What it is
What is invoicing software for freelancers?
Freelancer invoicing software should not assume you have a shop counter. You have clients, GST or not, and invoices that must look like a vendor AP can pay.
TiBook Startup is free: invoices, quotes, expenses, payment in, outstanding. Add a signature and logo on the company. Recurring retainers are Enterprise. Time tracking is not built in — put hours on the line.
No native time tracker. Recurring is Enterprise. Payment gateways are not the same as recording payment in.
Why it matters
Why a PDF in Drive is not a system
GSTIN and invoice numbers drift
AP rejects bills that look amateur or reuse a number.
GST or not
Unregistered today, registered next year. The same product should toggle tax, not force a new app.
Time trackers
We do not have one. Put hours on the line. Agencies with vendors: see the agencies page.
How to
How freelancers bill in TiBook
1
Create an account — company optional
See invoice without a company. Add GSTIN on the profile when you register.
2
Add the client as a party
Even if they are overseas, keep a name and email. GST rules for export of services stay with your CA.
3
Invoice GST or non-GST
Tax off if unregistered. SAC when registered. Logo and signature on the company, or draw on the free generator.
4
Record expenses
Software, contractors, rent. Payment out so P&L is not only sales.
5
Follow unpaid invoices
Reminders when the party has a phone. Duplicate last month if Enterprise recurring is more than you need.
