For my purposes free doc templates (in my case Google Docs) serve my invoicing purposes perfectly well though. Plain docs are also nice in that they're more flexible than a web based app.

#23How do your clients usually pay you?
I do freelancing on the side and would use Paypal with smaller clients, but now I'm getting larger clients and wanted to make it more professional. I started using a free app a while ago and then realized I can only have 6 free invoices which just ran out. It also doesn't have an option for reciepts, which I just got asked for for the first time.

#28Seems strange to me that you cannot afford the "great options" if you're getting bigger clients! QuickBooks costs $10/mo, and the competitors like FreshBooks are in the same range (~$12/mo). I use QB and am quite happy with it; worth every penny to me :)

#29However, I think BlinkSale gives you 3 free invoices a month or something like that.
