We've been useing Chaser for almost 3 years in our accountancy firm. Our industry in the UK is known for bad payers and chasing clients for payment used to be a painfully manual process at month end. I use Chaser on a daily basis.
The customer support is fantastic. It is so refreshing to have the same person consistenty looking after you.
New features get released regularly. If there are small issues or areas that you feel could be improved, simply report them and they get actioned very quickly. They are more than happy to get feedback.
You can segment the client base so that not every client receives the same wording - you can be gentle with some and more aggresive with others.
We are trying out the SMS feature on a sample of clients to see if this is more effective than email.
Set up and integration with Xero is very good and changes come through instantly.
The customer payment portal is worth it on its own. It is such a useful feature and looks professional. It is self service, so clients can download invoices adn generate statements whenever they want, reducing the admin time of us having to send copy invoices. Our payment portal is integrated with Stripe which can also handle direct debits which is very clever. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.
It would be good if the product roadmap was made public or to have an ideas page where users could vote for features.
It is a bit pricey, but the time savings pay for themselves. Overages were expensive on our old plan but we have now been moved to a slightly more expensive 'base' plan with no overages which is great.
Not a fault of the product itself, but I think once our clients realise that it is automated emails being sent out, the chasers lose their 'power' and get ignored.
Chaser charges a % on top of the Stripe fees for processing card payments which gets expensive, considering we already pay for the payment portal feature. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.
