What is Zoho Invoice?

Zoho Invoice is free invoicing software for freelancers and small businesses. You can create invoices from templates with your logo and send them by email, SMS or as a PDF, turn approved quotes into invoices, set up recurring invoices and automatic payment reminders, track billable expenses and log time so hours are charged correctly. A customer portal lets clients view and pay invoices and respond to quotes, and online payments can be taken through payment gateways. It has iOS, Android, Windows and Mac apps, and support by email is free.
