Hi Tom,

Billing Boss has recently been upgraded to support multiple languages and mobile access (IPhone and G1). There are many small improvements as well. More can be found here http://blog.billingboss.com/2009/04/new-in-billing-boss-languages-iphone.html

Please give it a try when you have time.

Thanks.

It’s been a while since I looked at these invoicing apps but I think the other free one I came across was Intuit Billing Manager https://billingmanager.intuit.com/billing/welcome.url – But it was geared for the US only unless they’ve changed it.

Edit: Looks like Billing Manager may support multi currency in the future – Will have to keep an eye on this one.

You mentioned a fourth application that also looked promising but you left out because it didn’t support Euro. I’m in the States and don’t need that. Can you share what that other application is?

Hi tom,

nice small list you have there with a good description of each. invoice journal is good, and is nice, but when i did mess around with it, i used to get errors with it. dunno if it was just a server hiccup, but it really made me lose faith in the service as a whole, not that i had any serious intention of using it.

@ Derek, I must admit, I tried this software in it’s earlier days, and whilst i liked the concept of it, it was really young and extremely buggy. Looking at it now, everything from the interface to the features to the functionality has all improved immensely and you should be proud of it.

On the brightside, I have a client who i worked with very recently in setting up her new business, and she bought invoice software for $100 USD. http://www.office-kit.com/. bamboo and simpleinvoices would have done the same , if not better, for free.

When the times comes that I will have substantial use for such an application, I will strongly consider using BambooInvoice.

Regards,
Nev

Hi Derek, one of the things I noticed when trying the BambooInvoice demo was filtering the list of invoices, the selections at the top didn’t seem to effect the invoice summary list. Not sure if it’s a bug or just unfinished.

Another thing I noticed is that when applying a payment to an invoice it gives a nice payment history but it would be even nicer to see all payments totaled up and a total for how much is still outstanding on each invoice.

I’ve only tried the demos briefly but I hope to install it and try it out in greater detail soon.

I’m the author of BambooInvoice. Firstly, thanks for taking the time to check it out. Anything specific about it that you found buggy? Fixing those types of things is very high on my list of priorities.
