What you pay as your client list grows
Hiveage prices its plans by how many clients you bill. Onigiri doesn’t: PRO is one price for any number of clients.
Yearly prices from hiveage.com/pricing, October 2026. Hiveage Basic includes recurring billing and reports; Pro adds automatic payment reminders, your own domain and 5 team members. Onigiri has recurring invoices on PRO, but no reports, reminders, custom domain or team members yet.

Why freelancers look for a Hiveage alternative
Hiveage is a solid, long-running invoicing tool. If your client list keeps growing and you mostly need to get paid, this is what tends to come up, and what Onigiri does instead.
Counting clients
Free plans that stop at 5 clients make you count before you add one more. Onigiri has no client limit on Free or PRO.
Paying for the next tier
When the client count or the feature you need sits one plan up, the price jumps. Onigiri has one paid plan, $108 a year.
Just invoices, done well
If you mostly send invoices and get paid by card, you don’t need reports and team seats. Onigiri does that one job, and on PRO it repeats invoices for you.
Is Onigiri right for you?
Onigiri does one job, getting you paid, and it doesn’t count your clients.
