Pay once. Use forever. That's the whole business model.
Invoices shouldn't be a subscription.
Popular invoice apps charge $84–264 per year to put your own work on a PDF. BillOnce is a beautiful invoice generator that runs entirely in your browser — free to use, and$19 once if you want the footer gone. No account. No cloud. Your data never leaves your device.

The invoice-app tax, in numbers
Freelancers are paying monthly forever for what is, technically, a nice-looking template and a print button. Pricing below was checked in October 2026.

| Invoice Simple | $6.99/mo — 3 invoices. $21.99/mo unlimited | Templates + PDF export | $83–264 / yr |
| FreshBooks | from ~$7.60/mo | Full accounting suite | $91+ / yr |
| BillOnce | $19, once | Everything, forever | $0 / yr |

Questions, answered straight
Is $19 really one-time?
Yes. No renewal, no seat math, no “pro plus”. If we ever ship a billable add-on, it will be something new — not your invoice footer held hostage.
Where are my invoices stored?
In your browser's local storage on your device. There is no server that could leak them, sell them, or lose them. Export is on the roadmap as a JSON backup file; until then clearing browser data clears the app — keep that in mind.
How do I get the PDF?
Hit “Download PDF” and choose “Save as PDF” in the print dialog. It's the same engine that prints paper tickets — vector-sharp and reliable.
What happens if a dynamic invoice tool shuts down?
Wrong question — but a good instinct. Here, the app is static files in your browser cache: even if this website vanished tomorrow, your last-loaded copy keeps working and your data was always local.
Refunds?
14 days, no drama. Payments and taxes are handled by Waffo as Merchant of Record — see the refund policy.
