  • Each tier caps debtors, users and workflows at 200/3/1, 500/5/3 and 1,500/10/5. Outgrowing any one cap moves you up a tier.
  • ezyCollect has been owned by Sidetrade since October 2025 and relaunched on 15 July 2026 as New ezyCollect with the AIMIE AI features.
  • Five alternatives compared below: CreditorWatch Collect, Chaser, Paidnice, Upflow and Kolleno, each with its price, pricing unit and one limitation.

ezyCollect's three published tiers

ezyCollect lists three tiers: ezyStart at A$275, ezyGrow at A$950 and ezyScale at A$2,350 a month, all ex-GST and all on an annual contract. A custom ezyUltimate tier sits above them.

These are the last published list prices (ezyCollect published pricing). Annual billing is the base price. Paying monthly adds 20%. Prices checked September 2026; confirm current pricing with the vendor.

What changed with Sidetrade and the July 2026 relaunch

ezyCollect was acquired by Sidetrade in October 2025 for about €37m and relaunched on 15 July 2026 as New ezyCollect, with an AI layer called AIMIE built into the platform.

Sidetrade completed the purchase on 27 October 2025, with an earn-out tied to revenue growth running to 2028. The Sydney-founded company had about 53 staff at the time and projected A$14m revenue for 2025 (ezyCollect and Sidetrade announcements).

AIMIE, as shipped today, gives daily collection-priority recommendations and benchmarking, and drives event-based automation in the reminder workflows. Sidetrade describes it as trained on its own B2B payments data lake. Treat any further AIMIE capability as announced rather than available until ezyCollect documents it.

Long-standing customers on older plans should ask which tier their renewal maps to, since the caps and the setup fee shown above may be new to their contract.

What drives the ezyCollect bill

ezyCollect sets the tier by three caps, debtors, users and workflows, then bills setup, card fees, messaging and collections activity separately, starting with a one-off A$900 setup fee.

  1. Debtor count. 200, 500, 1,500 or 3,000 debtors by tier. A ledger with 260 active customers needs ezyGrow, even if only two people use the tool.
  2. Users. 3, 5, 10 or 20 seats by tier. There is no per-user add-on; more seats means the next tier.
  3. Workflows. 1, 3, 5 or 10 reminder workflows by tier. Reminders run at customer level, so one workflow on ezyStart means one sequence for every customer.
  4. Contract term. Annual is the base price. Monthly billing is 20% higher.
Priced separatelyCost
Setup feeA$900 on ezyStart, up to A$3,900 on ezyGrow and above, paid once
Card payments1.75% + A$0.30 per transaction plus a A$90 (+GST) monthly gateway fee; New Zealand cards 2.90% + $0.30; surcharging can pass the fee to the customer
MessagingEmail included; SMS, mail and fax charged per message
Credit data40 to 140 credit scores a month by tier, paid report add-ons above that
Demand lettersA$49 (+GST) each, sent in-app
Collector referralCommission from 25% of the amount recovered, via external partners

Late fees and interest are not part of the platform, so there is no line for them and no offset from fee income (ezyCollect help centre).

What three Australian businesses pay a year

ezyCollect costs A$4,200 in year one for a small trade business on an annual contract, up to A$15,300 for a mid-sized wholesaler and up to A$32,100 for a A$20m distributor, before payment and messaging fees.

Three sizes, each placed on the lowest tier whose caps they fit. Figures are ex-GST and exclude card fees, SMS and demand letters.

A$2m revenue, 150 debtors, 2 users. ezyStart. A$275 x 12 = A$3,300 a year. Add the A$900 setup fee and year one is A$4,200. Year two onward is A$3,300. On monthly billing the subscription is A$330 x 12 = A$3,960.

A$8m revenue, 400 debtors, 4 users. ezyGrow, because 400 debtors is over the 200 cap. A$950 x 12 = A$11,400 a year. With setup at up to A$3,900, year one is up to A$15,300. On monthly billing the subscription is A$1,140 x 12 = A$13,680.

A$20m revenue, 1,200 debtors, 8 users. ezyScale. A$2,350 x 12 = A$28,200 a year. With setup at up to A$3,900, year one is up to A$32,100. On monthly billing the subscription is A$2,820 x 12 = A$33,840.

