Invoice Ninja packs the most invoicing tools into a low price. The free plan covers 5 clients with unlimited invoices, 11 templates with your logo, online payments, auto-billing and recurring invoices, deposits and partial payments, projects with billable time, expense tracking, a client payment portal and automatic currency conversion. Ninja Pro at $14 a month, or $140 a year, removes the client limit and the Created by Invoice Ninja line, sends automatic late payment reminders, lets you fully customize invoice designs, email through Gmail or your own SMTP server, link 10 companies under one login and calculate US state sales tax. Enterprise starts at $18 a month for 1 to 2 users and adds bank sync and e-invoicing. All paid plans have a 30-day money back promise. The interface has more settings than the simplest tools here, which costs it on ease of use, but few apps give this much control for this price.
