Invoice2go and SMASH Invoices are both mobile invoicing apps for Australian sole traders, but they serve different workflows. Invoice2go is a form-based app requiring manual data entry, best for sole traders who invoice at a desk once or twice a week. SMASH Invoices is voice-first, designed for on-site invoicing in under 60 seconds, best for sole traders who invoice multiple times per day and want to do it before leaving the job. The right choice depends on how and when you invoice.

Side by side

Who Invoice2go is best for

Invoice2go is a solid invoicing app for sole traders who:

• Prefer a familiar form-based interface
• Invoice from a desk or have time to type
• Need Android support now
• Want the lowest-cost paid invoicing tool
• Already have a workflow they're comfortable with

If you invoice 3–5 times per week and sit down to do it at the end of the day, Invoice2go works well. The templates are clean, the GST calculation is automatic, and the per-invoice time of 4–8 minutes is manageable at low volume.

Who SMASH Invoices is best for

SMASH Invoices is built specifically for sole traders who:

• Invoice multiple times per day
• Work on-site and want to invoice before leaving
• Don't want to type — either due to preference, dirty hands, or dyslexia
• Want materials priced automatically from a voice description
• Invoice from the van, roof, or customer's driveway

If you do 10–25 invoices per week and hate the Sunday pile, SMASH removes the bottleneck entirely. At 30 seconds per invoice versus 6 minutes per invoice, the annual time difference is 65+ hours.

The honest pricing comparison

Invoice2go's Starter plan at $5.99/month sounds cheaper. But:

• SMASH Invoices' time advantage recovers its cost difference in recovered time within the first week of use
• The Australian materials catalogue on SMASH typically adds $50–$100 per week in correctly captured materials charges that Invoice2go users miss
• SMASH's personal catalogue learns from your existing invoices, Invoice2go requires manual rate entry

The $9/month price difference is irrelevant next to the time savings and materials capture improvement.

Frequently asked questions

Is SMASH Invoices more expensive than Invoice2go? SMASH Invoices starts at $14.99/month versus Invoice2go's $5.99/month Starter plan. However, SMASH users typically capture $50–$150 more per week in correctly priced materials through voice description compared to manually typed invoices. The price difference is recovered within the first week for most sole traders.

Does Invoice2go work in Australia? Yes. Invoice2go is an Australian-founded app (acquired by MYOB) and includes full Australian GST support, ABN fields, and AUD pricing. It's a legitimate and widely-used tool for Australian sole traders.

Can I switch from Invoice2go to SMASH Invoices? Yes. SMASH Invoices can import your pricing history through the invoice upload onboarding, upload 1–3 of your existing Invoice2go PDFs and SMASH learns your rates automatically. No manual re-entry required.

Which app is better for cleaners? For cleaners doing 8–12 jobs per day, SMASH Invoices is significantly better, the ability to speak an invoice while locking up a property in under 20 seconds is practically impossible to replicate with a form-based app. Invoice2go would require 3–5 minutes of typing per job.

Does SMASH Invoices have Android support? Not yet. SMASH Invoices is currently iOS-only. Android is in development. For Android users, Invoice2go remains the better option until SMASH launches the Android version.
