Getting started
Inbill is invoicing software for freelancers and small businesses. You make an invoice by typing or speaking, send it on WhatsApp or by email, and your client opens a page with your Wise, Payoneer, bank or wallet details. It tracks expenses too, and on Pro reminders follow up for you. It works in 59 currencies and has seven PDF templates.
A simple first invoice takes about 2 minutes. Sign up, add your business name and how you get paid, add a client and one line, and tap Send. Your details are saved, so later invoices are quicker. The AI assistant can also draft the lines from one sentence.
Not for the free tools: the invoice, receipt and estimate generators run in your browser with no account. To save clients, send by WhatsApp or email, track payments or use the AI assistant, sign up free. No card needed, and no trial that runs out.
Yes. Inbill is free for 10 invoices every calendar month, with no card needed. If you need more, Pro costs $5/month or $39/year or $99 once, or you can wait for the allowance to reset on the 1st. There are no per-client fees, and you can export your data to JSON or CSV free on every plan.
No, not for you. Pro stays at your price for as long as you're subscribed; 30 days' notice on any change for new customers. If Inbill ever changes what Pro costs, the new price applies only to people who subscribe after the change, and it is announced on the pricing page 30 days before it starts. Lifetime buyers never pay again.
AI features
Yes. Open the assistant, tap the mic or type, and describe the job: "invoice Acme for five hours of design at one thousand rupees an hour". The assistant shows the invoice as a card. You can change it, then tap Apply. Nothing is saved before you do.
Yes. On a new invoice, tap "Draft from a chat" and paste the WhatsApp or email messages where you agreed the work and the price. Inbill fills in the client, line items, currency and due date, and you check everything before saving. Each draft uses one of your daily AI requests (20 a day on Free).
Yes, in English and Urdu, with Hindi and Arabic in beta. Urdu speech-to-text can miss words, so the app shows a "review before sending" note when you record in Urdu. The voice language follows your app language, and you can change it in the assistant settings.
Yes. The assistant writes several line items, applies a tax rate per line, picks the currency, sets up recurring invoices, records payments, and answers questions about your own numbers ("which clients owe me money this month?"). You can edit the main fields on the card before you tap Apply.
Your message goes from the app to Inbill's server, then to Google's Gemini API, and the draft comes back. Inbill logs the type and size of each request, not what you wrote. Google processes it under its Gemini API terms; the privacy policy has the details.
It only helps with your invoicing: clients, products, services, invoices, schedules, sending and questions about your own data. It refuses general chat, jokes or code help. It cannot see other users' data or delete more than one record at a time, and sending or deleting waits 5 seconds so you can cancel.
Sending and getting paid
Tap Send on the invoice. WhatsApp opens with a ready message (the amount, the due date and the invoice link) addressed to the client's WhatsApp number if you saved one. You can also email it, copy the link, share it to another app, or download the PDF. The client opens the link in any browser with no login.
"Mark as paid" marks the whole invoice paid in one click. "Record payment" handles part payments: enter any amount and the balance due updates. When your client taps "I've paid" on the invoice page, the invoice shows "Payment reported" until you confirm it. The status always follows the amounts.
No. You keep everything your clients pay you. Inbill does not process payments. It makes the invoice and shows your payment details, and the money goes straight to your bank, Wise, Payoneer, JazzCash or whatever you use. We never see it.
Through your own accounts, yes. If you add a Wise pay link, a Payoneer "request a payment" link or a card or PayPal link, the invoice page shows a matching "Pay with" button. Bank, JazzCash, Easypaisa and Raast details get copy buttons. Inbill does not process the payment, and the client can tap "I've paid" so you can confirm it.
Yes, through your own account. Add a PayPal.me link, or a Stripe, Square, Revolut or similar payment link, in Settings, Payment methods, as a "Card / PayPal link". The invoice page then shows a "Pay by card" or "Pay with PayPal" button. Inbill never handles the card: your client pays you directly and taps "I've paid".
Yes. Add a deposit amount to the invoice, for example half the total. The client's invoice page then leads with "Deposit due now" and shows the remaining balance, and the PDF terms say the same. When the deposit arrives, record it as a payment and the balance due updates.
Yes. Invoice PDFs have a "How to pay" section listing the Wise, Payoneer, bank, JazzCash, Easypaisa, Raast or card and PayPal details saved on that invoice, any instructions you typed, and a "View and pay online" link once the invoice is sent. Estimates and the POS and clinic receipt templates leave it out, since nothing is owed on them.
Yes. In Settings, Payment methods, add Wise (email, USD account details, pay link), Payoneer (email, request-a-payment link), bank transfer (IBAN, SWIFT, routing), JazzCash, Easypaisa, Raast, or your own method. Each new invoice keeps a copy, so old invoices keep the details they were sent with.