If any of the three takes card payments through the platform, add the gateway fee: A$90 x 12 = A$1,080 a year plus 1.75% + A$0.30 on every transaction. A business collecting A$500,000 by card over the year pays about A$8,750 in percentage fees before the per-transaction cents.

Is ezyCollect worth the price

ezyCollect earns its A$275 to A$2,350 a month for Australian and New Zealand mid-market businesses with a few hundred debtors, an ERP such as MYOB Exo, Pronto or SAP Business One, and a need for credit checks and collections in one tool.

The strongest case is a trade or wholesale business on an ERP the smaller tools skip. ezyCollect covers MYOB AccountRight, Exo and Acumatica, NetSuite, Dynamics, Sage 300 and Intacct, SAP B1, Pronto Xi and Attaché, alongside Xero and QuickBooks Online. If your ledger is on that list and you want illion credit data in the same workflow, the tier price buys something the cheaper apps do not offer.

ezyCollect pricing and alternatives: five options at a different price point

ezyCollect's A$275 entry price sits between five alternatives: CreditorWatch Collect and Paidnice for the Australian small and mid-market, Chaser for larger UK teams, and Upflow and Kolleno for enterprise groups on NetSuite and SAP.

Each option below is size-led, with the pricing unit and one honest limitation. Prices are the vendor's native currency with USD in brackets where the vendor does not bill in USD.

CreditorWatch Collect: best for Australian businesses that want humans to make the calls

  • Fits: AU and NZ businesses on Xero, MYOB or QuickBooks that want reminders plus an outsourced AR calling team and one-click escalation to debt collection.
  • Entry cost: Not published. The pricing page shows a 14-day free trial and a custom, sales-assisted plan (CreditorWatch Collect pricing page).
  • Pricing unit: Custom quote; earlier tiers were set by debtor count.
  • Runs on: Xero (24-hour sync), MYOB, QuickBooks; Zapier for the rest.
  • Late fees and interest: None.
  • The one thing it does best: AR Specialists, a human calling service that works as part of your credit control team, with call recordings and notes pushed to Xero.
  • Limitation: Its own FAQ says you will still need to make escalation calls, and the Xero sync runs once a day.

Chaser: best for larger UK teams that want every channel in one tool

  • Fits: Established UK businesses around £4m turnover and up that chase by email, SMS, letter and call and want credit checks in the same app. Chaser here is chaserhq.com, the credit control software.
  • Entry cost: £199 a month (about $259) on Compact, then £599 (about $779) and £899 (about $1,169) (Chaser pricing page).
  • Pricing unit: Company revenue band; Compact covers up to £4m.
  • Runs on: Xero, QuickBooks, Sage, NetSuite, Dynamics 365 and more.
  • Late fees and interest: Yes, four calculation types including the Bank of England base rate.
  • The one thing it does best: Multi-channel chasing with credit checks by Creditsafe and a managed AR service, Chaser Care, from £324 a month.
  • Limitation: One global late fee rule only, so the fee cannot vary by customer group, and SMS, calls and letters are credit-metered.

Paidnice: best for the $1m to $20m business on Xero or QuickBooks Online

  • Fits: Finance teams between $1m and $20m a year that want automated reminders and statements, with late fees and interest as an optional lever.
  • Entry cost: $69 a month (£49, A$99) on Essentials; Pro from $99 (£74, A$139) with unlimited users (Paidnice pricing).
  • Pricing unit: Invoices sent a month, not revenue, debtors or seats.
  • Runs on: Xero and QuickBooks Online natively; NetSuite, MYOB, Sage Intacct and Dynamics 365 Business Central on the Custom plan.
  • Late fees and interest: Yes, an invoice late fee and a statement interest charge, both posted to the ledger, switched on per customer group.
  • The one thing it does best: Late fees and interest that land on the ledger in Xero or QuickBooks, so they enter the customer's payables and payment run.
  • Limitation: No credit checks, and ERPs beyond Xero and QuickBooks Online need the Custom plan from $999 (£749, A$1,499).

