Their strengths
Where Tradeshift wins.
Calendar sync
Two-way sync with Google Calendar, Outlook, and iCloud. Tradeshift reads your availability in real time. InvoiceScript manages availability through its own schedule system.
Payment collection
Collect payments at invoicing via Stripe or PayPal. InvoiceScript handles scheduling and confirmations but does not process payments.
Zero setup
Sign up, connect your calendar, share a link. No server, no installation. Tradeshift handles hosting, SSL, and uptime. InvoiceScript requires a server with PHP and a database.
Our strengths
Where InvoiceScript wins.
Four invoice templates, not one
Tradeshift does invoice management. InvoiceScript does invoices, recurring invoices, payment reminders, and quote management. One system covers freelancers, consultants, agencies, and small businesses.
Multi-business for agencies
One installation, unlimited businesses. Create a business for each client with their own invoice, schedule, customers, and branding. Tradeshift charges per seat per organization.
No per-seat pricing
One license. Add staff, add businesses, add customers. Tradeshift's per-seat model means costs scale with your team. InvoiceScript's costs stay flat.
Your data, your server
Customer data, invoicing records, and business settings stay on your infrastructure. No third-party data processor. Built-in privacy tools including data export and anonymization to support your GDPR obligations.
