What is Invoice Ninja?
Invoice Ninja adds OIDC auto-login while rebuilding its Stripe plumbing
Invoice Ninja ships v5.13 patch releases every few days. October's substance is payments and auth: Stripe moved to the 2025.basil API as a minimum with webhook upgrades, offline payment sync was finished, GoCardless, Razorpay and Braintree got fixes or upgrades, and OIDC gained auto-login and labelling. Several API fixes were found while building new mobile apps.
What is Sequence?
Sequence is filling in the enterprise checklist for its quote-to-cash billing platform.
Sequence ships small, frequent updates across quoting, billing and accounting sync. October brought enterprise SSO, amendment and upsell quotes that change live contracts, two-way QuickBooks sync for payments and credit notes, NetSuite item mapping on credit grants, and one-time-code login for the customer portal.

Invoice Ninja adds OIDC auto-login while rebuilding its Stripe plumbing
◆ Current state
Invoice Ninja ships v5.13 patch releases every few days. October's substance is payments and auth: Stripe moved to the 2025.basil API as a minimum with webhook upgrades, offline payment sync was finished, GoCardless, Razorpay and Braintree got fixes or upgrades, and OIDC gained auto-login and labelling. Several API fixes were found while building new mobile apps.
◆ Where it's heading
The work points at two things: keeping the payment gateway layer current with providers' API versions, and preparing the backend for new client apps. European e-invoicing (ZUGFeRD/CII, EPC QR codes) also keeps getting attention.
◆ Prediction
Expect more API fixes tied to the new apps and further gateway updates; whether the apps themselves appear in this feed is unclear.
Sequence
5.0FINANCE
Sequence is filling in the enterprise checklist for its quote-to-cash billing platform.
◆ Current state
Sequence ships small, frequent updates across quoting, billing and accounting sync. October brought enterprise SSO, amendment and upsell quotes that change live contracts, two-way QuickBooks sync for payments and credit notes, NetSuite item mapping on credit grants, and one-time-code login for the customer portal.
◆ Where it's heading
The product is connecting the whole revenue path, from quote approval through contract changes to the general ledger, while adding the access controls larger customers require. Accounting integrations are getting deeper, not just wider.
◆ Prediction
Expect more enterprise controls (roles, audit trails) and further two-way ERP sync, following SSO and the QuickBooks work.
