What We Love

  • Creates GST-compliant invoices with GSTIN field
  • Multi-currency invoicing (INR + USD in same account)
  • Automatic payment reminders that actually get paid
  • Time tracking built-in (no Toggl needed)
  • 30-day free trial, no credit card required

The Downsides

  • USD pricing — costs more when rupee weakens
  • No UPI payment link on invoices
  • Mobile app slower than desktop
