I’ve been a lurker for some time but had to comment on this one, as I too got shafted by Invoiceable/Invoicely. More troubling is how something more than an update is happening here - they seem to have actually ripped off another invoicing service when coming up with the new product.

I upgraded a couple of months ago to have a custom domain and remove Invoiceable branding, and didn’t even receive an email about this move. Yesterday I visited the Invoiceable site and landed at Invoicely: that’s when I learned that I had to migrate!

Apart from this total lack of communication, we have been given just one week to move everything over to the new platform - a major hassle when I have an actual business to run. Their support hasn’t been of much help either: they seem to have mastered the art of stonewalling.

I have no desire to throw money at people who don’t value me as a customer. But more importantly, I can’t trust my financial data with a company that seems to have shamelessly ripped off a competing product (Hiveage - http://www.hiveage.com). Just look at the UIs of Hiveage and the new Invoicely and you’ll see what I’m talking about.

OMG I can't believe how they have ripped off another service and its just like a photo-copy so identical IMO. I've heard many good things about Hiveage though I haven't used their tool.

Can someone confirm whether the Invoiceable aka Invoicely are bunch of Indians? I've seen FB ads for e-Bay ripoff, Facebook etc. for damn cheap prices and I think that's possible due to their lower labour costs. Anyone can ripoff a product be it Hiveage, Facebook or e-Bay but never create a business around it, coz people know what's original and which is the duplicate.
