Hello,

Do you know any free quote/invoice software? I already tried Ciel Auto-Entrepreneur, but the identification with the code doesn't work.

Thank you for your replies =)

Hello,

I have been using https://www.tools4com.com/fr/ for over 6 months; it's an online software that allows for the generation of quotes, delivery notes, proforma invoices, invoices, and credit notes, as well as many other features.
I am satisfied with the service, and you can get a free account if you don’t have a high volume of invoices per month.
Good luck!

I am wary of online software, as the data is with them, they can sell it or make us dependent on it to become paid...

They have a privacy policy and in their general terms and conditions, it is clear that they do not allow themselves to disclose or use customers' personal data.

The purpose of online software is not to collect client data (this is indeed stated in the terms and conditions), but rather to provide a quality online service without the need to download a software. The latter are becoming less and less suited to the needs of businesses (mobility, speed of sending and interaction with clients). Moreover, software stores your data on a PC and cannot guarantee against crashes, theft, or data loss.
1 year of lost documentation in a few seconds due to 2 consecutive crashes, believe me... I immediately adopted online solutions. Personally, I use this one, which is reliable and comprehensive https://bpifrance-creation.fr and at least I have genuine online or phone assistance in case of problems.

Hello,

I would like to add "Sale n'Go" as the latest quoting/invoicing software (as well as reporting) that is SaaS-based, so it does not require installation and allows access from anywhere. It manages quotes, invoicing, proforma, your catalog, your clients, as well as reporting, alerts, and reporting.

Feel free to leave a comment on the site for your questions, etc...

I agree with the second Max :=) be careful with free online software: here we are not talking about photo editing software or music software... but about entrusting your company's sensitive data to a free provider. So there is no guarantee that our data will be protected, that the software will survive or become paid or worse, that the data will be sold for marketing or other purposes...

Personally, I use a paid professional online software at an affordable price https://www.myflexina.com. With Flexina, I know my data is protected and I have access to support, with backups three times a day...

A billing software is important for a company, do not entrust your client file to amateurs...

A bit expensive after all.
$19.99 per month for the basic version quickly adds up to a nice amount.

Indeed, you can get very good software for less than 50 euros each, which is less than 3 months of using Flexina.

Hello,

I am the manager of Flexina, I really dislike intervening on forums AND IF I CAN ADVISE ONE THING TO PUBLISHERS WHO ENJOY PRETENDING TO BE USERS, ONLY WORD OF MOUTH WORKS, A QUALITY PRODUCT AND CUSTOMER SERVICE BRINGS YOU MANY MORE CLIENTS THAN YOUR FAKE TESTIMONIALS ON FORUMS!

We actually ask our clients not to post messages on forums because they are filled with messages from small software publishers who are advertising and not from real users!

First of all, Philip's comment smells a bit like false competition writing a message for no reason, without making accusations but by comparing the price that you communicate and the number of corresponding spam advertisements at that price... I would lean towards the ultra present software in the forums that claims to be free but is actually paid if you really want to use it...

First of all, the price of 19.99 euros/month is not accurate, there is already a version of Flexina at 9.99 euros/month.

When comparing, you need to compare comparable things, you are comparing the price of software to the price of a professional service.

Our price includes:

- the license for the basic version of our software which, by the way, is much more advanced than most other online invoicing software.
- updates and addition of features based on our users' requests.
- responsive support 7/7 by phone with the possibility of remote intervention
- quality and ultra-fast hosting within a redundant architecture in case of failure.
- data backup every half hour
- access to a specialized version for iPhone, iPad, and Google Phone
- a short training
- a manual with step-by-step instructions for those who know nothing about computers.

There are no hidden fees in our prices unlike other major publishers where in addition to the single-user license, you have to pay for updates, support, 3 to 10 times more if you use the multi-user version, not to mention the costs incurred by setting up a computer network within your company; with Flexina you pay a fixed sum and benefit from an all-in-one service, accessible via a simple secure Internet connection!

