does NOT work, No support
By 
Bought the plugin, installed it and it had issues. Contacted support multiple times, never got a reply. requested refund multiple times no response. Disputing through paypal now.
DO NOT recommend.
non existant support for broken app
By 
Broken app and support is non existent. Responses to troubleshooting take over a week to respond so that they drag you out past the 30 days and won't offer a refund. The app crashed the hosting server, and is full of coding bugs.
Stay away and save your money.
Decent, but SLOW
By 
The software itself is decent, but has a few annoying glitches (like checking off the "gst" checkbox doesn't always turn it off, I have to click the "save" button twice to do anything, stuff like that), but I would have given four stars if it weren't for how SLOW it is. It takes several minutes to save, and while I am saving it seems to take up every thread of memory my website has. I can't do ANYTHING else while waiting for these invoices to save. Opening a PDF? Takes like 2 minutes. It's a real pain in the butt, and interrupts my work flow quite a bit
editing after a year and a half - this is not good software. I'm sorry, but the glitches keep piling up and the previously mentioned issues have not been resolved. Recurring invoices don't reoccur on the correct dates, and may go months without re-occurring, until suddenly you have 5 of the same invoice being created in a single day. Reminders don't go out when they are supposed to, and I constantly have to manually do work that is supposed to be automated. It also doesn't create invoice titles with any regularity either.
Very unprofessional plugin. I'll be removing it shortly and cancelling my paid subscription. I'm really disappointed in this.
Basic feature doesn't work, terrible support
By 
I used to love Sprout. Unfortunately a very basic feature - set currency code per client - no longer works and paid support is terrible. Pitty. They used to be great.
The support is amazing
By 
I first would like to thank support for being spontaneous to supporting their customers even the free ones. I had the privledge to work with other online invoice systems and very few are able to do what Sprout Invoices can do.
The feature that I enjoy is the ability to send my clients a text message for them to review agreement and make payments.
Highly Disappointed
By 
I AM EXTREMELY DISAPPOINTED WITH THIS SOFTWARE. TO ADD INSULT TO INJURY THEY BILLED ME AFTER I CANCELLED. STAY AWAY FROM THIS SOFTWARE! I paid to use it for years and ignored the many bugs, but recently they did an “update” and I could no longer process payments. After days of tech support and not being able to accept payments, when I got it to work, they did another update and once again I was no longer able to accept payments. When you create an invoice, the default state is paid, so if you save without going thru the step of marking it unpaid, it will save as paid and then you have to delete it and start over > highly aggravating. If you export your data, the import format is completely different from the export file, so it is complicated to move information without understanding SQL. STAY AWAY FROM THIS SOFTWARE!!! I have a whole list of bugs. You don't want all of these hassles when it comes to handling your money.
After months of trying to get help, on 6/14/24 they told me that the latest update fixed the problems, but all of the new bugs were still there. It seems they keep rolling out buggy updates without beta testing first.
Stay Away
By 
Sorry, I really tried to love this plugin, bought the pro version. Just not worth it, even as "affordable" as it is. Which is 30% more for me because I'm in Canada.
Issues: (in Pro version bundled addons and some basic stuff in the free version)
- the time tracker that supposedly integrates and syncs with Toggl doesn't work
- the automated invoice number generator doesn't work -- as in unless you use the default post id generated in WP as the invoice number, the customer cannot use the Pay button in their portal. It becomes non-functional if you use the customized generation of invoice numbers.
- it lacks variety of invoice templates and there is no way to truly customize them outside of picking colours and adding a logo.
- There are long times (days--like 5 and longer) waiting for support replies. Then the replies are just apologies, known bug, working on a fix but "excuses...", then the ticket gets closed without any fix or followup.
The principle is cool. I love the premise of having invoices made in WordPress environment. But this plugin lacks a true time tracker (this one includes a manual place where you can type in how much time you spent and some notes and log the time, but it doesn't ACTUALLY track the time--like a start and stop watch as I would have expected.)
The look and feel is as though it's cobbled together with ACF. It does not work with the page builder that I tried styling it with (DIVI).
I'd like invoicing to be a feel-good, happy experience,(because invoicing means you're gonna get money, right?!?) and this plugin does not come close to achieving that.
Basics are OK, has bugs, and they disable features on the fly! Breaking my site
By 
basics work fine, but has bugs with extensions, like the recurring invoice which is very buggy on our install, so 1 star lost for that, the other lost because they disable pdf export after license expired, most plugins charge for support only, to disable functionality on someones site remotely and automatically is unforgivable, will never trust the authors again.
Fast and expert support, Problem resolved!
