First, the honest bit
Chaser is not overpriced. It is priced for someone else
Chaser sits on top of an accounting system — Xero, QuickBooks, Sage — reads the ledger, and runs receivables chasing at the scale of a business with hundreds of open invoices. It has escalation paths, ownership, sender rotation, and reporting that a credit controller genuinely needs. Entry pricing sits around £50 a month and climbs from there.
For a company with a person whose job includes the phrase accounts receivable, that is inexpensive. For a designer with eleven open invoices and no accounting system at all, it is both expensive and irrelevant, because the first setup step is connecting a ledger they do not have.
So the useful question is not is there a cheaper Chaser. It is what does the same job look like when the buyer is one person.
Where the two actually differ
Prices are the published entry tiers in August 2026 and are the least stable row in this table.
| Dimension | Chaser | Late Invoice Nudges | Which matters to you |
|---|---|---|---|
| Source of truth | Your accounting ledger | The invoice email you already sent | If you have a ledger, the ledger is better |
| Setup | Connect Xero or QuickBooks, map fields | Forward one invoice, confirm the amount and date | Minutes versus an afternoon |
| Entry price | from about £50/mo | $19/mo expected | Only if the ledger is empty |
| Reporting | Full receivables analytics, DSO, ageing | One number: what is outstanding and how old | Chaser, decisively |
| Escalation to a human | Yes, with ownership and workflows | No | Chaser |
| Works with no accounting system | No | Yes | The entire reason this page exists |
If three or more of these rows favour Chaser for you, buy Chaser. This page is not trying to win an argument it should lose.
Use Chaser if any of these are true
This list is deliberately generous. The overlap between the two products is smaller than the category name suggests.
- You already run Xero, QuickBooks or Sage and keep it currentHalf of Chaser's value is that the ledger is the source of truth. Without a maintained ledger you are paying for an integration you cannot use.
- More than about forty invoices are open at onceBelow that a schedule is enough. Above it you need ageing, ownership and prioritisation, which is a different product.
- Somebody other than you sends the chasing emailsMulti-user sending, sender rotation and audit trails are not nice-to-haves once two people are involved; they are the product.
- You need to prove a chase history to a third partyFor a credit insurer, a factoring provider or a court, an exportable audit trail matters more than the emails themselves.
- Your invoices routinely pass through a purchase-order processPO matching is real work and a lightweight tool will not do it.
If none of these are true, the honest recommendation is a schedule and five short emails — which you can have for nothing from the templates page.
The smaller shape
What the one-person version leaves out on purpose
No ledger sync. The invoice is whatever you already sent, and the only facts needed are the amount, the due date and the address it went to.
No analytics. Days sales outstanding is a real metric and it means very little on a sample of eleven invoices; there is a page on why. A single list, sorted by how late things are, carries all the signal at this scale.
No collections integration, no credit scoring, no dunning branding. Those exist because at large volume the relationship is abstract. At eleven invoices the relationship is a person you will probably work with again, and every feature that makes chasing feel institutional is actively harmful.
Priced in the open, before it exists
