# The best Rakuraku Meisai (楽楽明細) alternatives, compared

> Rakuraku Meisai is built for companies that send large batches of invoices and statements, and it is priced that way — a ¥100,000 initial fee and a monthly fee from ¥25,000. Most people looking for an alternative are smaller companies that found it through a search for invoicing software and need something they can start on today, at a published price, while still issuing qualified invoices correctly.

## Before you migrate off Rakuraku Meisai (楽楽明細)

Moving from a delivery system to an invoice-creation tool changes where invoices are made, so map that first: if your billing or core system generates the invoices today, check whether the new tool can import them or whether staff will now create them in the tool. Keep copies of every qualified invoice you have issued — a registered issuer must retain them — and export them from Rakuraku Meisai before the contract ends. Tell customers who download invoices from the Rakuraku Meisai web portal that invoices will now arrive by email or post, and check which of your customers still require paper, because postal sending is priced separately on the alternatives.

## Frequently asked questions

### What is a cheaper alternative to Rakuraku Meisai?

For a small company, freee Invoice has a free plan for 1–3 users and a Standard plan at ¥1,980/mo with unlimited users; Money Forward Cloud Invoice starts at ¥2,480/mo on annual billing. Neither lists an initial fee. They are invoice-creation tools rather than bulk delivery systems, so check they fit how your invoices are produced.

### Do the alternatives handle payslips and payment statements too?

Not according to the pages we checked.
