Stop chasing clients. Get paid automatically.

Just BCC your invoice. We handle the rest.

We send the reminders. You get the payment notification.

“£1,200 just landed. We chased it so you didn't have to.”

Limited early access · UK GDPR aligned · No spam

A person sits calmly with their phone while invoice reminders and a payment-received notification float around them — Plate5 chasing in the background.

How it works

How it works

Three steps. Then we handle it.

No logging in. No deciding what to say. No “I'll do it later.”

Two scenes side by side. Left: a person at a cluttered desk, looking stressed by overdue invoice notifications. Right: the same person at a calm desk, with Plate5 sending the chase messages on their behalf and a payment-received notification arriving.
  1. 01

    Send your invoice like normal

    BCC your invoice email — or forward a PDF, a screenshot, even a WhatsApp.

  2. 02

    We chase, politely and persistently

    Friendly reminder → firm follow-up → formal nudge. Always professional. Never aggressive.

  3. 03

    You get paid

    The moment your client replies, everything pauses. No awkward back-and-forth. No damaged relationships.

Early access

Built with real UK tradespeople who were tired of chasing payments.

Designed in the open with electricians, plumbers, and decorators who'd had enough of writing “just bumping this” emails.

Chasing money is uncomfortable

A person with their arms raised in relief, with a large speech bubble saying 'Sorry mate, accounts are on it' surrounded by floating reminder envelopes.

You shouldn't have to chase your own money.

Chasing clients ruins relationships. It makes things personal. Plate5 fixes that. Every message comes from your accounts team, not you. So when a client says something, you can simply say “Sorry mate, accounts are on it” — and mean it.

Not another invoicing tool

Why we built Plate5

Why Plate5 exists

I built Plate5 because I was tired of chasing.

The work was done. The invoice was sent. And then — nothing.

I didn't want to write another “just bumping this” email.

So I built something that does it for me. Politely. Consistently. And only as far as the relationship allows.

— Founder, Plate5

Frequently asked questions

Questions

The short answers.

  • What does Plate5 do?
    Plate5 chases your unpaid invoices for you — politely, on a schedule, in plain English. You send your invoice as you always do and BCC us. From then on, follow-ups go out automatically until the client pays or replies.
  • How long does setup take?
    About a minute. Sign up, save your BCC address, and start using it on the next invoice you send. There’s nothing to import and no accounting tool to connect.
  • Will my client know it’s automated?
    No. Reminders come from your name and read like something you’d write yourself — short, clear, no robotic tone, no awkward subject lines. Your client just gets a normal nudge.
  • What happens if the client replies?
    We stop chasing immediately and forward their reply to your inbox so you can take it from there. No reminder ever lands on top of a real conversation.
  • What if the invoice gets paid?
    Mark it paid in one tap and the chase stops. If you forget, replying with “paid” works too — we read the reply and close it out.
  • Where is my data stored?
    In the EU. Invoices, contacts, and attachments stay on UK/EU infrastructure — UK GDPR by default, no transfers outside the region.
  • Do you handle the money?
    No. Plate5 never touches payments. The client pays you directly, the way they always have. We just make sure they remember to.
