Best invoicing software out there.

Pros: Easy to use, easy to configure. I tried over a dozen invoicing programs before settling on QuickInvoice. Why? I wanted to be able to print professional looking invoices configured the way I wanted. As a service-based business, I need to be able to bill by the hour, I don't need to track shipments, and I don't require shipping dates. In short, QuickInvoice let me create an invoice best suited for my particular business needs. I was able to easily remove those items I don't use and streamline the finished invoice. I can create a customer, add them to the database, initiate an invoice for them, and apply payments when required. The click of a button can change my invoice into a receipt, and it's a breeze tracking client payments. I've also had clients say they like my invoices, that they're easy to read, are clearly marked as invoices, and looked quite professional. I also tested the output of all the invoicing software I tried on my wife and kids. They all preferred QuickInvoice over any of the other products.

Here's a list of the products that didn't make the cut: Billing Star, Invoicer, Invoice2go, PCInvoice, Snappy Invoice System, Super Invoice, Invoice! Service, Simply Accounting, Client Biller, ABInvoice, and EasyInvoice.

Cons: Only two negative things I can think of, but neither are major problems.

First, every invoice prints with a disclaimer stating it was created using the free version of the program until you purchase it. That one is easy to cure - purchase the program.

Second, if you print your customer database, the results don't include customer addresses. Not a major inconvenience by any means, but it would have been nice had that feature been added.
