Invoice reminders for solo pros & small trades
Stop chasing unpaid invoices. Get paid on time, automatically.
You send the invoice. FieldNudge handles the polite follow-ups until it's marked paid. No awkward calls, no accounting bloat, and 0% cut of your hard-earned cash.
“Doesn't QuickBooks, FreshBooks, or PayPal already send reminders?”
They have a checkbox for it. But here is why solo operators and independent trades choose a dedicated, zero-friction ledger instead of bloated accounting suites:
| Criteria | Accounting Bloat (QuickBooks / FreshBooks / PayPal) | FieldNudge (The Dignified Ledger) |
|---|---|---|
| Setup & Client Effort | ✕Buried in accounting menus. Often forces your client to create an account and password. | ✓Ready in 60 seconds. Client taps one link in the email — no logins, no app to install. |
| Escalation & Tone | ✕Rigid, sterile, or robotic 'Overdue notice' that annoys recurring long-term relationships. | ✓6 polite, human-written stages. Escalates from a warm heads-up to calm resolve. |
| Follow-up Rhythm | ✕Usually fires once and gives up. If ignored, you are right back to awkward phone calls. | ✓Relentless automatic schedule (Due-3d, Due, +3d, +7d, +14d, +30d) until marked paid. |
| Cost & Take-Rate | ✕$35–$70/mo accounting bloat + takes a 2.9% cut of your hard-earned money. | ✓Flat $9/mo, 1st month free. 0% transaction fee — keep 100% of every dollar you collect. |
Gentle first, firmer only if it drags on
See the exact emails sent to your clients. Calibrated to protect your ongoing relationships — never sounding like an aggressive debt collector.
