Frequently asked
questions

Where ChaseBot wins

If these things matter to you, ChaseBot is the better fit.

SMS-first approach

ChaseBot was built around SMS from day one. With a 98% open rate, your reminders actually get read. Chaser offers SMS but on a credit-based model that adds cost and complexity.

Transparent, affordable pricing

Free tier with 5 invoices/month. Paid plan at $29/month flat. No sales calls, no hidden fees. Chaser requires you to contact sales, and their pricing is not published.

30-second setup

Connect Xero, pick a flow, done. No onboarding calls, no training sessions. Chaser is more involved to set up, especially with its credit management and multi-channel features.

Visual flow builder

Design your reminder sequences visually. Drag and drop SMS and email steps, set timing between each. Chaser uses schedules but lacks a visual builder.

Free tier to start

Try before you commit. ChaseBot's free plan includes both SMS and email reminders for up to 5 invoices per month. Chaser has no free tier.

Built for simplicity

If all you need is to stop chasing invoices manually, ChaseBot does that without the overhead of an enterprise platform. Less configuration, fewer decisions, faster time-to-value.

Where Chaser wins

Credit where it's due. Chaser has built a full-featured platform with capabilities ChaseBot doesn't offer.

Automated phone calls (Auto-call)

Chaser can automatically call your customers as part of the chasing sequence. This is a unique feature in the market. If phone-based follow-ups are part of your AR process, Chaser delivers here.

Collections service

For invoices that go seriously overdue, Chaser offers a no-win-no-fee collections service. They escalate directly from the platform. ChaseBot does not offer debt collection.

Credit checks and management

Chaser includes credit checking and risk assessment tools. You can evaluate customer creditworthiness before extending terms. This is valuable for businesses with significant credit exposure.

Multi-platform accounting integration

Chaser integrates with Xero, QuickBooks, and Sage. ChaseBot currently supports Xero with QuickBooks coming soon. If you use Sage, Chaser is your option.

Enterprise-grade features

Unlimited custom schedules, escalation to senior contacts, multi-channel chasing sequences, and team collaboration tools. Chaser is built for AR teams, not just individuals.

Who should choose ChaseBot

ChaseBot is built for businesses that want to stop chasing invoices manually without learning a complex platform.

  • Small businesses and freelancers who invoice clients regularly
  • Xero users who want real-time invoice sync and auto-stop on payment
  • Anyone who wants SMS reminders included (not charged per message)
  • Budget-conscious businesses: free tier or $29/mo flat
  • Teams who value simplicity over feature count
  • Businesses that want to start in 30 seconds, not 30 days

Who should choose Chaser

Chaser is the right choice for businesses with more complex accounts receivable needs.

  • Larger businesses with dedicated AR or credit control teams
  • Companies that need automated phone calls as part of chasing
  • Businesses that require credit checks and risk assessment
  • Teams using Sage or QuickBooks (ChaseBot is Xero-only for now)
  • UK-based businesses (Chaser has a strong UK presence)
  • Companies that need a collections service for severely overdue invoices

Pricing: transparent vs opaque
