Verdict

The call

The clearest difference is price: Invoice Maker at Free against Bookkeeping's $2.99. Invoice Maker also leads on rating (4.7 vs 3.7) and update cadence (every 2 weeks vs every 3 months). Bookkeeping's advantage is ads (none vs shown). On review sentiment, in-app purchases, device support and iOS requirement there is nothing between them.

Invoice Maker is free to download; Bookkeeping costs $2.99 up front. Bookkeeping sells 1 in-app purchase, starting at $2.99 per month and Invoice Maker sells 3 in-app purchases, starting at $11.99 per 7 days. Whichever you choose, the download price is not the number that matters.

ReceptionRating · Positive reviews · Number of ratings

Invoice Maker holds the better App Store score, 4.7 against 3.7. That said, the two scores are not equally well evidenced: Invoice Maker has 194 ratings behind it against 7, so its average is the more settled of the two. Written reviews complicate that: 74% of Bookkeeping's written reviews are positive against 67% of Invoice Maker's, so the app with the better star average is not the one people write more warmly about.

UpkeepUpdate frequency

Bookkeeping ships an update every 3 months, Invoice Maker every 2 weeks. Both last shipped on September 25, 2026.
