DueTrail vs Chaser: an honest comparison
Chaser is a mature, all-in-one accounts-receivable platform; DueTrail is a leaner, review-first invoice-to-cash tool with two flat workspace prices. Both chase overdue invoices well — the right choice depends on how much surrounding machinery you need.
| DueTrail | Chaser | |
|---|---|---|
| Pricing model | Two flat tiers, no per-seat | Revenue-tiered |
| Starting price | from €49/mo | from £199 / €239/mo |
| Primary market | B2B service SMBs | UK / global (multi-currency) |
Pricing and positioning verified against each vendor's own website in September 2026 and may have changed. “Starting price” is the lowest publicly listed plan; currencies are shown as each vendor lists them.
DueTrail
Review-first invoice-to-cash software: imports create paused collection cases and nothing sends until your team approves it. It connects to Xero, QuickBooks Online, Sage, FreeAgent and Moneybird, read-only unless you switch on notes on the invoice (or takes a CSV from anything else) and re-checks the ledger right before every reminder, so nobody is chased for an invoice they have already paid. It can work out statutory late-payment interest and compensation (UK or EU rules, or your own terms) and quote them in reminders and the portal. A customer statement, listing every open invoice in one email, goes through the same preview-and-approve step, or goes out monthly once automation is on. In the customer portal a customer can promise a date, propose paying in instalments, say they have paid, or raise a question, and each of those pauses the chasing. An agreed payment plan holds reminders while the instalments arrive and lapses on its own if one is missed. Two workspace prices (€49 Starter up to 75 active cases, €149 unlimited Team), unlimited users, pure software (not a debt-collection agency, no lending).
Best for: Small B2B service teams — agencies, consultancies, IT services, recruitment (roughly 10–200 people) — that want consistent, controlled follow-up without per-seat pricing.
Chaser
An all-in-one accounts-receivable automation and cash-flow forecasting platform that chases invoices automatically and syncs with your accounting system, with optional managed credit-control and debt-collection services as paid add-ons.
Best for: SMB-to-mid-market finance teams, plus accountants and bookkeepers via a partner program.
When to choose which
Chaser or DueTrail?
Choose Chaser if…
- You want built-in cash-flow forecasting and credit checks alongside chasing, not just collections.
- You may want the option of human-led managed collections as a paid add-on.
- You're a finance team or an accountant/bookkeeper using its partner program across many clients.
Choose DueTrail if…
- You want pricing that does not move when your revenue does. DueTrail is €49 Starter or €149 unlimited Team, flat. Chaser bands by total annual turnover: £199/month under £4m, then £599 under £10m — so growing past a threshold triples the bill without you sending a single extra invoice.
- You want review-first control — nothing emails a customer until your team approves the live send.
- You're a small B2B service team that wants tight, controlled follow-up without a broad AR suite to configure.
