Why Agencies Choose Tillage Over Invoice Ninja

Keep 100% Without the Setup

Invoice Ninja can pass a gateway fee, but configuring and self-hosting is on you. Tillage is managed and grosses up the invoice so clients cover both the card and platform fees.

Quote-to-Cash in One Place

Tillage connects AI quoting, contracts, and invoicing so an accepted quote becomes a contract and an invoice schedule automatically.

No Servers to Maintain

Skip hosting, updates, and backups. Tillage is cloud-hosted and ready to use the moment you sign up.

Profit Protection Built In

Variance buffers and margin targets keep projects profitable — something a pure invoicing tool doesn't do.

Common Questions and Objections

Is Tillage a good Invoice Ninja alternative?

Yes. Invoice Ninja is flexible and open-source, but it can lean technical to set up and self-host. Tillage is a fully managed platform with free invoicing, fee pass-through so you keep 100%, plus AI quoting, contracts, and margin tracking for agencies.

Does Tillage let me pass gateway fees to clients?

Yes. Like Invoice Ninja's gateway fee option, Tillage can pass Stripe's card/ACH fee to the client — and it also passes the 1% platform fee, so you receive the full invoice amount within the applicable limits.

Do I need to self-host Tillage?

No. Tillage is cloud-hosted and ready to use — no servers, updates, or maintenance. You get a managed experience while still keeping 100% of every invoice.
