Zervant review

Zervant is built for small businesses in Europe and the UK, and its pricing page shows plans in euros, pounds, kronor and Swiss francs rather than US dollars. The free plan lets you invoice five customers with five invoices a month, sent by email or PDF, along with unlimited estimates, time tracking, the mobile app and online card and bank payments, which are charged per use through Stripe. Zervant's FAQ also mentions financial reports that can be exported for an accountant. Support is free and available in English, French, German, Finnish and Swedish. The limits are tight: converting estimates to invoices and payment reminders start on Starter, while recurring invoices, down payments and bank connection are in Pro. Monthly paid plans include a 14-day free trial, and cancelled accounts fall back to the free plan with data kept. A US business will find more room on Zoho Invoice or Wave, but a European sole trader billing a handful of clients can run on Zervant for free.

Who it is for

Small businesses in Europe and the UK that send a few invoices a month and need multilingual support.
