Data & business
AltFTool's Invoice Generator builds a print-ready itemized invoice with tax and totals, free and without an account. FreshBooks starts at US$23.00/month on the Lite plan and has no free tier at all. Zoho Invoice, though, is genuinely free — so if you need saved clients and payment collection, switching to a paid tool is not the only option, and we would rather say so.

Most of these products have a free plan, and whether you need to pay at all depends entirely on where its ceiling sits. Here is each one in the vendor's own terms.
Plenty of people should keep paying for these, and these are the reasons why.
