Is SHVL a full Chaser replacement?

No. SHVL is a focused recurring credit-control product for small UK teams, with a separate one-off chase pack. 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 a ranked weekly plan from Xero, QuickBooks, FreeAgent or CSV, exact reminder previews, deliberate activation and straightforward pricing for a small team.

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.

Chaser alternative

A focused Chaser alternative for weekly credit control.

SHVL gives small UK teams a ranked collection plan from read-only Xero, QuickBooks or FreeAgent data, or a CSV. Review the exact reminder, send a test to yourself and choose when to activate sending through Microsoft 365, Outlook.com or Hotmail.

Choose SHVL for a focused weekly routine.

Start with the customers needing attention, inspect the invoices and exact message, then activate only after the workspace and mailbox are ready.

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 the £4 pack for one batch.

Upload an aged-debtors CSV and receive editable Word letters, email drafts and an Excel statutory-interest log. The pack never sends messages.

SHVL vs Chaser, in practical terms.

Question	SHVL	Chaser
Accounting data	Read-only Xero, QuickBooks or FreeAgent, plus CSV.	Connected accounting integrations, CSV and API options.
Reminder control	Exact preview, test to self and explicit schedule activation. Payment, reply and bounce checks run again before delivery.	Configurable automated workflows across several contact channels.
Collection and reporting	Ranked weekly plan, customer state, reminder history and payment-stop checks.	Broader payments, forecasting, credit monitoring and receivables reporting.
One-off option	£4 files-only pack for up to 50 overdue B2B invoices.	Built primarily as an ongoing accounts-receivable platform.
Best fit	Small UK team wanting a controlled weekly routine without a broad AR rollout.	Team needing more channels, payment tools and forecasting in one platform.

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