Questions from freelancers and creatives

Compare plans

Can I invoice in another currency?

Bilbee invoices in Australian dollars. You can invoice an overseas client, but it doesn't currently offer multi-currency invoices. Check the right GST treatment for overseas work with your accountant.

Can I use my own logo?

Yes. Add your logo, invoice colour and payment details. Pro also lets you remove the Powered by Bilbee credit from supported client-facing pages and emails.

Can I invoice a retainer as well as one-off projects?

Yes. Use regular invoices for projects and recurring templates for repeat work. Free includes two active templates; Standard and Pro include unlimited templates. Recurring auto-send is a Pro option.

Do I have to pay just to keep receipts?

No. Expense records and receipt uploads are unlimited on every plan. The receipt inbox that reads forwarded emails into drafts is a separate feature on Standard and Pro.

Will Bilbee put tax money aside for me?

No. Bilbee shows estimates based on your records. You decide what to transfer to your own savings or tax account. Your accountant can help you check the amount.
