Zoho Invoice has a free forever plan for small businesses. Invotify does not have a free plan — Starter is €19/month, Pro is €49/month, and the Lifetime plan is a one-time payment of €499. Invotify's plans add EU e-invoicing, VIES VAT validation, and 21 UI languages that Zoho Invoice does not include.
Zoho Invoice itself does not export EU structured e-invoice formats such as UBL 2.1, CII, XRechnung, Factur-X, or Peppol BIS 3.0. Zoho Books (a separate, paid product) supports Belgium Peppol, but not across the full EU mandate landscape. Invotify Pro exports all major EU e-invoicing formats directly, with no additional products required.
No. Zoho Invoice does not have a native EU VIES VAT number lookup. Invotify includes VIES validation on every plan — enter a VAT ID and the customer's registered name and address are filled in automatically.
Zoho Invoice is the free standalone invoicing tool with limited compliance features. Zoho Books is Zoho's paid accounting platform that offers more compliance coverage (including some Peppol support for Belgium). For EU businesses needing UBL, XRechnung, Factur-X, or Peppol BIS 3.0, Invotify Pro is a dedicated solution that covers these formats across EU member states — without requiring an upgrade to a full accounting suite.
