If you're a UK freelancer, you've probably tried an invoicing tool that felt built for a finance department: projects, estimates, purchase orders, tax modules, dashboards you'll never open. You just want to bill your hours and get paid.
What you actually need
- Clients with an hourly rate. Set it once; every line bills at the right rate automatically.
- Invoices you can add to as you go. Log time across the week, then send it.
- A clean way to send it. A shareable link your client can open and print to PDF, no login required.
- "Mark paid." And a running total of what's still outstanding.
That's it. Everything else is noise for a solo freelancer.
Why GBP-first matters
A lot of the popular invoicing apps and newer AI invoicing tools are US-first: dollars by default, US tax assumptions, date formats that trip you up. InvoiceBadger is built in GBP for the UK freelancer, so your invoices look right out of the box.
A setup that takes minutes
- Create a free account and add your business name and payment terms.
- Add a client with their hourly rate.
- Raise an invoice and log time as you work — or just tell your AI to do it.
- Send the public link, then mark it paid when the money lands.
No per-seat pricing, no forced upgrades to do the basics. Free covers unlimited invoices and clients; Pro (£5/month) adds your own branding and removes the small "Made with InvoiceBadger" line.
