Zoho Invoice

Genuinely free invoicing, with no transaction cap for small teams

Visit Website
Works in Africa

Zoho's standalone invoicing product, separate from Zoho Books. Quotes, invoices, recurring billing, expense capture, time tracking and client portals, in multiple currencies and languages. Free for a single user with no invoice limit, which makes it one of the few serious invoicing tools a solo founder can run at zero cost indefinitely.

Use when

You bill clients and need to look professional before you need full accounting, or you invoice in a currency your bank's templates do not handle.

Skip when

You need ledgers, VAT returns or bank reconciliation. This is invoicing only; that work lives in Zoho Books or an equivalent, and moving later means moving.

Accepts payment gateways including Paystack and Flutterwave, so African customers can pay an invoice without an international card.
