Every agency hits the same wall: the work is done, the invoice is out, and now someone on your team has to spend Friday afternoon writing "just following up on the below" for the fourth time. "Invoice chasing software" is the category that takes that job off your desk. This is a straight look at the four tools agencies actually shortlist — what each one costs, who it's built for, and how much of the chase it really handles.
Short version: if you're an agency and you want the follow-up to sound like you wrote it, FetchDue is the closest fit and the cheapest place to start ($29/month). Chaser and Paidnice are strong, established receivables platforms built for finance teams rather than agencies. Invoiced is enterprise A/R automation. Details below.
What invoice chasing software should do for an agency
Agencies aren't finance departments. The person chasing the invoice is usually the same person who runs the client relationship, so the bar is different from a generic dunning tool:
- Chase from your own mailbox, in your voice. A templated "payment reminder" from a platform address reads like a collections notice. To a client you talk to every week, it lands wrong.
- Handle the reply, not just the reminder. Scheduling a sequence is the easy 20%. The time sink is reading what the client wrote back — "can we split this?", "paying next week" — and drafting the right answer.
- Keep a human in the loop. You should approve what goes out before it reaches a client. Nothing about an agency relationship survives an automated message you didn't see.
- Price that doesn't punish growth. Many A/R tools tier by revenue or invoice volume, so your bill climbs as your agency does — for the same feature.
Score any tool against those four and the shortlist sorts itself out.
1. FetchDue — best for agencies specifically
Price: $29/month flat (Pro), 14-day trial, no card. Free tier for tracking invoices by hand.
FetchDue is the only tool here built only for agencies, and the only one where a human approves every send. It drafts each chase in your voice and sends it from your own mailbox, so to the client it reads like you wrote it. It reads every reply and acts on what the client actually said — a request to split the invoice becomes a drafted installment plan; a promise to pay is tracked and followed up if it slips; anything sensitive is handed straight back to you. You approve every message before it goes out.
The flat $29/month doesn't move when your agency grows — no revenue tiers, no per-invoice metering. The trade-off is focus: it isn't a general receivables suite with credit checking or a reporting stack, and it's aimed at agencies rather than horizontal finance teams. See how the agent works, or the head-to-head pages for FetchDue vs Chaser and FetchDue vs Paidnice.
Best for: agencies where the person chasing invoices is also the person on the account, and the chase has to sound human.
2. Chaser — best for finance teams that need credit control
Price: from $259/month USD (Compact; £199 / AUD 399), Core $779, Complete $1,169 — revenue-tiered, 10% off annual. Verified at chaserhq.com/pricing, 21 July 2026.
Chaser is a mature receivables platform: scheduled reminder sequences, receivables reporting, SMS and phone-call escalation with bundled credits, and built-in commercial credit checking so you can vet a customer before extending terms. It's a genuinely strong product — for a finance team. The entry Compact plan is capped at four users and gated by annual revenue, and the price steps up sharply at Core and Complete. For an agency owner who just wants overdue invoices chased in their own words, most of that surface area is spend you won't use. Full breakdown: FetchDue vs Chaser.
Best for: teams that need credit checking and a full receivables reporting suite, and have the revenue to sit in the tiers.
3. Paidnice — best for high-volume, accounting-native reminders
Price: from $69/month USD (Essentials, 150 invoices/mo), Pro $99–$799 by volume, Custom $999+. Verified at paidnice.com/pricing, 21 July 2026.
Paidnice plugs into Xero, QuickBooks, and Stripe and automates the receivables mechanics: reminders, automated statements, late fees, discounts, and payment plans, with a customer portal. It's the most accounting-native option here and reasonable at low volume, but it's priced and metered by invoice count — the Essentials plan caps at 150 invoices and 600 emails a month, and the Pro tiers climb to $799 as your volume does. Like Chaser, it's a horizontal A/R tool rather than something built for how an agency talks to its clients. Full breakdown: FetchDue vs Paidnice.
Best for: businesses that live in Xero or QuickBooks and want reminders and late fees automated at volume.
4. Invoiced — best for enterprise B2B finance
Price: quote-based — contact sales, no public pricing. Verified at invoiced.com, 21 July 2026.
Invoiced is full accounts-receivable automation for B2B finance teams: automated collections, integrated payments (ACH, card, virtual card), cash application and reconciliation, forecasting, and ERP/CRM integrations. It targets CFOs, controllers, and A/R managers across large organizations. There's no public price and no self-serve plan — you talk to sales. For most agencies it's more platform (and more procurement) than the problem calls for.
Best for: larger B2B organizations with a finance team and an ERP to integrate.

Frequently asked questions
What's the cheapest invoice chasing software for agencies? Of the tools built for this job, FetchDue is the lowest starting price at $29/month flat, with a free tier for tracking invoices by hand. Paidnice starts at $69/month and Chaser at $259/month (both verified 21 July 2026); Invoiced is quote-based.
Do these tools send reminders automatically without me? Most do — Chaser, Paidnice, and Invoiced run scheduled sequences on their own. FetchDue deliberately keeps you in the loop: it drafts every chase and reads every reply, but you approve each message before it reaches a client.
Will chasing invoices with software annoy my clients? It depends on how the message reads. A generic reminder from a platform address feels like a collections notice; a note that comes from your own mailbox in your own voice reads like a normal follow-up. That's the specific problem FetchDue is built to solve for agencies.
