Simple invoices. Bureaucracy.
The invoice app for freelancers: type a name and an amount. Spoonbill does the invoice, the sending, and the polite chasing.
- Free plan, no card
- First invoice in a minute
- Tax done right for your country
Three chores you stop doing.
Most of invoicing is not the invoice. It's the tax rules, the chasing and the forms. Spoonbill does those.
Fig 0.2
No chasing by hand
Polite reminders go out on their own, and stop the moment the client pays.
Fig 0.3
No forms to fill
A name and an amount is enough. Spoonbill writes the rest of the invoice.
1.0Write
Type a name and an amount.
Pick the client and Spoonbill fills in what it knows: their address, their currency, their tax. You watch the invoice they will get fill in as you type.
1.1
Clients, remembered
Bill the same people twice and the rates, taxes and payment terms are already there.
1.2
Quotes become invoices
An accepted quote turns into its invoice in one tap, lines and all.
1.3
E-invoices inside the PDFPro
German invoices carry their ZUGFeRD XML inside the PDF your client already gets.
2.0Send
It arrives ready to pay.
A short email with the PDF, and a link to a page where the client reads it in their language and pays by card. You see the moment they open it.
2.1
PDF, share link and read receipt
Every invoice goes as a PDF and a page, and tells you when it was opened.
2.2
In their language
The page and the PDF follow the client's language, not yours.
2.3
Card payments on the pagePro
A Pay button on the invoice page, through your own Stripe account.
3.0Chase
Reminders that chase for you.
Overdue invoices get polite, escalating follow-ups on a schedule you set once. The moment one is paid, the rest are cancelled. You stay the nice one.
3.1
A schedule you set oncePro
Before the due date, after it, and a final one. The wording escalates, politely.
3.2
Stops the moment it's paid
A payment cancels every reminder still waiting. Nobody gets chased for money they sent.
3.3
A nudge by hand on Free
One tap sends a reminder now, from the invoice itself.
4.0Get paid
Paid shows up by itself.
A card payment marks the invoice paid the moment it clears. A transfer is one tap. The month adds itself up, and the export is a file your accountant can open.
4.1
Card payments on the invoicePro
The client pays from the page; the invoice turns paid by itself.
4.2
Swiss QR-billPro
Swiss invoices carry the payment slip their bank app scans.
4.3
CSV export and the VAT reportPro
Every payment in a file your accountant can open, and the VAT you owe by quarter.
5.0Repeat
Retainers send themselves.
Set the client, the amount and the day once. Every month the invoice is written and numbered, and on Pro it sends itself. Taxes and currency follow the client, not the spreadsheet.

How fast can I really create an invoice?
Under a minute. You type the client, the amount, and the due date — Spoonbill fills in invoice numbers, taxes, totals, and your business details automatically. The slow part is deciding what to charge.
Is Spoonbill free?
Yes, and it stays free. Free sends 5 invoices or quotes a month for as long as you like, with unlimited drafts, clients and items, your logo and the phone app. Pro is €9 a month, VAT included, for unlimited sends and the business features. Every account starts with 14 days of Pro, no card asked.
How do I chase an overdue invoice without feeling awkward?
You don't — Spoonbill does. It sends a heads-up 2 days before the due date, then polite, firmer reminders 3 and 7 days after it, and stops the moment the invoice is paid. That automatic cadence is part of Pro; on Free you send the same reminder yourself, in one click.
Can I send recurring invoices?
Yes, on any plan. Set up a monthly retainer once and Spoonbill raises it on schedule, in the client's currency, with the right taxes. Sending it automatically is part of Pro; on Free, Spoonbill drafts on the day and waits for you to send. Pause or edit it any time.
Do my clients need an account to view or pay an invoice?
No. Clients get a clean link (or a PDF, if you prefer) that opens anywhere — no login, no portal, no password. Fewer walls between you and getting paid.
Does Spoonbill handle small-business VAT exemptions?
Where Spoonbill knows the rule, yes. The German and Austrian small-business exemptions (Kleinunternehmer) are built in, and so are German, Austrian and Swiss VAT; anywhere else you set your own rate, including 0%, and the wording that goes with it. Set it once and every invoice carries it. Tooling, not tax advice.
Can I export my invoices for my accountant?
Your invoices are always yours as PDFs, on every plan. The CSV export your accountant can actually work with is part of Pro — no copy-pasting numbers out of emails at year-end.
Your next invoice:
one minute, zero forms.
The app is live. Sign in, type a name and an amount — your first invoice is out the door in a minute.
