Pros and cons
What Ignition does especially well — and the limits to anticipate.
Pros

- Workflow automation and approval orchestration.
- AI for pricing optimization and revenue insights.
- Rich integrations with ERP and business tools.
- Free 14-day trial with no commitment.
Cons

- Requires initial training to maximize value.
Ignition: when it makes sense.
Ignition works for growing service firms automating prospect-to-paid pipelines; for solo freelancers with few clients, lighter software is enough.
Keep if
You run a service-based firm (accounting, consulting, agencies).. You invoice clients regularly and want to improve cash flow.
- You use it at least once a week
- The monthly cost (€60) is small next to the time it saves you
Challenge if
You need a completely free solution.. You have mostly simple invoices and light workflows.
- You use it less than once a month
- indy (free) already covers the essentials for occasional use
