Chaser

Chaser is accounts receivable automation, built to chase overdue invoices for you. It connects to your ledger and sends scheduled, personalised payment reminders so you stop doing it by hand.

What it does well: it is quick to set up, sometimes in minutes, and integrates with Xero, QuickBooks and Sage. The reminders can be personalised so they read as if they came from you, not a robot, across email and SMS. Users consistently report saving many hours a week on credit control and meaningfully reducing debtor days, and rate the support well. It is one of the highest-rated tools in its category.

Where it falls short: a few users find the email handling fiddly, with reminders that can feel excessive if the schedule is not tuned, and replies sometimes batched rather than landing in your inbox instantly. Template customisation and reporting could go further, the automation setup can intimidate first-time users, and the collections add-on is seen by some as pricey. There is no full mobile app.

Best for: practices and businesses with a steady flow of invoices that want credit control to run on autopilot and to get paid faster without awkward chasing.

Verdict: a focused tool that does one job very well. Spend a little time tuning the chase schedule and tone up front, and it quietly recovers cash and hours. Just budget carefully if you want the hands-off collections add-on.
