Ignition pros and cons
Pros
- Proposal-to-payment in one motion: engagement letter, e-signature, and automatic payment collection in a single client flow
- Recurring billing and payment collection that kills the awkward chasing conversation
- Strong integrations with the tools around it — QuickBooks, Xero, Karbon and peers
- Published pricing with an accessible entry tier
Cons
- A front-door tool, not practice management — work tracking happens elsewhere
- Payment processing fees are part of the real cost math
- Less valuable for firms with few clients or static annual engagements
- Templates push toward standardized packaging, which suits some practices better than others
Who Ignition is for — real-world scenarios
The firm productizing its services
Moving from bespoke hourly quotes to packaged monthly services. Ignition turns the package into a signed, auto-billing engagement without an invoice ever being manually raised.
The practice with a collections problem at onboarding
Getting payment details captured at signature time — before work starts — structurally ends the unpaid-invoice chase.
Bottom line
The best-known answer for engagement letters that collect their own payment. It complements a practice manager rather than replacing one; firms with billing pain at the front door get the clearest win.
