Yes. On the free plan, adding clients, sending quotes and invoices, time tracking, and the payment dashboard are free forever. We only take a small fee (0.5%) on payments actually processed through the platform. Premium is optional.

Why not just use Stripe directly?

You can. Stripe handles the actual payment. What Stripe doesn't give you is a client list, quotes, invoice templates, automatic reminders, recurring billing, or a paid/unpaid dashboard. Billebly adds that layer on top of Stripe, so you don't have to build it yourself.

How is this different from Wave or Bonsai?

Wave and Bonsai are built to be full accounting or freelance-business suites, with pricing and features to match. Billebly deliberately stays narrow: clients, quotes, invoices, time tracking, and payment status, free to use, with a small fee only on the payments you actually process, and an optional Premium plan if you want a lower fee and your own branding.

Can I send a client a quote before invoicing them?

Yes. A quote uses the same line items, discount, and tax as an invoice, but nothing's payable until your client accepts it, or you convert it to an invoice yourself whenever you're ready. Accepted quotes can turn into an invoice automatically, right from the client's side.

What do I get with Premium?

Premium costs €9 per month (excl. VAT) and lowers Billebly's fee on processed payments from 0.5% to 0.2%, which alone covers the price once you process about €3,000 a month. It also puts your own logo, brand color and font on invoices, quotes, credit notes and client emails, removes the "Powered by Billebly" branding, lets you turn off the online payment link (for example when clients pay by bank transfer), and includes priority support. Cancel anytime: you keep Premium until the end of the month you've paid for.

Who pays Billebly's fee: me or my client?

By default, you do. Stripe's own processing fee always comes out of your payout, that part's fixed. But Billebly's fee (0.5%, or 0.2% on Premium) is your choice: a setting lets you pass it to your client instead, shown as a separate line at checkout.

When do I get paid, and can I still refund a payment?

Payouts are sent automatically to your bank account as soon as a payment succeeds, on Stripe's own schedule, with no holding period. You can refund a payment at any time too, in full or in part, right from the invoice page, with no deadline either way.

Is there a limit on how much I can invoice for?

New accounts start with a lower limit that rises automatically as you build a payment history, it's a fraud check, not a growth cap. Need a higher limit right away? Just reach out.

Can I use this for recurring clients, not just one-off projects?

Yes. Recurring and subscription billing is built in, so you can charge retainer clients automatically on a schedule.

Can I accept donations?

Yes. Switch on the free Donation links addon and create a reusable donation link with its own QR code to print, share, or put on your website. Donors pick a suggested amount or enter their own, and can give once or monthly. The same platform fee applies as on invoice payments.

Is there a referral program?

Yes. Invite another business from your Billebly settings. Once they sign up and process their first payment, you both get up to €1000 of processed payments with 0% Billebly fee (Stripe's own processing fee still applies).

Do my clients need an account to pay?

No. Clients get a link to a hosted invoice and can pay with a card. No sign-up is required on their end.

Are Billebly invoices EU e-invoicing compliant?

Yes, in format. Every invoice is automatically generated as a UBL 2.1 XML file structured to the EN 16931 European e-invoicing standard and attached alongside the regular PDF in the emails your client already gets - no extra step. Want your own copies for bookkeeping? Export everything you've generated in bulk from Settings. Need to correct an invoice after the fact? Issue a credit note straight from it, in the same EN 16931-compliant format. One caveat: some countries also prescribe how e-invoices are delivered. In Belgium, invoices between businesses must be sent through the Peppol network since 1 January 2026, which Billebly doesn't do yet, so Belgian business clients still need the XML delivered through a Peppol provider.

Who is behind Billebly?

Billebly is built and run by Netonic, an independent, self-funded software company from the Netherlands (KvK 93752318, VAT NL005039911B14). Netonic was founded in April 2024 and also builds custom websites, software, and AI automations for clients. Billebly's app data is hosted in the EU with Hetzner.

What happens to my data if I stop paying?

The free plan has nothing to stop paying for. If you cancel Premium, your account simply moves back to the free plan at the end of the month you've paid for: your data stays, your branding settings are kept (just no longer applied), and you can export everything at any time.
