
“They weren't avoiding me. The invoice was just buried in their inbox. I felt dumb for stressing.”
Sound familiar? That's the whole reason this exists. Be one of the first to try it.
$9 a month. That's it.
One plan. Everything included. No “contact sales,” no per-invoice fees, no features locked behind a tier named after a precious metal.
Free for your first 14 days. No card required.

Questions people actually ask
What is invoice reminder software?
It sends follow-up messages to clients who haven't paid, so you don't have to keep drafting "just bumping this" emails at 11pm. You add the invoice once; it handles the chasing. That's the whole idea.
How does automated invoice follow-up work?
Add your invoice details and your client's contact info. InvoiceRelief sends reminders on a schedule (Day 1, 7, 15, 30, 45) using the templates above. When the client pays, you stop the sequence in one click. You can change the timing and the wording whenever you like.
Can I send invoice reminders via WhatsApp?
Yes — that's the thing nobody else does. Email and WhatsApp, separately or together. WhatsApp messages actually get read (open rates around 98% vs roughly 20% for email), which is why we built it in the first place.
Do I need my client's WhatsApp number?
Only if you want WhatsApp delivery. Email works with just an email address. That said, most freelancers already have their client's number from project chats — if you have it, use it. If not, email-only still works well.
How much does invoice reminder software cost?
InvoiceRelief is $9/month, flat, for unlimited invoices and reminders — or $90/year if you'd rather pay once and forget about it (that's two months free). For comparison: Chaser is $259/month, HoneyBook $36, Dubsado $35.
Is there a free trial?
Yes — 14 days, all features, no credit card. If it doesn't get you paid faster, walk away. You won't get a guilt-trip email from us about it.
Will automated reminders make me look like a jerk?
No — because the templates escalate slowly and sound like a human, not a collections agency. The first message is genuinely friendly. Most clients reply with "so sorry, paying now!" and think no less of you. Honestly, they'll respect you more than if you'd waited three months and then exploded.
What if my client blocks me on WhatsApp?
Let's be real: a client who blocks a polite payment reminder was never going to pay you politely. It's rare — most people just pay or reply. If it happens, your email reminders still land, and you now have a tidy paper trail of every attempt. Either way, they've told you exactly what kind of client they are.
What if they reply with questions?
Replies come straight back to you — InvoiceRelief never answers on your behalf or swallows a conversation. If a client asks something, you reply like normal. And if they say "paying Friday!", you can pause or stop the sequence with one click so they don't get nudged again.
What if my client is genuinely broke?
Then let's be real: no software will fix that, and we won't pretend otherwise. What InvoiceRelief fixes is the 90% of late payments that are just... forgetfulness. Those are the ones costing you sleep.
Can I customize the templates?
Every word. Start with the five built-in ones and tweak them, or write your own from scratch. You can also change the timing of each step.
Is this legal in my country?
Sending payment reminders to your own clients about invoices they owe you is legal everywhere we know of — it's the same as messaging them yourself, just scheduled. InvoiceRelief works in 50+ countries including the US, UK, EU, Australia, and India. These are transactional messages to existing clients, not marketing blasts — but we're not your lawyer, so check your local rules if you're unsure.
The next invoice you send could be the last one you chase.
