Rados, founder of DueChatBuilt by Rados 👋 for his own late invoices

From overdue to PAID

Late clients, awkward “just following up” emails, cash stuck in limbo. DueChat sends polite reminders on day 7, 14 and 30 with a Stripe pay link — and stops the moment you’re paid.

  • Stripe checkout on your account
  • Same actions in ChatGPT, Claude, or Cursor
  • Pause any chase, anytime

😩 The awkward part of freelancing

Chasing invoices is a second job nobody pays you for

You did the work. Now you’re the accounts department, the debt collector and the person who has to sound cheerful about it.

Chasing by hand

  • Remember who is late — then write the same awkward email again
  • Paste bank details into every follow-up
  • Agonise over whether this one should sound friendly or firm
  • Open invoices scattered across Xero, QuickBooks and a CSV
  • Get pulled out of build work every time a client goes quiet

With DueChat

  • Reminders go out on day 7, 14 and 30 — until paid
  • A Stripe pay link in every reminder, on your own account
  • Pick Friendly, Professional, Firm or Persistent per chase
  • Import open invoices from Xero or QuickBooks the same day
  • Pause one client’s chase without touching the rest

⚙️ How it works

Set it up once. Get paid on autopilot.

Three steps, then DueChat runs the chase in the background while you get back to the work you actually enjoy.

1

Bring your invoices

Connect your Stripe (and Gmail, so chases come from your inbox). Import open invoices from Xero or QuickBooks.

Day 7. Day 14. Day 30. Paid.

After you send an invoice, DueChat schedules reminder emails on day 7, 14 and 30 past the due date. It stops when paid — or when you pause that chase.

🔐 Money & data

Your money. Your clients. Your rules.

A reminder tool touches your invoices and your client list, so here is exactly what DueChat does with them, in plain words.

💳

Payments run on your Stripe

Your payments and invoice data stay in your own Stripe account. DueChat is not a party to the payment and doesn’t hold funds.

✉️

We only email your clients for you

We never email your clients for our own purposes — only the reminders you schedule. We never sell personal data.

🗂️

Export or delete anytime

GDPR rights of access, rectification, erasure and portability. Data is deleted within 30 days of deleting your account.

🤝

Named processors

Supabase (database & auth), Resend (email delivery), Stripe (payments). Each processes data only to provide their service.

✋

Assistants ask first

ChatGPT, Claude or Cursor get the same actions as the app; anything that sends mail or moves money still needs your approval.

🔐

EU-hosted and encrypted

DueChat runs on EU servers and data is encrypted. We only read the invoices you send or upload, nothing else. Operated by PIKA CARE d.o.o., Ljubljana.

Rados, founder of DueChat

that’s me 👋

✍️ Why I built DueChat

Hey, it’s Rados 

I am Rados, a senior full-stack engineer with about eight years in shipping products. Freelance clients paying late kept pulling me out of build work, so I made DueChat to run the reminder ladder and pay links for me.

I built it around three rules:

  1. Your money stays on your Stripe. You connect Stripe; hosted checkout runs on your account. DueChat never holds client money.
  2. Built for agents. The same actions you use in the browser work from ChatGPT, Claude, or Cursor once you connect them in settings.
  3. Cleaner client email on Pro. Pro removes extra app branding from chase emails so replies look like they came only from you.

🙋 FAQ

Questions

Straight answers about the trial, your money, your data and how reminders work. Something missing? Write to hello@duechat.io.

How much is Pro?

€19 per month or €190 per year after a 30-day trial. Yearly works out to about two months free compared with paying monthly. Add a card when you start; cancel before day 30 and you are not charged.

What happens when the 30-day trial ends?

Unless you cancel before the trial ends, Pro continues at €19/month or €190/year, billed via Stripe. Cancel anytime from Billing — access continues to the end of the paid period.

Does DueChat ever hold my clients’ money?

No. Payments flow through your own Stripe account or Stripe payment pages. DueChat is not a party to the transaction and doesn’t hold funds.

What does DueChat send automatically?

After you send an invoice, DueChat schedules reminder emails on day 7, 14 and 30 past the due date until the invoice is paid or you pause the chase.

How do Stripe payments work?

You connect your Stripe account. Payment links and checkout are on your Stripe; DueChat updates invoice status when Stripe reports a successful payment.

What do you do with my data and my clients’ emails?

DueChat is EU-hosted and data is encrypted. We only read the invoices you send or upload, and use them only to run DueChat and send the reminders you schedule. We never sell personal data and never email your clients for our own purposes. You can export or delete your account and data at any time.

Can I pause reminders for one client?

Yes — pause and resume per invoice so a good relationship is not drowned in nudges.

What tones can reminders use?

Friendly, professional, firm, and persistent — pick one per chase so the message matches the situation.

Can I track when a client promises to pay?

Yes. Log the promised date on an invoice and DueChat pauses the reminder ladder until that day. If the date passes unpaid, the invoice is flagged and you get an alert — reminders stay paused until you review the next step.

Can I import from Xero or QuickBooks?

Yes. Bring open invoices into DueChat from either product and start the same reminder ladder.

Can I connect Gmail or Google Calendar?

Yes. Send chase mail from your Gmail and surface due dates next to the rest of your calendar.

Does DueChat support installments or retainers?

Yes. Run retainers on a repeat schedule, or split one invoice into tracked installments with their own amounts and due logic.

How does the AI assistant connect?

Open DueChat settings and connect ChatGPT, Claude, or Cursor. They get the same actions as the app; anything that sends mail or moves money still needs your approval here.

Who is behind DueChat?

DueChat is built by Rados and operated by PIKA CARE d.o.o., Štihova ulica 25, 1000 Ljubljana, Slovenia. Write to hello@duechat.io.

Your invoices won’t chase themselves.

Let DueChat run the 7, 14 and 30-day ladder with a Stripe pay link — you get back to the work.
