Whole AR process, automated
"Since we started using Paidnice only a short time ago, we have seen a drastic improvement in how much quicker our clients are paying our invoices. The whole accounts receivable process is totally automated now and being able to set up a customisable set of emails for different client groups has been great."

Questions, answered

Common questions about switching from ezyCollect

Everything you'd want to know before starting a trial. Can't find what you're looking for? Reach out to our team.

Is Paidnice a good alternative to ezyCollect?
For Xero and QuickBooks Online businesses, yes — especially growing ones. Paidnice covers the same core jobs (reminders, late fees, statements, payment plans, escalations, customer portal) with no setup fees, no demo requirement to start, and no per-debtor pricing. ezyCollect has stronger MYOB Advanced and Sage X3 ERP integrations and offers illion credit data; if you're on those ERPs or need built-in Australian credit checking, ezyCollect may fit better. For most growing Xero or QuickBooks businesses, Paidnice does the same work without the upfront commitment.
How does Paidnice's pricing compare to ezyCollect's?
Paidnice Essentials is AU$99/month flat. Pro is AU$139/month flat. No setup fees. No per-user fees. No per-debtor scaling. No 20% surcharge for monthly billing. ezyCollect's Xero plan starts at AU$125/month plus a one-off $700–$900 setup fee, with annual billing required to get advertised pricing. See pricing in your currency →
Do I have to book a demo to try Paidnice?
No. Sign up, connect Xero or QuickBooks in one click, and you're running. The free trial covers your first 20 invoice actions — enough to see reminders, late fees, and statements working end-to-end before you commit. No card required, no sales call required.
Does Paidnice work with MYOB Advanced or Sage?
No, not directly. Paidnice is purpose-built for Xero and QuickBooks Online — both with full two-way sync. If your business runs on MYOB Advanced, Sage 200 / X3, or NetSuite, ezyCollect or another enterprise AR vendor may be a better fit. For Xero or QuickBooks-based businesses, Paidnice goes deeper than ezyCollect on those two integrations specifically.
Does Paidnice have credit checking like ezyCollect's illion integration?
Paidnice doesn't include built-in credit bureau integration. We track customer payment behaviour and risk-score customers based on their actual history with you, which catches issues earlier than a static credit report. If formal credit checking via illion or Equifax is a hard requirement for your industry, you'll need a separate provider.
Can I switch from ezyCollect without interrupting reminders?
Yes. Standard practice is to run both side-by-side for a week: pause ezyCollect's automations (but don't cancel — you may have an annual contract), enable Paidnice on a small customer group to verify your templates and fee rules, then expand. Full phased switch typically takes a week. Note: ezyCollect setup fees are non-refundable, but you can avoid further subscription charges with 30 days' notice.
What results do Paidnice customers actually see?
The average DSO reduction across our customer base is 50%. Individual customers have reported moves like 113 days to 31 days in five months. ezyCollect publicly reports a 40–43% reduction in overdue outstandings in the first 12 months — a similar order of magnitude on a different metric. See customer success stories →
What does Paidnice not do that ezyCollect does?
Two honest gaps: (1) we don't integrate with MYOB Advanced, ABM, or Sage X3 — we focus on Xero and QuickBooks Online. (2) We don't include built-in illion credit checking. If those are dealbreakers, ezyCollect is the right tool. If you're on Xero or QuickBooks and want modern AR automation without setup fees or annual lock-in, Paidnice is built for you.
