Pick a design and make it yours

Every design takes your logo and your brand colour. Hover one to bring it forward.

Three steps. That’s the whole job.

  1. Step 1

    Set up your business once

    Logo, brand colour, legal details, tax and numbering, saved as the defaults for everything after.

  2. Step 2

    Write the invoice

    Pick the client, add your lines, watch the A4 page fill in as you type.

  3. Step 3

    Download it and mark it paid

    Save the PDF and send it your way. Mark it paid when the money lands.

Questions, answered

See all questions
Is there a free Zoho Invoice alternative?

Business Invoices gives every account free invoice designs along with the editor, the client directory and the invoice records. Some designs are Pro.

Does it do recurring invoices?

Not on a schedule. You duplicate the previous invoice and change the dates, so nothing is ever sent without you looking at it.

Is it simpler than Zoho Invoice?

It is a single-purpose app: invoices, clients and the record of what is paid. Whether that is simpler or too simple depends on what you need around it.

Can freelancers use it?

Yes, that is the main audience — one person, several clients, invoices that need to look professional and be findable later.
