Did you know Freckle does invoicing? Cuz Freckle absoluuuuutely does invoicing!
All paid account levels have unlimited invoices. (Free users, all you need to do is upgrade to any paid plan to invoice your heart out!)
And we’re adding a lot more power to it, too. Wanna get the inside skinny on our customer-driven roadmap? Just keep reading…
Why tell, when you can show? Follow the bouncing pink arrow!
OMG! Invoicing! We're not done yet, but what a start!
Now on your project pages - soon, everywhere! Mwahah!
Just click the button to start! By default, all your open (not-yet-invoiced) hours will be included, but of course you can tweak the dates! When you're done, your invoice will be listed riiiiight here.
Configure on-the-fly! That's right, those pink arrows are not some weird invasive species, they are options you can set -- or not! -- when you create your first invoice for a project.
If it's blue, it's for you! Everything in blue is something you can change, tweak, change, or delete. Plus, of course, the date ranges.
No accidental surprise auto-emailing here. You choose how to send your invoice to your client: print and mail? Email a link? IM a link? Skype a link? Tweet? Your choice!
Already been invoicing? No problem! Create a catch-up invoice so you can set your baseline to zero, and enjoy one-click invoices that include all your not-yet-billed time.
Thanks for reading! We hope you’ll create your first invoices soon… and let us know what you think!
Invoicing is Going & Growing!
Thanks to your feedback, we’re focusing heavily on growing the invoicing feature. Here’s just a quick hit list of some of the things we’re working on related to invoicing…
- expense tracking / line items
- marking invoices as paid, income projection
- split hourly rates (e.g. Tim charges $x, Janice charges $y)
- grouping projects by client
- recurring budgets / invoices
There’s more, but we wouldn’t want to spoil the surprise!
What do you need from an invoicing tool?
Dream big! In a perfect world, what would an invoicing/cashflow tool do for you?

Oh man, right on-time. Need to create an invoice for client meeting tomorrow morning. Brava!
Being able to translate the invoice for non-English-speaking customers would be nice, indeed.
@Molte, I hear you! You’re not our only customer who can’t invoice in English. We’re still investigating the best way to implement it — probably letting you edit all the text yourself? — but it’s on our radar. :)
@Rüdiger, thank you! :D
@Tom, as you can see, expense / line items are the top of our list :)
@David, that kind of client access/portal (good word for it) is a part of our long-term roadmap for Freckle. We’re staffing up (hiring new developers) so we can build out the roadmap faster :)
@Jake – yay for serendipitous timing!
Thanks, all. Keep em coming :)
Nice one!
I’ll definately have to have a closer look…
Keep up the good work! Brilliant!
Would love for clients to be able to login to their own portal and see invoice history, outstanding amount, time spent, etc (in other words, what Freshbooks does). Thanks!
I really want to be able to charge for goods that we buy for clients. Do that and we dump quickbooks :D
Hi,
invoicing is great BUT: Please add localization for invoices! You really don’t just want the english-speaking folks to be able to create those nice invoices, do you? Please let me edit all text strings (in a general invoice settings panel or so…)
…or better in the invoice itself. usability 4 teh win! :)
@Invoicer: you got it! Our plan is to do in-line editing like you just described. We also just got 3 emails requesting it as well. That may be the most popular feature ever after invoicing itself!
I wish I could give you a firm ETA, but as I mentioned elsewhere, we’re hiring help now to get these things done faster… so “ASAP” is all I can say for sure!
I would like the invoice to be broken down into a choice of either time increments or tags. My clients won’t like a lump sum without explanations.
It would be amazing if I could give Freckle my invoicing schedule for all my clients, and have it do all of this automatically (or maybe it’d email me first to get “sign off” — like Freckle’s my helpful assistant who prepares my invoices for me).
Some way to include travel mileage would be great.
I also agree with Invoicer & Molte about language options and Catherine Wachs, about breaking down into a choice of either time increments or tags.
Develop API with Xero, which is a full-on accounting package and has a API.
Kind of new to this, but is there a way to set the status of invoices? That would be great if once saved, it could be labeled as “sent to client”, “unpaid”, “paid”, or some other variants. This would definitely help keep track of unpaid invoices after they start to stack up. No one wants to forget that they are still owed cash moneys!
