The credit control specialists

Rated higher for credit control. Here's why.

Paidnice is built for credit control on Xero and QuickBooks. Not invoice financing. Not generic accounts software with credit control bolted on. Just credit control — done properly. That focus shows up in how customers rate us across every public review platform.

"Paidnice is a brilliant Xero app. It is so great at the core problems it sets out to help businesses solve. We have seen a reduction in late payments and bad debt in a relatively short timeframe since using it. The customer support is second to none, and compared to competitors in this space, it does as much if not more, and offers excellent value for money."

Why Paidnice

Why businesses choose Paidnice for credit control

Built specifically for credit control on Xero and QuickBooks. Every feature is designed around getting your invoices paid — not lending you money against unpaid ones.

Credit control is what we do

Paidnice exists for one reason: to get your invoices paid on time. Reminders, late fees, statements, escalations, payment plans — every feature is built for credit control. Not bolted on alongside lending or generic accounting features.

"Really saved us time in helping customers settle multiple part-paid Xero invoices in a single Stripe payment. Plugs this hole in Xero functionality. The Paidnice team were responsive and effective when I had support issues and creative with workarounds for our particular needs."

Questions, answered

Common questions about switching from Satago

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 Satago?
For credit control on Xero or QuickBooks, yes. Paidnice is built specifically for credit control — reminders, late fees, statements, payment plans, escalations, customer portal — at a flat monthly price rather than per-user pricing. Satago bundles credit control alongside invoice financing through its parent company Oxygen Finance and Experian credit data; if invoice financing is central to your workflow, Satago may fit better. For everyone focused on getting invoices paid faster, Paidnice's credit control specialism does the same work without the per-seat costs.
How does Paidnice's pricing compare to Satago's?
Paidnice Essentials is £59/month flat. Pro is £79/month flat. No per-user fees, no revenue caps, no tier jumps because your business grew. Satago's Desktop plan is per user, so the bigger your team, the more you pay. For most teams of 2+ people, Paidnice works out significantly cheaper. See pricing in your currency →
Does Paidnice support UK statutory interest and Bank of England rate changes?
Yes. Paidnice handles UK statutory interest under the Late Payment of Commercial Debts Act, with Bank of England base rate auto-indexing built in. When the BoE changes rates, your late fee calculations update automatically — no manual reconfiguration required. We also support compounding, fixed fees, percentage rates, per-customer-group rules, and per-annum calculations.
Does Paidnice work with QuickBooks Online?
Yes. Our QuickBooks integration is a full two-way sync — invoices, customers, payments, credit notes, and late fees all post back in real time. Same depth as our Xero integration. If you're on QuickBooks Online, Paidnice is purpose-built for you.
Does Paidnice offer invoice financing like Satago?
No. Paidnice is a focused credit control platform — we help you collect what you're already owed, faster. We don't lend money against unpaid invoices. We believe the fastest path to better cash flow is automating the collection process so invoices get paid on time, not borrowing against them. If invoice financing is a hard requirement, you may need a separate provider alongside whichever credit control tool you choose.
Can I switch from Satago without interrupting customer reminders?
Yes. Standard practice is to run both side-by-side for a week: pause Satago's automations (but don't cancel yet), enable Paidnice on a small customer group to verify your templates and fee rules, then expand and cancel Satago. Full phased switch typically takes about a week. Our team walks you through it directly.
What credit control results do Paidnice customers actually see?
The average DSO reduction across our customer base is 25%. Individual customers have reported moves like 113 days to 31 days in five months, and meaningful reductions in aged debt within the first quarter. See customer success stories →
Can I try Paidnice before paying?
Yes. 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.
