Invoice Ninja

Open-source invoicing with a free five-client plan and Pro at US$14/month

Overview

Invoice Ninja is an invoicing, quoting and payments application whose source code is published in a public GitHub repository (invoiceninja/invoiceninja), with a self-hosting option documented at invoiceninja.org; the company also sells a hosted service[11]. This makes it one of the few invoicing tools a business can run on its own servers.

The hosted Free plan allows unlimited invoicing for up to five clients with 11 templates, but without API access, branding removal or extra users[11]. Ninja Pro costs US$14 per month or US$140 a year and adds unlimited clients, branding removal, REST API access, automatic late-payment reminders and Gmail or Microsoft email sending[11]. Enterprise is priced by users, from US$18 per month for one or two users up to US$300 for 51–100 users, and adds per-user permissions, bank-account sync and e-invoicing through PEPPOL[11]. Paid plans carry a 30-day money-back guarantee[11]. The open-source route gives control over data, but self-hosting requires technical skills, and the hosted free plan’s five-client limit is tight.
