Why we built an invoicing app that's actually free

Most invoice apps cap you at three invoices a month, then raise the price. Plainvoice doesn't count — here's the thinking behind it.

If you’ve ever used a “free” invoicing app, you know the script: three invoices a month, then a paywall. A year later the price doubles. Features you relied on move to a higher tier. One day, payment collection is switched on without asking.

We read those one-star reviews so we wouldn’t repeat them. Plainvoice is built on a simple promise: the core is free, forever, with no counting.

What “free” actually means here

  • Unlimited invoices, clients and estimates. We never count them.
  • Real PDF export and get-paid links — not behind a wall.
  • Your data lives on your device. One-click export, any time. No hostages.
  • We never take a percentage of what your clients pay you. 0% fee.

So how do we keep the lights on?

AI is the only thing you ever pay for, and only when you want it — describing an invoice in a sentence, translating one into your client’s language, or reading a photo of a paper invoice. Making invoices by hand is always free.

That’s the whole model. No surprises, in writing, permanently.
