14 Web-Based Invoicing Tools To Make Sure You Get Paid

Posted August 18, 2007 in Productivity

We all know how important it is to keep track of everything, especially when we’re talking “money“, cause you do wanna get paid.

So, here is a list of 14 web-based invoicing tools. No downloads required, you can access your account(s) wherever you may be in the world, making it really easy to manage your invoices and get paid (on time).

A lot of folks prefer installing a software on their computers and keeping all their data on there, but I personally like web-based apps, they’re great for the freelancers “on the go“. And with most web-based apps, you can download your data and store it on your own computer for future reference. ;)

Many of the apps listed here are more than just invoicing tools, some also offer time and task management, project management and other “nice to have” tools.

*some of those apps are free, and some require a paid membership. The sites are listed in no specific order.

What Do You Use?

When the time comes you have to send your invoice to your clients, what do you use? Do you send your invoices by e-mail, or do you prefer printing them out and sending them by regular mail? If you use a web-based app, which one is it? If you don’t use one, how do you manage your invoices and keep track of all this? How much would you be willing to pay for an invoicing tool/app? ;)

    Thanks for the list of places to check out. I would like to move to an online system.

    I currently email clients invoices as pdf’s and it works ok, unless they can’t open pdf’s then I have to mail it.

    Emailing a pdf is a great way to go. Most accounting programs will export to pdf.

    Faxing can be good, but you have to be careful about that because some companies don’t like invoices coming over the central office fax.

    And when all else fails, there’s good old snail-mail!

    There are just so many options. I know of three software applications that accountants reccommend and which work with banks websites as well as these 14 too. You generally get what you pay for but online service must be better value.

    There should some comparison or review of these sites somewhere.

    As if those above are not enough, another is launching soon called BillQ. The address is http://www.mybillq.com/

    Intuit recently launched http://www.billingmanager.com which is a very easy, free online invoicing tool. There’s an upgrade path to QuickBooks if you ever want to track expenses or manage other aspects of your business. There’s also an iPhone app that has been selected as Staff Pick by Apple on their iPhone site. Billingmanager.com recently added recurring invoicing and estimates, and integrates with Intuit’s credit card acceptance service (optional, but cool to send an electronic invoice, allow the customer to click to pay online, and the business gets paid faster).

    I just have to say, that after doing *extensive* reviews of all of the sites out there, http://www.billingboss.com/ came in at the top of the heap. Why?

    1) it’s free
    2) excellent interface
    3) creates downloadable pdfs and/or
    4) sends out a link to the client optionally with the attached pdf

    It’s simple and exactly what i want without the kitchen sink. Bang on Sage. Bravo.

    In the interest of full disclosure, I don’t work for Sage, and I don’t own any of their other software products (though that might change in the future since this product is so damn good).

    Awesome article! I went through some of the sites u posted above. I think Freshboks has the most features but interface is cluttered with tons of things to do. They just have too many features. I recently signed up with Net2Invoice.com – http://www.net2invoice.com and I have to admit, they have a super simple interface. I run a store in a mall and I was sick of using quick books and cash register. This was a replacement to everything. They promised to add inventory tracking soon but other than that, I love the site. It is free to use. I didn’t have to buy anything.

    There is also a simple site http://www.bestinvoices.com that get more from this interesting subject. You can vote there for your favorite one (and add one if missing). Hopefully this site will be developed soon to provide more info (not only voting)

    As a small business owner who’s always on the go, and always in need of tracking on the go for invoicing purposes… I can’t believe nobody here has talked about mobile capabilities of these providers.

    The closest thing to something good is bill4time.com, as they have a very good, simple, quick Blackberry app. But they’re not great.

    Intuit Billing manager and Sage’s Billing Boss claim to have Mobile support, but it’s through the web browser of devices. I need a FAST way to enter job’s while on the go.

    Their pricing is economical, vast features(template customization, additional custom fields, multi-language, time tracking, expenses, a wide range of payment gateways, pdf link on invoice, pdf attachment on mail) this application can simply satisfied the needs of any industry.
    And the main thing which we liked most is their response on Live Support and the speed in which they resolve our queries.

    We’re a web design company that works with subcontractors, and we’re trying to streamline our billing process.

    We’d like an invoicing program that allows our subcontractors to log in and create their own quotes. They should not be able to review quotes assigned to other contractors or other info not relevant to the quotes and projects they’re working on.

    The management team would then review each contractor-entered quote, edit if necessary, add a markup, and send the quote to the client. All parties involved would be notified by the system if one of us turns the quote into an active project.

    We should be able to easily turn the quote into an invoice. This should close the quote (or give us the option to close the quote) so we don’t have a bunch of open quotes piling up and have to wonder, “Did we bill this open quote?”

    Each quote or project would be assignable to a contractor or contractors, and we would be able to track who made which changes.

    We should also be able to track how much we paid our contractors on each job, and possibly keep track of subcontractor payments right in the system.

    Does anyone know of a program that works this way?

I found out five applications, those are BambooInvoice, Simple Invoices, MyClientBase, Siwapp and Argentum. Read my review of invoicing application .

    A new time, billing and accounting application that wasn’t available at the time this article was written is Bizmo. It’s a native app for iPad and iPhone and makes it easy to bill clients, plus all data is stored on the Bizmo Accounting Cloud and accessible from anywhere – ideal for freelancers! Check out the website at http://bizmo.com or an intro video at http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=whXD7cjLcaI.

    Been using InvoiceOn for iPhone. It’s simple and got a PayNow button in your invoice for immediate payment.

    I am using Cuckoo System http://www.cuckoosystem.com

    Not many fancy features but that what I like. Simple and intuitive. With a calendar interface which is easy to track down your works. Automatically generate invoices and receipts to the corresponding clients. The invoice generated is editable as well. Pretty handy!

    Great Post !

    All websites from above provide a lot of features. But for small business like ours we were looking for a combination of Online Invoicing and Online Cash Flow. It was really time consuming to invoice in one place and then manually enter invoice amounts in to cash flow table.

    We stumbled upon this websites Start Online Invoicing

    It has minimal appearance but offers exactly what we needed. Now when we issue an invoice it automatically goes to client and right away we can see our updated cash flow online.

    Wow!!

    Outsource Invoice Management. Please.
    January 17th, 2012 at 8:35 pm

    The other side of the playing field is that no matter what invoicing software you might use, to a certain extent, you’re still at the mercy of the client’s accounts payable department. Sometimes clients might be outsourcing accounts payable to a third party, which often makes it difficult knowing who to follow up with. Then again, clients that do outsource this function tend to be pretty professional about payments.

    The best situation is when a client as a dedicated operations/HR person that works like clockwork, but those are hard to come by and expensive. I have mixed feelings about clients that use automated invoice processing systems. On one hand the software makes them better at paying invoices on time. Then again, some invoice processing systems are more flexible than others. I ocasionally have to custom tailor my invoice to adjust to their system. It’s a little frustrating because it throws off the standardization of my templates. Then again, it’s usually not too big of a problem.

    At the end of the day, the one thing that stinks is a client that tries to take on accounts payable internally and fails at it.

    Useful post! However, I’m using another software that I like very much. It is http://www.1clickbusiness.com. I had one before this one but I had to exchange it because it happened to me more than once that my bills disappeared or didn’t reach their destination. I’ve been using 1clickbusiness for 4 months now without such problems.
