Receipt Maker
Read full descriptionHide full description
Create a clean, signed PDF receipt in about 30 seconds: type the amount, pick who paid, say what it was for, and send it by WhatsApp, email, or print. Receipt Maker works like a cash register — the number pad comes first, everything else is optional until you need it. Built for tradespeople, freelancers, landlords, tutors, cleaners, small shops, and private sellers who get paid in person and want to hand over proof of payment on the spot. SIX RECEIPT TYPES, ONE SIMPLE FLOW • Standard receipt — the classic block with number, amount, payer, purpose, place, date, and signature • Partial payment & deposit — shows the total, what has been paid, and the balance due • Installment plan — "payment 2 of 6" with the full schedule • Rent receipt — property, rental period, and an annual statement per tenant (Pro) • Security deposit — clearly marked, no tax line • Private sale — sold-as-seen wording with signature fields for both parties GET PAID THE REST • Put a payment QR code right on the receipt • SEPA GiroCode: the payer scans it in their banking app with the balance pre-filled • Or add your PayPal or Venmo link so the next payment is one tap away FAST BY DESIGN • Amount-first entry on a big number pad, with net/gross tax breakdown • Pick payers from your contacts or saved payer list — recent payers on top • Reusable purposes, plus optional itemized lines when a receipt needs detail • The amount in words is added automatically • Sequential numbering (e.g. RCT-2026-0001) with void handling that keeps the sequence intact • Duplicate any receipt, or create a follow-up receipt for the remaining balance that references the original PROFESSIONAL ON PAPER • Clean receipt templates — 2 free, all with Pro • Your logo, business details, tax ID, bank details, and signature • Tax options that fit: standard rates, mixed rates per line, or tax-exempt wording for small businesses • Receipts in English or German; app interface also in French, Italian, Spanish, and Portuguese ORGANIZED BY DEFAULT • Searchable history with monthly summaries • Filter by payer, type, and period • Export or re-share any PDF at any time • Full local backup — take everything with you to a new phone FREE AND PRO Receipt Maker is free to download and use: create receipts every month at no cost, with the core receipt types included. Pro removes the watermark and the monthly limit, unlocks all templates and rent receipts with annual statements, and includes all future Pro features. Available as a monthly or yearly subscription, or a one-time lifetime purchase. Payment is charged to your Apple ID at confirmation. Subscriptions renew automatically unless cancelled at least 24 hours before the end of the current period; manage or cancel anytime in your App Store account settings. If a free trial is offered, it converts to a paid subscription unless cancelled at least 24 hours before the trial ends. PRIVACY Receipt content, saved payer details, and signatures stay on your device; no account is required. Apple and RevenueCat process purchase and entitlement data. See the Privacy Policy for details. Important: Receipt Maker creates simple receipts (proof of payment). It does not create full tax invoices and is not a substitute for bookkeeping software, certified cash register systems, or professional tax advice.

Create invoices, estimates and payment receipts as clear PDFs. ClearBill is built for freelancers, contractors and small businesses who want to prepare their paperwork without creating an account. FROM CLIENT TO PDF Save clients and frequently used products or services. Add line items, dates and discounts, then preview a finished PDF to share or print. Turn an accepted estimate into an invoice and record payments you have received. WORK OFFLINE Your records are stored on this device by default. Creating and viewing documents does not require an internet connection. Sharing through another app or saving to a cloud folder may require a connection. MAKE IT YOURS Choose a PDF layout, add your business logo or signature image, and include photos or your own payment link and QR code. Use multiple currencies and custom tax labels and rates. Create complete PDFs in English, French, Spanish, German, Italian, Brazilian Portuguese or Japanese. Set your business region, document language, currency and date format separately. Choose taxes per item, control rounding and reuse your bank details. KEEP YOUR RECORDS Export PDFs, CSV files, a complete JSON backup or a ZIP archive. Save backups with Files and restore from JSON. Saved documents and exports remain available after you use the included 10 document creations; deleting a document does not reset that allowance. No registration or advertising. Apple handles in-app payments. RevenueCat verifies purchases using an anonymous app identifier and purchase history. Your document content is not sent to RevenueCat. Internet is required to buy or restore; creating documents and exports work offline. LANGUAGE AND SCOPE The app interface supports English, French, Spanish, German, Italian, Brazilian Portuguese and Japanese. ClearBill creates PDF documents and records payments manually; it does not process payments or submit tax returns. It does not transmit government e-invoices. This release stores records locally; automatic cross-device iCloud sync is not enabled.

Verdict
The clearest difference is update cadence: ClearBill at every 5 days against Receipt Maker's fortnightly. Receipt Maker's advantage is iOS requirement (15.0 vs 18.0). On price, ads, in-app purchases and device support there is nothing between them.
