Frequently asked questions
What does Hiveage cost?+
The paid plan starts at $19, which is above the €13.15 median across the listings. That entry price also ranks 99 out of 200 brands compared, so the free plan is the sensible first step for most readers.
Does Hiveage have a free plan?+
Yes. Hiveage has a free plan, and free plan and free trial covers both a free plan and a free trial. You can run invoices through it before you commit to the paid tier that starts at $19. Elsewhere in this category the median free trial runs to 15 days, so a trial is a normal step.
Which devices does Hiveage run on?+
The listed platform for Hiveage is ios. If your team works mainly on a desktop, check the platform list first, because ios is the only platform named for Hiveage, with no desktop or Android app listed.
How do I reach Hiveage support?+
Support runs on email, phone and help centre, so you can email, call or search the help centre. Having a phone line and a help centre together means you are not stuck waiting on email when a payment will not go through on the day of a sale.
Can customers pay by card through Hiveage?+
Hiveage lists 12 payment gateway integrations, so card payments can sit on the invoice itself instead of a separate checkout. Match those gateways against the providers your customers already use, since the list holds 12 options.
Who is Hiveage designed for?+
The stated audience for Hiveage is small business, and the free plan suits teams testing the workflow before paying. If you run a company with its own accounts department, a free tier built around invoicing may be a narrow fit.
How does Hiveage compare with Qonto, Accountable and Billy on price?+
Hiveage starts at $19. Qonto is listed at €9, Accountable at €9.90 and Billy at DKK 160, each in its own currency. Hiveage sits above the €16.66 median for accounting software, so the free plan does real work here.
Who runs Hiveage and how long has it been going?+
Hiveage is run by Hiveage Inc., headquartered in the United States and going back to 2014. Being a US company, its prices are in US dollars, which matters when you set them beside euro listings such as Qonto at €9.
