Create Free Account →Send Your Next Freelance Invoice
Whether you charge by the hour or by the project, the invoice builder handles both. Add line items for each task or deliverable, set your rate, and let the template calculate the total. Save your client's details so next month's invoice takes 30 seconds instead of 10 minutes.

Hourly vs. Project Billing
Use line items for either approach. For hourly work, set the quantity to hours and the unit price to your rate: “Website Design: 10 hours × $150/hr.” For project-based billing, use a single line item: “Website Design: 1 × $1,500.” Mix both on the same invoice if a project involves fixed deliverables plus hourly support.
Repeat Clients
Most freelancers bill the same clients month after month. Save client profiles — name, email, address — and select them when creating a new invoice. No more retyping the same details every billing cycle.
Payment Terms for Freelancers
Net 30 is the industry standard, but shorter terms improve your cash flow. If you're working with a trusted client, Net 15 or Due on Receipt gets money in your account faster. Set your preferred terms as a default so every invoice goes out with the same expectations.
Quotes to Invoices
Before starting a project, send a quote with your proposed line items and pricing. Once the client approves, convert the quote into an invoice with one click — all the details carry over automatically, no re-entering data.
