Quick answer
Zoho Invoice is free invoicing software for freelancers and small businesses. It sends unlimited invoices, accepts online card payments, and automatically emails clients before and after an invoice is due to get you paid on time. Unlike Wave, which moved automatic reminders behind a paid plan in 2026, Zoho Invoice keeps them free. Accounting features such as bank reconciliation and reports require its paid sibling, Zoho Books.
