ChaseBot was built with a different philosophy: SMS-first, simple by default, and affordable for every small business.
SMS reminders are included on every ChaseBot plan, including the free tier. No per-message fees, no credit packs. Paidnice charges $0.10 per SMS on top of your subscription. For a business sending 50 SMS reminders a month, that is an extra $5/month just for the channel that actually gets read.
ChaseBot is designed for small business owners who do not want to spend hours configuring policies. Connect Xero, pick a reminder flow, and you are done. The visual flow builder makes it easy to see exactly when each reminder goes out.
ChaseBot offers a permanent free plan covering 5 invoices per month with both SMS and email reminders. Paidnice only offers a time-limited trial. If you are a freelancer or sole trader with a handful of clients, ChaseBot can be completely free.
ChaseBot's paid plan is $29/month for 200 invoices with SMS included. Paidnice's Essentials plan covers 150 invoices for $39/month before SMS costs. To get 300 invoices on Paidnice, you need the $69/month Pro plan.
Credit where it is due. Paidnice is a mature, well-regarded product that does several things ChaseBot does not yet.
Paidnice connects to Xero, QuickBooks, MYOB, Sage, NetSuite, Stripe, Salesforce, and HubSpot. If you do not use Xero, Paidnice is likely the better choice right now. ChaseBot currently supports Xero only, with QuickBooks coming soon.
Paidnice can automatically apply late fees and interest charges to overdue invoices. This is a powerful feature for businesses that want to enforce payment terms. ChaseBot has this on the roadmap but does not offer it today.
Paidnice has been in the market longer and has thousands of active users across multiple platforms. They are a proven, trusted product in the AR automation space with strong organic visibility.
Paidnice offers a customer-facing payment portal where clients can view and pay outstanding invoices, plus automated statement generation. These are features ChaseBot does not have yet but that can be valuable for businesses with many recurring clients.
Paidnice is a solid, established AR automation tool with broad platform support and features like late fee automation and customer portals. If you need those features or use accounting software other than Xero, Paidnice is a strong choice.
ChaseBot takes a different approach. We believe the single most important thing in invoice chasing is whether your reminder actually gets seen. That is why SMS is at the core of everything we build, not bolted on as an extra-cost add-on.
If you use Xero and want a simple, SMS-first tool that costs less and includes everything in one flat price, ChaseBot is the better fit. If you need multi-platform support and advanced AR features like late fees, Paidnice has the edge, for now.
We are building fast. QuickBooks integration, late fee automation, and more are on the roadmap. But we would rather be honest about what we offer today than overpromise.
Start with the free plan. Connect Xero, set up your first reminder flow, and see why SMS reminders get results. No credit card required.
