What invoicing billing tools do you recommend for freelancing?

    Do you need one?

    If you're just going to make a couple of invoices each month you can just make the invoice with your favourite editing tool (Sketch, IA, Pages, Google Docs) and keep track of them in a simple spreadsheet.

    This is what I do (I try to work on multi-week projects, so usually it's 1-3 invoices per month) and it's been fine.

      Same here. But I guess it might be different in the US.

      Why are you guys using tools like those mentioned? What are the benefits, what are you getting out of it?

        I used to invoice this way however I now (using Wave) find it easier to keep track of invoices I've sent, see when they are due, keep track of how much is coming in / get financial info for the year and also send out reminders for late payments.

        To some extent its comparable to the benefits you get from using a to-do app over writing everything in a text doc.
