Is SHVL a full Chaser replacement?

No. SHVL is a focused recurring credit-control product for small UK teams, with reminders, replies and payment promises in one customer history. Chaser covers a broader accounts-receivable workflow, including more contact channels, payment tools, forecasting and credit risk features.

When should I consider SHVL instead of Chaser?

Consider SHVL when you want overdue invoices, replies and payment promises together, exact reminder previews and deliberate activation. Solo is £19/month and Team is £29/month for one business workspace.

Does connecting accounting software make SHVL send reminders?

No. The accounting connection is read-only. Sending stays off until a user connects a supported mailbox, reviews the message and explicitly activates the schedule.

A Chaser alternative with customer history.

Keep overdue invoices, replies, payment promises and blockers together. Review reminders, then activate sending through a supported Microsoft or Gmail mailbox when ready. Start from read-only Xero, QuickBooks or FreeAgent data, or upload a CSV.

Review the customer before the next reminder.

Start with the customers needing attention. Check replies, promises and disputes alongside their invoices, then review the reminder before activating sending.

Choose Chaser for broader receivables automation.

Chaser covers more contact channels, payment collection, forecasting and credit-risk features. That wider scope may suit a larger or more complex receivables operation.

Choose a plan for one business.

Solo is £19/month for one owner. Team is £29/month for up to five people in one shared business workspace. Both have a 30-day trial without a card. Accountants can ask about separate Practice access.

SHVL is deliberately narrower. It fits a small team that wants overdue invoices prioritised and reminders controlled without buying a wider receivables suite.
