You finish a job and need to send the invoice before the next one starts. The big invoice apps will do it, for $8 to $20 a month, every month, for as long as you run your business. This app charges you once. Make estimates and invoices, send clean PDFs, and never pay a renewal. ESTIMATES AND INVOICES Write an estimate on site and send it before you leave the driveway. When the customer says yes, one tap turns it into an invoice. Numbers run in order automatically (INV-0001, EST-0001), and you can change the prefix to match your books. SAVED CUSTOMERS AND ITEMS Your customers and the things you bill for are saved with your rates. The second invoice takes two taps where the first took two minutes. PDF IN SECONDS Preview the finished document, then send it by text, email, or anything else on your phone. Pinch to zoom and read the page at full size. What you see is the exact file your customer gets. A clean layout your customers will take seriously, with your business details and tax number in the header, payment instructions and the due date where they should be, and your customer's address, email, phone, and tax number under BILL TO. TAX AND DISCOUNTS One invoice can carry up to 5 tax lines, and you type the name of each one. GST 5% and PST 7%, CGST 9% and SGST 9%, state tax and city tax: every line prints on the PDF as its own row, with its name and rate. Rates keep every digit, so 9.975% prints as 9.975%. Set your usual lines once in Settings and every new document starts with them. Your tax registration number prints in the header with your business details, under the label you use: GSTIN, VAT, or ABN. When a job carries no tax, you can take the lines off that document, and your saved defaults stay as they are. Discounts work as a percentage or a dollar amount. All money math is done in exact decimals, so the totals on the PDF add up to the cent. MADE FOR WORK PHONES - Works offline. Job sites don't always have signal. - No account and no sign-up. Your customer list stays on your phone. - Big text and big buttons, readable in the truck. - Works with VoiceOver. THE PRICE Your first 6 documents are free, with every feature included. Free documents carry a small footer line that links to the app. One $14.99 purchase removes the footer line and the document limit, forever. No subscription, no monthly fee, nothing else to buy.

Verdict

The call

Paid and InvoSlate are too close to call on the numbers: across 5 compared parameters — price, ads, in-app purchases and device support among them — neither pulls far enough ahead to decide it. What separates them is feature set and interface, not measurable difference.
