1. Market & Problem

• 9 of every 10 Reddit / Indie-Hacker finance threads about “late-paying clients” end with: “I hate chasing invoices”.
• In the small-business/agency/freelancer segment the pain is emotional (awkward follow-ups) as much as financial (cash-flow).
• Existing suites (QuickBooks, Xero, Stripe Billing) do send basic reminders but:
  • only 1-2 generic templates,
  • no escalation logic (PO mismatch, late-fee clause, looping-in Accounts-Payable),
  • no “tone-testing”.

2. Competitor landscape (SERP snapshot “invoice reminder software”)

Paidnice, Invoice Sherpa, ChaserHQ, Upflow, Invoiced, Bill do, WaveApps, etc. → the space exists (people are paying) but is not yet a red-ocean of huge brands.

Differentiation room

• Most tools aimed at >10-person finance teams.
• Stripe-only or QuickBooks-only solutions scarce.
• “Politeness/relationship-safe” copy backed by A/B data hardly marketed.
