About BillSlip

BillSlip is an invoicing app for freelancers and consultants who want to bill clients quickly without a heavy accounting package. Users create line-item invoices that can include tax, discounts, notes, payment terms and a choice of currency, and download client-ready PDFs.

The workspace keeps reusable client records, a revenue overview with invoice volume and payment status, and downloadable copies attached to invoice history. Each account sees only its own invoices and clients. Paid upgrades add emailing invoices directly, automatic payment chasing for late invoices and removal of the BillSlip footer.

BillSlip is a hosted service whose free tier allows unlimited invoices and PDF downloads with no card required. It suits independent professionals who send a handful of invoices each month and want follow-up on overdue payments handled for them.
