Can this create a payment agreement?
No. It drafts communication only; use your normal business process for formal agreements.
Important boundary
PayNudgeAI does not send reminders, contact clients, or provide legal collection advice. It prepares wording so you can review, edit, and send the message yourself.
The free generator remains available. The paid pack is a reusable text download unlocked by a verified activation code; invoice details stay in your browser.
