Free and open source invoicing software for entrepreneurs

InvoiceLion

Software developers during the day and "Invoice Lions" at night... We are twin brothers and freelance software developers with a hobby: We like to build online tools and we like to share. We needed an Invoicing system and decided to build our own. Invoicing should be open and free. We use InvoiceLion ourselves, and continuously improve this tool. We aspire to be the Wikipedia of Invoicing, so we would love to get feedback from you. Let's build this tool together! Are we doing a good job? What needs to be improved (first) or added? Let us know!

InvoiceLion.com

We run a production instance of this software on InvoiceLion.com and you can use it for FREE. We promise to never make a profit from this service, but we may ask for a (optional) donation in order to pay for our servers.