Upflow: best for finance teams that lead with AR analytics

  • Fits: Growth companies on NetSuite, Sage Intacct, QuickBooks or Xero that want DSO and collection analytics first and reminders second.
  • Entry cost: Last published list prices $440 a month (Grow) and $880 a month (Scale). Today every tier is quote-only by annual invoiced revenue band (Upflow pricing page).
  • Pricing unit: Annual gross invoice value band, from up to $10m to above $100m; seats unlimited. Payments add-on $390 a month plus card 3.5% + $0.30 and ACH 0.8% capped at $5.
  • Runs on: QuickBooks, NetSuite, Sage Intacct, Xero, Stripe Billing, Chargebee, Zuora.
  • Late fees and interest: Only through the ERP; no native calculation.
  • The one thing it does best: AR reporting: countback DSO, collection effectiveness, at-risk rate and cohort cash forecasting.
  • Limitation: Automatic actions fire once a day on business days only, and there are no payment plans, only customer partial payments.

Kolleno: best for multi-entity groups on enterprise ERPs

  • Fits: Groups above $1m turnover on NetSuite, SAP, Dynamics or Oracle that need cash application and reconciliation as much as chasing.
  • Entry cost: $650 per user a month ($545 on annual billing) on BusinessPay; Business Plus $1,245 ($995 annual) (Kolleno pricing page).
  • Pricing unit: Per user, with turnover minimums per tier.
  • Runs on: Xero, QuickBooks Online and Sage Intacct on the two published tiers; NetSuite, SAP, Dynamics and Oracle on Enterprise.
  • Late fees and interest: None found.
  • The one thing it does best: Cash application: remittance parsing, bank files in BAI2, NACHA and ISO 20022 formats, and NetSuite multi-currency journals.
  • Limitation: Per-user pricing, so every added seat adds $545 to $650 a month to the bill.

The Chaser pricing and alternatives guide covers Compact, Core and Complete. Across the whole category, credit control software pricing compares every pricing model. The ezyCollect alternative page sets Paidnice and ezyCollect side by side.

How Paidnice prices the same job

Paidnice starts at $69 a month (£49, A$99) and is priced by the number of invoices you send each month, not by your revenue, your debtor count or your seat count. Pro includes unlimited users, with no contracts or lock-ins.

Essentials covers 150 invoices a month with two team members at $69 (£49, A$99). Pro starts at $99 (£74, A$139) for 300 invoices, then scales by volume: $179 (£129, A$269) for 600, $279 (£199, A$419) for 1,000, $489 (£349, A$679) for 2,000, up to $799 (£599, A$1,199) for 4,000. Custom, from $999 (£749, A$1,499), adds ERP integrations such as NetSuite and MYOB (Paidnice pricing).

The same three Australian businesses on Pro, with an assumed invoice volume for each, annual cost ex-GST:

  • A$2m revenue, about 100 invoices a month: Pro 300 at A$139 x 12 = A$1,668 a year. No setup fee is listed.
  • A$8m revenue, about 400 invoices a month: Pro 600 at A$269 x 12 = A$3,228 a year.
  • A$20m revenue, about 900 invoices a month: Pro 1,000 at A$419 x 12 = A$5,028 a year.

Each tier includes email and SMS reminders, automatic statements, payment plans, a customer portal and escalation workflows. SMS is A$0.15 each. Late fees and interest are included and optional: switch them on per customer group when you want overdue invoices to cost the customer something, and waive them deliberately when you do not.

The honest limits: Paidnice runs natively on Xero and QuickBooks Online, has no credit checks, and is not built for enterprise groups.

💡 Paidnice insight

A late fee earns its keep when it lands on the ledger, so it enters the customer's payables and their payment run. Priced by invoice volume, a growing customer list costs nothing extra, and customers cut their average wait for payment in half, within 30 days.

Common questions about ezyCollect pricing

No. Each tier includes a fixed number of users: 3 on ezyStart, 5 on ezyGrow, 10 on ezyScale and 20 on ezyUltimate. To add a user beyond the cap you move to the next tier, which also raises the debtor and workflow limits.

Card payments cost 1.75% + A$0.30 per transaction in Australia (2.90% + $0.30 in New Zealand), plus a A$90 (+GST) monthly gateway fee. Automatic and customer-level surcharging can pass the card fee to the payer. Direct debit, EFT and US ACH are also supported.

Which ezyCollect alternative is cheapest for a small Australian business?
