Invoice Rescue vs Chaser

Invoice Rescue vs Chaser: which is better for chasing overdue invoices?

Chaser is credit-control software you run yourself, with an optional paid add-on if you want a human doing it. Invoice Rescue is a fully-managed service from the start — nothing to configure, a human reviews every message before it sends. Which is "better" depends on whether you want a tool or a team.

Not to be confused with the Slack task-management app that also uses the name "Chaser" (trychaser.com). This page compares Invoice Rescue against Chaser's credit-control software and services at chaserhq.com.

Strengths on both sides

Where each one genuinely wins

Invoice Rescue

  • Nothing to set up or configure — send your ledger, we take it from there
  • A human reviews every chase message before it sends, at every tier
  • Fully-managed price starts well below Chaser's equivalent add-on
  • Free statutory interest calculator, no account needed
  • New company — one published case study so far, not a decade of reviews
  • No deep ERP integrations yet (Sage, NetSuite, SAP, Dynamics)

Chaser

  • Established since 2014, 10,000+ users, multiple industry awards
  • Deep integrations across major accounting and ERP platforms
  • Powerful automation, forecasting and credit-monitoring tools
  • The software itself is DIY — you build and run the chase sequences
  • The human-managed tier costs roughly 2.5x Invoice Rescue's top plan
Verdict

So which should you actually use?

If you want software you run yourself — with deep accounting-system integrations and forecasting tools, and you're happy configuring chase sequences — Chaser is the more mature product. If you want the chasing fully off your plate from day one, with a human reviewing every message and no platform to learn, Invoice Rescue does that as its core product, at a lower price than Chaser's comparable managed tier. The honest comparison is Invoice Rescue vs Chaser's "+Care" add-on, not vs Chaser's base software price — they're solving a different problem at that entry price point.

Questions people actually ask

FAQ

Is Invoice Rescue a good Chaser alternative?

If what you want from Chaser is the human-managed side — their "Care" add-on — yes. Invoice Rescue does that as the core product from £349/month, not as an add-on to a separate software subscription. If you specifically need Chaser's automation software with deep ERP integrations, that's not what Invoice Rescue is — it's a managed service, not a self-serve platform.

Chaser vs Invoice Rescue — which is better?

Depends what you're buying. Chaser is proven software with more integrations, for teams who want to run their own credit control process. Invoice Rescue is done-for-you, for teams who'd rather not run one at all. Compare like for like — Invoice Rescue vs Chaser's "+Care" tier — rather than vs Chaser's cheapest software plan.

Does Invoice Rescue integrate with Xero or QuickBooks like Chaser?

You can connect Xero or QuickBooks, or just send over your invoice list — either way we chase from there. Chaser's integration list goes deeper (Sage, NetSuite, SAP, Dynamics 365 among others), which matters more if you're running a larger or more complex finance stack.

Is Chaser a debt collection agency?

Chaser lists debt collection services as one of several service lines. Invoice Rescue doesn't offer debt collection — we chase invoices in your name as ordinary credit control, not regulated debt collection, and stop there by design.
