Invoicing App

The Invoicing App 1099
Freelancers Actually Need

Send professional invoices in seconds — from your own email address, so your client sees your name in the From field, not a billing vendor’s.

30 days free · no credit card · no account required.

Your invoice arrives with someone else’s name on it

Nearly 3 in 10 freelance invoices are paid late.* And most invoicing apps send on their own rails, so the message your client opens is branded by the app vendor rather than by you — exactly when you are trying to look like a business.

FreshBooks charges $23/month for basic invoicing. HoneyBook plans start at $29/month (billed annually). Neither was built for how 1099 contractors actually work.

Send a professional invoice in about two minutes

Tap Create Invoice, then Send Invoice, and your client receives a professional PDF invoice, sent from your own mail account so your name is in the From field.

  • ✓Edit or delete any invoice after it is created
