# BillNama vs Nova Invoice

The clearest difference is monetization model: BillNama at free with in-app purchases against Nova Invoice's subscription. BillNama also leads on update cadence (every 2 weeks vs every 2 months). Nova Invoice's advantage is ads (none vs shown) and review sentiment (74% vs 46%). On price, rating, in-app purchases and device support there is nothing between them.

Both are free to download. BillNama sells 6 in-app purchases, starting at $1.99 per 3 months and Nova Invoice sells 2 in-app purchases, starting at $4.99 per month. Whichever you choose, the download price is not the number that matters.

On the App Store both sit at effectively the same score — 4.5 for BillNama against 4.5 for Nova Invoice. That said, the two scores are not equally well evidenced: Nova Invoice has 340 ratings behind it against 49, so its average is the more settled of the two. Written reviews are what separate them: 46% of BillNama's written reviews are positive against 74% of Nova Invoice's.

BillNama ships an update every 2 weeks, Nova Invoice every 2 months. Both last shipped on November 11, 2026.
