Free invoicing for contractors. One plan. Every tool. From quote to paid. Start on ForgeBill Free, free forever: unlimited clients and drafts, up to 5 sent invoices or quotes per calendar month, PDF and email delivery, manual payment recording and receipts, and Stripe online payments (card, Apple Pay, Google Pay). On Free, a 0.5% ForgeBill platform fee applies to online payments, and documents include a small "Sent with ForgeBill" footer. Upgrade to ForgeBill Pro for unlimited sending, automatic payment reminders, recurring invoices, work orders with photos, signatures and completion sign-off, team scheduling and crew chat, Clean and Modern premium templates, business reports and CSV export, and no ForgeBill footer. Cloud Archive is included at no extra cost, with automatic paid-invoice PDF retention, year-close capture, month-by-month organization, individual downloads, and full ZIP export. ForgeBill works offline on mobile and on the web. Start with a 30-day trial with full access where available, no credit card required. The trial does not auto-renew; when it ends, your account moves to the Free plan and your data stays. Auto-renewable billing options are ForgeBill Pro Monthly ($19.99/month) and ForgeBill Pro Annual ($199.99/year, Save 17% compared with monthly). On Pro, online payments add the optional 0.5% ForgeBill fee only when the business selects the client-fee setting; Stripe processing fees still apply. Give a month, get a month: when someone you refer starts their first paid Pro subscription, you both get one month of Pro credit. Founding 100 annual offer: eligible new annual subscribers pay $99/year, locked at $99/year while continuously subscribed—even if the standard price later rises. Canceling ends the locked rate; standard pricing applies if you subscribe again. Limited to the first 100 verified redemptions and available only at forgebill.com, not through in-app purchase.
