FairInvoice vs Wise Invoice Generator
Wise's invoice tool is built around its money-transfer and payment service, and it is aimed at freelancers billing overseas clients in other currencies.
FairInvoice is built specifically for UK trades. There are 13 ready-made templates — plumbing, electrical, roofing and the rest — pre-filled with the lines a sole trader actually bills for, with a VAT toggle for when you're registered.
If most of your work is cross-border and you're already moving money through Wise, their generator sits neatly next to it. If you're invoicing UK customers for UK jobs, the trade templates here will get you to a finished PDF faster.