Yes. Turn any invoice into a schedule: every week, month, 3 months or year. Inbill creates the next invoice on time and can email it to your client if you turn that on. The schedule stops after a number of invoices or on a date you choose. Recurring invoices work on every plan: on Free each generated invoice counts toward your 10 a month, and Pro makes them unlimited.
Yes, in three tones: a friendly email up to three days before the due date, a firm one on the due date, and a final one once it is overdue, then once a week, up to 4 times. Automatic reminders are part of Pro; on Free, the Send reminder button sends the right one for you. Switch reminders off per invoice or in Settings, Notifications. They stop when the invoice is paid and pause while a reported payment waits for you.
Yes. Each client has a ledger: invoices and payments in date order with a running balance per currency, and a badge showing how many days they usually take to pay. "Send statement" drafts a summary of everything open for WhatsApp or email, and a client page link lists all their invoices. All of this is on the free plan.
Templates and customisation
Seven. Free: Minimalist (clean and type-led), Modern (bold header band), Corporate (structured) and Classic (conservative). Pro adds POS Receipt (80mm thermal), Clinic Receipt (A5) and Boutique Editorial. All seven use the same data, so switching templates never changes the numbers.
You can add your logo, company details, tax ID, payment instructions, terms and footer notes, and they appear on every template. Colour changes per template are not available yet. If your business needs a template of its own, email: paid custom template work is offered through zaions.com.
Yes. Templates use real page sizes (A4 for invoices, A5 for clinic receipts, 80mm for POS receipts), embedded fonts, and numbers that line up in columns. The PDF you download matches the page your client sees.
Currency and tax
59 currencies, including USD, EUR, GBP, AED, SAR, INR, CNY, JPY, KRW, BRL, ZAR, NGN and PKR. Each invoice can be in a different currency, and amounts are formatted the way that currency is usually written.
Yes. Set a tax rate on each line, and the PDF shows a tax breakdown by rate. Inbill does not tell you which tax applies or file anything for you: it makes the document, and your accountant or tax office handles the rest.
No. Inbill makes PDF invoices and a web page your client opens. It does not send invoices to a government system (Peppol, ZATCA, FBR, KSeF and others). In some countries VAT-registered sellers must do that; see the invoice rules by country page for where that applies.
Inbill does not connect to FBR. FBR digital invoicing applies to sellers registered for sales tax. Sellers who are not registered can use a normal invoice; registered sellers need FBR-integrated invoicing, which the invoice rules by country page covers. If you are registered and need it, email: paid custom integration is offered through zaions.com.
Comparisons
Wave is stronger for businesses in the US and Canada that want unlimited free invoicing plus bookkeeping. Inbill suits freelancers anywhere who want AI drafting, 59 currencies, WhatsApp sending and expense tracking, without a full accounting ledger. Wave only opens new accounts in the US and Canada.
Zoho Invoice is the better fit if you already use Zoho CRM, Books or Projects. Inbill is smaller and focused on getting paid, with AI drafting, WhatsApp sending and pay buttons for Wise and Payoneer. Zoho's free plan allows 500 invoices a year per its pricing page; check yours, as terms vary by region.
Inbill. It is free for 10 invoices a month without a card, and Pro is $5 a month. FreshBooks has a 30-day trial and no free plan; its Lite plan lists at $23 a month for 5 billable clients (checked 19 October 2026). FreshBooks also does accounting and time tracking.
Yes. Invoice Ninja's free plan allows unlimited invoices to up to 5 clients, and shows a "Created by Invoice Ninja" line until you pay for Pro ($14 a month), as checked on 19 October 2026. Inbill's free plan has no client limit and allows 10 invoices a month. Invoice Ninja can be self-hosted; Inbill cannot.
Data and security
Supabase (Postgres), hosted in Tokyo, Japan. Row-level security in the database limits every account to its own clients, products and invoices, so no other user can see yours. Sign-in is handled by Supabase Auth. The security page lists every company that processes your data.
Yes. In your profile, "Download my data" saves everything (clients, products, services, invoices, payments, recurring schedules and settings) as one JSON file, any time. Each invoice also downloads as a PDF. Deleting your account removes the data.
No. Inbill is a hosted product and its source is private. What you can check: data is kept apart per user by database row-level security, API keys stay on the server, and you can export or delete everything yourself.
Mobile and offline
Yes. The web app is designed for phones first and works in any phone browser. The native Android app is in closed testing on Google Play. The web app works in any phone browser with the same account. There is no iPhone app yet; the web app works in mobile Safari with the same account.
The native Android app is in closed testing on Google Play. The web app works in any phone browser with the same account.
Not yet. Until there is one, the web app works fully in Safari on iPhone and iPad. Add it to your home screen for an app-like icon. Your account and invoices are the same on every device.
Partly. The free generators keep your draft on your device and make the PDF in the browser. The app needs an internet connection to save invoices, so a new invoice will not save until you reconnect. Full offline use is not available yet.
