Hi does anyone know of some good free/cheap software that can be used to bill clients with?
I have been doing work through Elance and now upwork which does this for you but with Elance being closed and having moved to upwork, the upwork fees etc are a lot more and I would like to know of any good software that you guys use or know of to bill your clients with etc?
Thanks :).

Thank you Amit! I really appreciate it! From what I was reading about it (and now with the paypalme update link) it's pretty easy I guess to just create a word document with the link and all details. Invoice ninja has some very nice looking invoice templates though and it may be a simpler way of keeping track of everything (all financial records in one place etc) to use one of the websites.
Do you just use paypal directly?

No worries man, I was going to look into it eventually for myself, so you gave me an excuse to.
Yeah I pretty much exclusively use paypal, unless it is a local client, for which I prefer bank transfers.
You can use the request money tab to send invoices and track them etc. Paypalme isn't available for New Zealand so can't say anything there. Yeah I was going to suggest using pre-made templates and just send out your own pdfs. Guess it just depends how much admin time you want to devote to that stuff!
