Freebe
Simplified invoicing and accounting for French freelancers: unlimited quotes and invoices, bank synchronization, time tracking, URSSAF (social contribution) declarations and online payment through Stripe. Every feature is included in the single subscription.
Issuing a quote and an invoice is easy. The hard part is everything around it: up-to-date legal mentions, continuous numbering, record keeping, synchronization with 450 banks, calculation and online filing of URSSAF contributions, and the e-invoicing reform, whose obligations (approved platform) should be checked against the official texts. At €12.50 a month, the time spent maintaining all of that costs far more than the subscription. For invoicing alone a free tool exists; for everything else, no.
