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 TaxDome?

TaxDome's fall releases give firm owners a view of every job, and proposals a deadline.

TaxDome's October releases are about firm-wide visibility and tidier records. Owners can group jobs across pipelines, Work Forecaster flags overdue and at-risk jobs, proposals can expire after 1 to 90 days, and email threads can be linked to jobs for every firm. Cleanup banners ask firms to close finished jobs after tax season.

Invoice Ninja vs TaxDome: editorial side-by-side

I5.0

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.

5.0

TaxDome's fall releases give firm owners a view of every job, and proposals a deadline.

◆ Current state

TaxDome's October releases are about firm-wide visibility and tidier records. Owners can group jobs across pipelines, Work Forecaster flags overdue and at-risk jobs, proposals can expire after 1 to 90 days, and email threads can be linked to jobs for every firm. Cleanup banners ask firms to close finished jobs after tax season.

◆ Where it's heading

After the March AI document matching, the product has turned to the managing partner's view: how much work is in flight, what is late, and where client emails and proposals sit. The work is incremental and aimed at firms running many pipelines. A November 4 webinar on AI for the 2027 tax season hints at the next AI release.

◆ Prediction

Expect an AI announcement at or after the November 4 webinar, which TaxDome itself teased. The entries do not say what it covers.
