Origin Story

By Hillel Coren & David Bomba

The Problem

Invoicing tools were either too limited in their free tiers or too expensive for freelancers just starting out. Wanted to build a genuinely free, full-featured option.

Building It

Launched in 2014. Built a passionate community around the open-source project. One of the most popular open-source invoicing platforms.

What It Means

Professional invoicing should be accessible to everyone, regardless of budget. Open source makes that possible.

The Dream

To be the best free invoicing tool in the world.
