Use tool ↗About Billy
Billy is a small invoicing app from Ambition Software Inc. You describe the job in a prompt and it drafts the invoice, generates the PDF and writes the covering email, then tracks whether the customer has opened it. Payments run through Stripe, covering major cards plus Apple Pay and Google Pay, and the vendor charges no markup on top of Stripe's own fees. There is a single plan, billed in Canadian dollars, that covers unlimited invoices, PDFs and emails after a 30-day trial with no card required. It is aimed at freelancers and small businesses rather than at bookkeeping teams: no ledger, no expenses, no reporting.

Pros & cons of Billy
A single-purpose invoicing tool with one cheap plan and no add-on fees beyond Stripe's. It is genuinely small: prompt in, PDF and payment link out, plus read receipts. The worry is upkeep, since the developer's own portfolio page lists two other apps and not this one.
Pros
- One flat plan covering unlimited invoices, PDFs and emails
- No vendor markup on payments - only Stripe's standard fees
- Read tracking shows when a client has opened an invoice
- 30-day trial without a card
Cons
- Billed in Canadian dollars, so the cost in other currencies moves with the exchange rate
- No accounting, expense or reporting features at all
- No public API, integrations or mobile app found
Best for
- Freelancers who invoice a handful of clients a month
- Small businesses that want a payment link rather than an accounting suite
- People who dislike per-invoice or percentage fees
Not for
- Teams that need ledgers, expenses or tax reporting
- Anyone who needs invoicing tied into existing accounting software
Watch out: The developer's own site lists Foqos and Eqo as its projects and does not mention Billy, so treat maintenance as uncertain.
