Before DueTidy
Chasing feels awkward and scattered.

- Awkward follow-up messages you keep putting off
- Spreadsheets, sticky notes and mental tabs
- No clear list of who needs chasing today
After DueTidy
Calm, tidy, and on top of every chase.
- One tidy list of who needs chasing today
- Professional reminders, ready to review and send
- Snooze, promise-to-pay and follow-up tracking
- Full chase history saved per invoice
How it works
Three steps. Sixty seconds per invoice.
No new invoicing tool to learn. Just paste, track, and chase — your existing setup keeps doing the heavy lifting.
Paste the basics
Customer, amount, due date. Drop in your existing payment link, hosted invoice URL or bank details — whatever you've got.
We track who's late
Open DueTidy each morning and see exactly who needs chasing today. No spreadsheets, no second-guessing.
Send calm, professional reminders
One tap to send a professional email, or log a call or WhatsApp you sent yourself. Templates included.
See your reminders
Polite by default. Never aggressive.

FAQ
Questions sole traders ask before signing up.
Quick honest answers to the things people check before creating an account.
Does DueTidy send invoices, or does it just chase them?
DueTidy doesn't send invoices. You keep using whatever you already use — Xero, QuickBooks, FreeAgent, Stripe, PayPal, a PDF, a spreadsheet or even a paper invoice. DueTidy is the polite chase layer that sits on top.
Does DueTidy work with my invoicing tool?
Yes — DueTidy is invoicing-tool agnostic. Add an invoice in under 60 seconds: customer, amount, due date, payment link or bank details if you have them. That's it. Whether the original invoice came from Xero, Stripe or a WhatsApp message, DueTidy treats it the same.
Is DueTidy a debt collection agency?
No. DueTidy sends polite, professional payment reminders and keeps a record of every chase. It's not legal advice, not a Letter Before Action, and not a debt collection service. You stay in control of every reminder.
Can I review every reminder before it sends?
Yes. On the Free plan all reminders are manual — you write the message and hit send. On Pro you can switch on automatic scheduled reminders per invoice, but you can pause auto-chase on any invoice any time, and you choose the wording for each stage of the ladder.
How much does it cost? Is there really a free plan?
Yes — free forever for your first 5 open invoices, no card required. Pro is £9/month for unlimited invoices, automatic scheduled reminders, custom templates per stage, snooze and promise-to-pay. Pro starts with a 14-day free trial and you can cancel anytime from the Stripe portal.
Can I use DueTidy with WhatsApp or paper invoices?
Yes. Add the invoice details to DueTidy manually — customer, amount, due date — and use the Log a chase feature to record WhatsApp messages, phone calls, texts or in-person conversations alongside the email reminders DueTidy sends. Your full chase history per invoice lives in one place.
Keep your unpaid invoices tidy.
Start free, add your first overdue invoice, and see who needs chasing today.
