Freemium Invoice Generator
Create professional invoices in seconds. Free invoice generator with PDF export, live preview, dashboard analytics, and Stripe-powered Pro subscriptions. Built for freelancers and small businesses who need lightweight billing without enterprise overhead.
SwiftBill is a freemium SaaS invoice generator that lets users create, manage, and export professional invoices without complex setup. It targets freelancers, consultants, and small business owners who need quick invoicing without signing up to heavyweight accounting software.
The free tier allows 3 invoices per month with a SwiftBill watermark. Pro at $9/month unlocks unlimited invoices, clean exports, and priority support. Built as a full-stack Next.js 16 application with Supabase for auth and data, Stripe for billing, and Vercel for deployment.
QuickBooks, FreshBooks, and Wave are built for full accounting workflows. Freelancers sending 2-3 invoices a month don't need chart of accounts, reconciliation, or tax filing features. They need to type, preview, and export.
Most tools require account setup, business configuration, and onboarding flows before you can create your first invoice. SwiftBill gets you to a live preview in under 60 seconds.
Side-by-side form and preview. From/To fields, dynamic line items (description, qty, rate), tax rate, notes, and status management. Auto-calculates subtotal, tax, and total in real time.
One-click export to professional PDF via html2canvas + jsPDF. Saves as the invoice number (e.g., INV-0012.pdf). Free tier includes a SwiftBill watermark; Pro exports are clean.
Invoice management with stats (total count, revenue from paid, pending amount). Filter by status (All, Draft, Sent, Paid). Sortable table with delete confirmation. Plan badge and upgrade prompts.
Email/password + Google OAuth via Supabase Auth. Stripe checkout for Pro upgrades ($9/mo). Webhook handling for subscription lifecycle. Free tier enforcement at 3 invoices/month with upgrade modal.
Full-stack Next.js 16 App Router application with TypeScript and Tailwind CSS 4. Supabase PostgreSQL for data with Row-Level Security — users can only access their own invoices. Server-side session validation via middleware with HTTP-only cookies.
