The self-hosted Invoicely alternative
Invora — Self-hosted invoicing software, bought once — $99 one-time, full PHP source, runs on ordinary shared hosting. Own it once, run it on your own server, and stop paying Invoicely every month.
Stop renting Invoicely
10 months of Invoicely equals this one-time price.
Assumption: Invoicely has a genuine free tier capped at five invoices a month; the figure cited is the first paid tier, capped at a hundred. Invora has no invoice cap and no monthly fee.
How Invoicely pricing grows with you
Invoicely meters by INVOICES PER MONTH and clients saved: the cap rises with the tier.

What Invoicely does that we don't
Invoicely is cheap, hosted, and free for a very small practice.

Who should stay with Invoicely
Stay with Invoicely if five invoices a month covers you — its free tier is a fair deal at that size. Invora is for the practice that sends more than that and wants the ledger on its own server. Full honest limitations are on the product page.
Why owning beats renting Invoicely
- One payment. No monthly, per-seat, or per-location fees — the license is perpetual.
- Your data stays on your server. It never lives in Invoicely's cloud.
- No plan ceilings. Records and users are limited by your hosting, not a pricing tier.
- It keeps working if the vendor doesn't. Self-hosted software can't be sunset or price-hiked out from under you.
Fair trade-offs: you host it, back it up, and apply updates yourself — see the product page for honest limitations, and the full Invora vs Invoicely comparison.
