PaidPilot vs Invoice Simple: which should you use?
Checked Oct 2026
Invoice Simple publishes a web invoice generator and paid plans. PaidPilot is a free generator in your browser, with no account. The prices below are the ones on Invoice Simple's pricing page when we read it.
Their generator FAQ says: "Will my clients see 'Invoice Simple' on my invoices? Never. Regardless of whether you have a registered account or not, your generated invoices are always 100% unbranded." The generator page asks you to agree and continue before the tool. That is a terms step. This page does not claim it forces a paid account.
