The Problem: I was a freelancer who needed to send an invoice. I searched "free invoice generator" and every tool had a catch. Sign up. Watermark. Limited to 3 invoices. $9/month after trial. Export as PDF only on premium. I just wanted to send a PDF invoice. That's it.

The Solution: I built my own. Took 2 hours. It worked. I used it for a year. Then I thought — maybe other freelancers have this problem too. So I made it open source, added more tools, and put it online for free.

❓ Frequently Asked Questions

What is the best way to handle late payments?

The best approach is automated invoice collection with clear payment terms, gentle reminders, and professional follow-up sequences. Tools like PingPaid can automate this entire process for you.

How do I calculate late fees on invoices?

Late fees are typically calculated as a percentage of the overdue amount (usually 1-2% per month). You can use our free late fee calculator or let PingPaid handle calculations automatically based on your configured terms.

What should I include in a freelance contract?

A solid freelance contract should include: payment terms, late fee clauses, scope of work, revision limits, kill fees, and intellectual property rights. PingPaid offers free contract templates in our template library.
