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.
What is SolidInvoice?
SolidInvoice 3.1 brings custom invoice templates and moves migrations off web requests.
SolidInvoice, the self-hosted invoicing app, shipped 3.1.0, 3.1.1 and 3.1.2 together on 29 October. 3.1.0 adds custom invoice templates and invitation expiry; 3.1.2 fixes the in-app upgrade path by running migrations at startup or as a Helm pre-upgrade job. It follows the 3.0 release in June that brought 2FA, OAuth and Meilisearch search.
Sequence vs SolidInvoice: editorial side-by-side
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.

After 3.0's identity and platform work, 3.1 turns to customization and operations, with Helm-based deployment now a supported path. Fixes are tagged with detailed commit-level notes, some co-authored with Claude.
◆ Prediction
Expect more 3.1.x fixes around upgrades and deployment, given two fix releases shipped alongside 3.1.0.
