The pain

The freelancer payment grind, fixed.

Three things that quietly kill your cash flow — and how invoicely handles each.

Problem

“Just sent — please check.”

You waste hours every month writing the same awkward follow-up email. Most tools make you click ‘Send reminder’ manually. We don’t.

Automated 4-step reminder sequence. Set once, fires forever.
Problem

GST you have to triple-check

CGST + SGST or IGST? What about exports? TDS deducted? Spreadsheet math is one wrong cell away from a notice.

State-aware GST. Export auto-zero-rated. TDS handled.
Problem

Tools that lock your money

Other invoicing apps make you use their payment processor and take a cut. You wait days for settlement and pay 2% to get your own money.

We never process payments. Money flows direct to your account.
What you get

Everything an Indian freelancer actually needs.

Designed around the real workflow of consulting, design, dev, writing, and CA work.

Reminders that escalate

Day 3 — gentle nudge. Day 7 — firm follow-up. Day 14 — escalation, late-fee mention. Day 30 — final notice. All editable, all customisable.

GST done right

Auto CGST + SGST for intra-state, IGST for inter-state, zero-rated for exports. Pre-loaded HSN/SAC codes for common freelance services.

Any payment method

UPI (with QR auto-embedded in the PDF), bank transfer (IFSC validated), PayPal, Wise, your own Razorpay link, or free-form text. We never touch your money.

Recurring retainers

Monthly or quarterly. Set it once — invoice generates, sends, and starts chasing on the day you choose. Pause anytime.

GST-compliant PDFs

Sequential numbering with FY (e.g. INV/25-26/0001). Discount line, TDS line, signature, your logo. Exactly what your CA wants.

Bill globally in one click

USD, EUR, GBP, AED, SGD invoices for international clients — automatically zero-rated as export of services. No GST headaches.

How it works

From signup to first paid invoice in 10 minutes.

1

Set up your business

Add your name, GSTIN, state, and the payment methods you accept. One-time, 3 minutes.

2

Send your first invoice

Pick a client, add line items, hit send. PDF goes out attached, with your UPI QR embedded.

3

We chase. You get paid.

Day 3, 7, 14, 30 reminders fire automatically. Mark paid, reminders stop. Repeat.

Why we’re different

We don’t process your payments.

Refrens, Vyapar, Zoho — they all want you on their payment rails. They take a cut. They hold your settlement for days. They lock you in.

invoicely is a document tool, not a payment processor. You add your own UPI ID, bank account, PayPal — whatever you already use. We display them on the invoice. Money flows straight to you.

  • 0% transaction fees. We take ₹0 from your invoices.
  • Settlement is instant — your client pays you, you have the money.
  • Switch payment methods anytime. No lock-in.

FAQ

Quick answers.

Is my data safe?

Yes. Your data lives in encrypted databases on Neon (Postgres) with TLS in transit. We never see, store, or touch your clients’ payments — those go directly to your UPI/bank/PayPal. Read our Privacy Policy for the full picture.

Do I need to be GST-registered to use invoicely?

No. invoicely works whether you’re GST-registered or not. If you have a GSTIN, we add it to invoices and apply the correct CGST/SGST or IGST automatically. If you don’t, your invoices simply omit GST — useful for freelancers under the ₹20L threshold.

Will my clients see ‘invoicely’ on the invoice?

Free plan invoices have a small ‘Generated with invoicely’ footer. Upgrade to Pro and the footer disappears. The rest of the invoice — your business name, logo, signature — is always 100% yours.

How are reminders different from other tools?

Most tools require you to manually click ‘Send reminder’. invoicely fires day-3, 7, 14, and 30 reminders automatically with escalating tone — gentle nudge, firm follow-up, escalation, then final notice. We stop the moment you mark the invoice paid.

What payment methods can I add?

UPI (with auto-generated QR codes), bank transfer (with IFSC validation), PayPal, Wise, custom payment links (your own Razorpay/Stripe), or free-form custom text. Add as many as you want; pick which ones show on each invoice.

Can I send invoices in USD or other currencies?

Yes. When billing a client outside India, pick from INR / USD / EUR / GBP / AED / SGD / AUD / CAD. Foreign-currency invoices are correctly treated as zero-rated export of services.

Do you handle TDS?

Yes. When a client deducts TDS (typically 10% under Section 194J for professional services), enter the rate on the invoice — net payable updates automatically and the invoice clearly shows what was deducted.

What about recurring invoices for retainers?

Set it up once: client, items, frequency (monthly or quarterly), day of month. Each cycle the system auto-creates the invoice, emails it to your client with a PDF, and starts the reminder sequence. You can pause anytime.

Your next invoice can chase itself.

Sign up free. Send your first invoice in under 10 minutes. We’ll handle the awkward follow-up.
