Late payments aren't a client-relationship problem. They're a follow-up-consistency problem — and consistency is exactly what software is for.
You're not imagining it: a 2015 Freelancers Union study found 71% of freelancers struggle to collect payment at least once, losing almost $6,000 a year on average.
How it works
Set it once. Then go back to the work you actually bill for.
Add an invoice
Takes about a minute: client, amount, due date, and how you like to get paid. Already overdue? The first reminder is scheduled on the spot.
RestPaid follows up for you
A proven 4-step sequence, written in your voice, sent from your name — replies go straight to your inbox.
Money lands, reminders stop
Payment is detected automatically. Your client gets a warm thank-you note signed by you — and nobody gets chased for money in transit.
The reminder emails
This is what your client actually receives.
No logos. No "do-not-reply." Just a short, human note with a pay link — the email you'd write on your best day, sent on every day.
- Sent from your name — replies land in your inbox
- Weekday mornings, in your client's timezone
- You approve the templates — edit every word

Late fees, done right
One clear sentence. Calculated to the day.
If your contract includes late fees (the standard is 1.5%/month), RestPaid calculates them to the day and adds one clear sentence to your reminders. New York and California freelancer-protection laws are also on your side — we explain your rights in plain English.
RestPaid is not a law firm; fee terms belong in your contract.
"Per our agreement, a late fee of 1.5%/month applies; the balance including fees is currently $2,537.50."
The average overdue invoice we chase is worth months of RestPaid.
One recovered payment covers years of the subscription.
Simple pricing
One plan. Everything included. It pays for itself with the first invoice it un-sticks.
- Unlimited invoices & clients
- Editable 4-step reminder sequences
- Late-fee accrual & hosted invoice pages
- Your pay link on every reminder

Questions freelancers ask
Will this annoy my clients?
No — reminders are spaced days apart, capped, and sent during business hours in their timezone. They're written to preserve the relationship, and you approve every template before anything goes out.
Do emails come from RestPaid or from me?
From your name. Replies go straight to your inbox — your client never talks to a robot.
What if a client already paid by bank transfer?
One click marks it paid. Clients can also flag "I've paid this" from any reminder — everything pauses instantly so nobody gets chased for money in transit.
Can I edit the emails?
Every word, of every step.
What about late fees, legally?
Fees must be in your contract; we calculate and communicate them, and we never send threats. We also explain the NY and CA freelancer-protection laws in plain English.
