Invoice software for service businesses that have outgrown templates and separate payment links

Send invoices, collect payment, and keep the whole client billing trail in one place.

Retainers on autopilot

Automation

Set up monthly retainers once — WaffleInvoice sends them on schedule with automatic reminders so you focus on the work, not the billing admin.

Best fit if

Billing is part of how you run client work.

  • You want invoices, reminders, payments, and client-facing polish to work together.
  • Your work includes estimates, retainers, recurring service, or supporting documents before payment.
  • You want something lighter than full accounting software without losing workflow quality.

Probably not the fit if

You only need a simple template or a full accounting suite.

  • You only need a one-off invoice PDF generator with no follow-up workflow.
  • Bookkeeping, payroll, or accounting depth is your main buying priority.
  • You do not need online payments, recurring billing, or client portal access.

Start with your main job

Pick the path that matches what you need to fix next.

Choose one route and move straight into setup. Each path is built around a concrete billing bottleneck, not a generic feature list.

Why teams switch

Most businesses do not have an invoice problem. They have a billing workflow problem.

WaffleInvoice is for service businesses that have outgrown PDFs, separate payment links, reminder emails, and client context spread across too many places.

What matters
Patchwork setup
WaffleInvoice

Estimate approval to invoice

Important when quoted work still needs to become billable work quickly.

Rebuild line items and client details from an old estimate or document.
Convert approved estimates into invoices without retyping the job.

Recurring client work

Critical for retainers, maintenance plans, and repeat monthly billing.

Duplicate old invoices, calendar reminders, and manual follow-up every cycle.
Run recurring invoices and reminders in the same billing workflow.

Payment collection

The hard part is usually not sending the invoice. It is getting paid on time.

Send separate payment links and track status across inboxes or spreadsheets.
Accept ACH and card payments from the invoice page or portal and track status in one place.

Client context

Clients pay faster when receipts, proofs, and billing details are easy to review.

Search through email threads for attachments, approvals, and old invoice history.
Keep attachments, receipts, and billing history connected to the invoice record.

Simple pricing

Free forever for invoicing. Upgrade when you need automation and payments.

No setup fee. No extra platform fee on payments. Just straightforward pricing for service-business billing.

Compare plans

Before your first invoice

Clear the uncertainty before you start.

These are the first questions most new users ask before committing to their first invoice workflow.

Signup confidence

Can I start before I connect online payments?

Yes. The free plan is for creating invoices and tracking manual payments. Connect online payments when you upgrade to Pro — ACH and card collection are a Pro feature.

Compare Free vs Pro

Signup confidence

Can I test the real client experience before committing to Pro?

Yes. The free plan lets you send unlimited invoices, share client portal links, and see the full billing experience from the client side — with no time limit. Upgrade to Pro only when you need email delivery, online payments, or automation.

Signup confidence

Does it work for recurring retainers and monthly service work?

Yes. Recurring invoices, reminders, and payment collection are built for repeat service billing, which makes WaffleInvoice a better fit once retainers or ongoing client cycles start to create admin drag.

Signup confidence

Do I have to change my whole process on day one?

No. Most teams start by replacing the weakest part first, usually sending cleaner invoices, collecting payment from one link, or tightening recurring follow-up before they move more of billing into one place.
