The simplest invoicing setup for freelancers

If you're a 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. Invoice Badger is built in GBP for the freelancer, so your invoices look right out of the box.

A setup that takes minutes

1. Create a free account and add your business name and payment terms.
2. Add a client with their hourly rate.
3. Raise an invoice and log time as you work, or tell your AI to do it.
4. 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 a month) adds your own branding and removes the small "Made with Invoice Badger" line.
