Why chasing is harder for freelancers
You want to keep the client. Chasing too hard burns the relationship.
Freelance work runs on repeat clients and referrals. That makes chasing late invoices harder, not easier — one badly worded reminder can cost you the next project. So we put it off, or soften it so much it gets ignored, then we're sat watching the bank account waiting.
DueTidy handles the tone for you. Calm, professional wording, consistent timing, and a clear record of every chase so you're not relying on memory.
Sound familiar?
- Project finished, client went quiet on payment
- Net 30 terms — and they always pay on day 35
- Slack-message reminder felt unprofessional
- Lost track of which client owed which invoice
- Don't want to seem desperate to a referral source
Built for solo professionals
Whatever you sell, you still have to chase.

FAQ
What freelancers ask us.
How do you chase a client without damaging the relationship?
Lead with calm, factual language. Reference the invoice number and amount, acknowledge they may have already paid, and offer the easiest possible way to pay. DueTidy's six default templates do exactly this — and you can edit any of them before sending.
When should I send the first reminder?
A friendly heads-up the day before the due date prevents most accidental late payments. Then on the due date, then at 3, 7, 14 and 30 days overdue if it's still unpaid. DueTidy follows this ladder automatically on the Pro plan.
I invoice through Stripe / PayPal / FreeAgent. Does DueTidy still work?
Yes. DueTidy doesn't replace your invoicing tool — it sits on top. Add the invoice details and paste the existing Stripe or PayPal payment link, and DueTidy handles the chase.
What if a client says they can't pay right now?
Use Promise to pay in DueTidy to log the date they said they'd settle. DueTidy quietly reminds you to follow up if that date passes. Far better than letting it slip out of your mind.
Will reminders be sent automatically without my approval?
On the Pro plan, scheduled reminders go out on a polite ladder unless you turn off auto-chase for that invoice. You can also send any reminder manually — you'll see the wording before it sends. Nothing is hidden from you.
How do I handle Net 30 or Net 60 payment terms?
Set the due date when you add the invoice. DueTidy starts the polite chase ladder from there — not before. Long terms are no problem.
Spend less time chasing. More time doing the work.
Add your first late invoice in under 60 seconds.
