Get Paid in Days,
Not Weeks
Dead-simple invoicing that takes 60 seconds to send and gets you paid 3x faster. Set up recurring payments with one click. So simple it's barely software.
You're Not an Accountant. Stop Using Accountant Software.
Too Many Steps
QuickBooks requires 47 clicks to create an invoice. FreshBooks needs 23. You just want to tell someone what they owe you.
Chasing Payments
"Did you get my invoice?" "Just following up..." "Checking in again..." Sound familiar? You're a creator, not a collections agent.
Zero Recurring Revenue
Invoice. Wait. Get paid. Chase. Repeat. Every month starts at $0. No predictability, constant income anxiety.
Invoicing Stripped Down to What Actually Matters
60-Second Invoices
From Zero to Sent in 60 Seconds
No setup wizards. No account codes. No tax forms. Just who owes you, how much, and when.

"We built Barely Invoice because we were tired of spending more time billing clients than doing the work they hired us for. After trying every invoicing tool out there, we realized they're all built for accountants, not creators. So we built our own."
