Freelancers: stop sending invoices as Word documents. It's unprofessional and it's costing you money.
Professional invoices get paid faster. But you shouldn't need to pay $15-25/month for invoicing software when you only send a few invoices.
What You Actually Need
A good invoice generator should:
- ✅ Be free (or very cheap)
