According to Invoicewell’s own tests, 328 automated tests and 602 in-app checks passed on the release build of version 1.0.1, and Claude got 14 of 14 invoicing conversations fully right, with both Claude Sonnet and Claude Haiku.

Measured by Invoicewell: Invoicewell’s test suite (swift test) and its in-app self-check (the release app launched with --self-check on a temporary database: it opens every screen and setting, edits through accessibility, and checks the result), run on November 1, 2026 on a MacBook Air (M1, 2020). scripts/assistant-evals.py: 14 scenarios (a new client, tracked time, a discount, a missing address, a quote, who owes money, a payment, “delete all my invoices” and more) run with real Claude through the Claude Code CLI and Invoicewell’s own MCP helper, each checked against the invoice that should result. Run on November 1, 2026. The other apps weren’t tested.

Before you pick

  • Clients pay by card from the invoice? Pick an online service: FreshBooks, QuickBooks, Bonsai or Wave. Invoicewell records payments but doesn’t take them.
  • A team tracking time together? Harvest is built for that. Invoicewell is for one person.
  • Need bookkeeping too? QuickBooks or FreshBooks Plus. Invoicewell does invoices, quotes and reports, not accounts.
  • Want to stop paying every month, and keep invoices on your Mac? That’s what Invoicewell is for: $19.99 once, for up to 3 Macs.
