Why Honest Invoice
A billing tool, not an accounting maze.
QuickBooks is powerful accounting software. Wave is a broad small-business finance platform. Jobber is a field-service management suite. Honest Invoice takes a narrower approach: make estimates and invoices dramatically faster for people who do the work.
vs. QuickBooks
Choose Honest Invoice when your priority is fast estimates and invoices rather than full accounting.
vs. Wave
Choose Honest Invoice when AI-assisted job-to-line-item drafting is central to your workflow.
vs. Jobber
Choose Honest Invoice when you want focused billing without adopting an entire field-service suite.

Your AI agent can do the billing.
Honest Invoice speaks the language of modern AI. Our Model Context Protocol (MCP) server and REST API let Claude, Cursor, or any agent you run — create estimates, email clients, track leads, and pull your books — all scoped to your account with a dedicated key.
A lead posts on Craigslist at 9pm? Your agent drafts a professional estimate and emails it before you finish dinner. That's invoicing that keeps up with the times.
curl -X POST /api/mcp/documents \
-H "Authorization: Bearer hi_mcp_YOUR_KEY" \
-d '{ "type": "estimate", "client_name": "Jane", "items": [...] }'MCP for agents
Claude, Cursor, and any MCP client can create and send documents for you.

Is there really a free plan?+
Yes. Send up to 5 invoices a month on the free plan, forever. No credit card required.
How do payments work?+
We use Stripe under the hood. Your client clicks the payment link on the invoice, pays by card or ACH, and money lands in your bank on the standard Stripe schedule. We never touch your money.
What is AI line item extraction?+
Paste a plain English job description "replaced 3 ton condenser, 4 hrs labor, refrigerant charge" and we generate itemized labor and materials with realistic pricing. You review, edit, and send.
Can I use my own logo and colors?+
Yes. Pro and Business plans include a full Design section — your own logo, brand colors, and saved brand presets so you can invoice under multiple business names.
Do you handle taxes?+
We calculate and display tax on invoices, but filing is your responsibility. Talk to an accountant.
