Their strengths
Where FusionInvoice wins.
Time tracking
FusionInvoice includes built-in time tracking. Log hours, assign them to tasks, and convert tracked time into invoice line items. InvoiceScript does not include time tracking.
Add-on marketplace
FusionInvoice has a paid add-on system for payment gateways (Stripe, PayPal, Mollie) and additional reports. InvoiceScript includes all features in the base purchase but does not offer payment gateway integrations.
Our strengths
Where InvoiceScript wins.
Actively maintained
InvoiceScript is actively developed on current PHP and Laravel. FusionInvoice was briefly discontinued in 2018, revived, and has had limited updates. For financial software, active maintenance is important.
EPC payment QR codes
Every EUR invoice includes an EPC QR code for instant SEPA bank transfers. No payment processor, no fees, no add-on required. FusionInvoice does not offer payment QR codes.
E-invoicing compliance
UBL 2.1 XML export for every finalized invoice. EN 16931 compatible data mapping. Prepared for upcoming EU e-invoicing mandates. FusionInvoice does not support structured e-invoicing formats.
All features included
Every feature is included in the base purchase. No paid add-ons for payment gateways, no separate report packs. InvoiceScript is one purchase, one product.
Summary
The verdict.
Choose FusionInvoice if you need time tracking built into your invoicing tool or want the option to add payment gateways through their add-on system. Verify the current release status before purchasing.
Choose InvoiceScript if you want an actively maintained invoicing tool with EU features (EPC QR codes, UBL XML, multi-rate VAT), all features included in one purchase, and a product with a clear development roadmap.
