Stripe Invoicing: features, pricing and who it fits
Stripe Invoicing charges a percentage of each paid invoice, 0.4% on Starter and 0.5% on Plus, instead of a seat or monthly fee. It supports many payment methods and sends reminders automatically. Time tracking is absent, and G2 users rate support lowest.
Who Stripe Invoicing is for
Best for
- Businesses already processing payments through Stripe
- Teams that want no seat fee and no fixed monthly cost
Look elsewhere if
- Service firms needing time tracking and expense billing
- Teams that want a standalone accounting or AP tool

Pros and cons
What users like
- Easy setup and administration
- Fits naturally if Stripe already handles payments
Common complaints
- Limited invoicing depth versus dedicated tools (inferred from small-team skew; not confirmed by the vendor)
- Support quality scored lowest of sub-ratings (8.1)
Integrations, security and hosting
- Security and compliance
- PCI Service Provider Level 1, SOC 1 Type II, SOC 2 Type II, SOC 3 (public report)
Worth knowing before you buy
- Pricing is per paid invoice (0.4% or 0.5%), so cost scales with invoice value, not seats
- A $100,000 paid invoice costs $400 on Starter in invoicing fees, on top of payment fees
- No setup fees or fixed monthly fee on Starter
- Stripe dashboard supports SAML 2.0 SSO and SCIM; audit via security history log
- Only 24 G2 reviews, so the 4.1 rating is a thin sample
