Most invoicing tools are built for accountants. SettleDue is built for the freelancer at the kitchen table, the consultant on retainer, the contractor finishing a job. Bill by the hour, by the project, or on retainer, send the invoice, and get paid. No chart of accounts. No learning curve. No features you'll never touch.
How it works
Add line items, set your terms, and the PDF is ready. Or track hours first and turn them into an invoice automatically.
Email the PDF directly to your client. Done from the job site, the truck, or your desk.
Record payments, see what is still open, and know exactly where you stand.
From users
“I used to track hours in a spreadsheet and copy them into Word docs for invoices. Now I just log time and hit generate. The PDF looks better than what I was making by hand.”
“I write up the estimate on my phone before I leave the job site. When the work’s done, I turn it into an invoice and email it from the truck.”
“QuickBooks wanted me to set up a chart of accounts before I could send my first invoice. I signed up here and had a PDF in my client’s inbox in ten minutes.”