So yes, it seems expensive when compared to "low cost" solutions often offered by a lone developer who doesn't even provide telephone support and where the longevity of the solution is not guaranteed.

But if you compare Flexina with other major software publishers, Flexina is by far the cheapest for a vastly superior service!

It's a choice to make, we don't do aggressive marketing, each company is free to choose between:

1) an amateur solution based on Excel or OpenOffice, in which case working together will pose quite a few issues and if you don’t take the time to make backups yourself, that will constitute a great risk of data loss in case of failure, theft, virus...

2) a cheap solution that offers almost no service; in this case, if there is a problem, you will have no one to turn to or you will have to wait several days or even months to get a solution!

3) a free but limited solution, you will either have to pay as soon as you need to use it for professional purposes, or be bombarded with advertisements, or in the worst cases, they will finance the software by selling your customer list!

4) a professional online solution like Flexina or other quality solutions that ensure your company total security of your commercial data, secure hosting, frequent updates, customer support by phone....

WHEN YOU MAKE THIS CHOICE, DO NOT FORGET THAT YOU ARE IN THE PROCESS OF CHOOSING A MANAGEMENT TOOL FOR YOUR COMPANY AND NOT A FREE DOWNLOADABLE PHOTO RETOUCHING SOFTWARE!

A very simple free software: FACTOURE
Moreover, you can add a personal header to it.

Well, free software doesn't exist (who works for free?)! I completely agree with Franck, there are only commercial scams with false claims of free access! (like limiting the number of invoices that can be printed, for example, or a trial period of x days without being warned).
As a result, after a certain time, it's impossible to recover your data and you're forced to buy the tool! It's a bit of forced selling.
Well, I finally found one, obviously not free but at least it was clear about it from the start, it's the software "Kafeo" => www.kafeo.com
They have several versions, I took the basic one and it suits me perfectly.
A very important point and this is a HUGE difference, I had to call customer service twice and they answered immediately and warmly!!!! What a relief! It's so rare these days that it really needs to be highlighted.

and no, free does exist, in the field of management it's tougher indeed because it involves money and the fake free offers to lure the gullible are plentiful.
It's rare but it exists, personally I spend time helping others, it's true that I don't make a living from it, but it exists, what is frustrating are the false promises and the scams...
Open source like Linux and the software that runs (well) in this environment is a large-scale example of free that works really well.
Best regards

The presentation of an invoice in construction is often, it seems, not taken into account in invoicing software.

Ideally, you should be able to create lines in bold or with a colored background to clearly separate the different sections and to be able to write descriptions freely, which may sometimes span multiple lines.

I made the suggestion on the forum of the Nego Facturation software and they added this feature last year. I am fully satisfied with it.

I tried several software programs but the one I'm currently using is called ARTIDEVIS

I downloaded it from the BATIRAMA website

http://www.batirama.com/batirama/Menus/Log...tml?gp=logiciel

it is easy to use and there is also a built-in price database to create estimates

I would like to point out that the max41200 who wrote twice on July 6 is not the max41200 who started the topic (== myself). I advise the latter to choose another nickname to avoid any misunderstandings.

However, thank you for your responses =)

To prevent this kind of misunderstanding, it is possible for you to register on the forum, we won't steal it from you (except for the anonymous ones but confusion is less likely!)

Hello

I am considering creating a consulting and IT development company for artisans, merchants, small businesses, and medium-sized enterprises. This company will offer custom "software services" with personalized interfaces and functions developed according to the client's needs. As I am in the market analysis phase, I am looking for interested individuals in this project to refine needs and pricing. If you are interested in a "custom" application at a reduced budget, please contact me

Best regards

If you have some experience or simply if you are good at math, use Microsoft Office to create your own little quoting or invoicing program. You also have the option to download free software, but there’s a certain pleasure in creating your own "little program" (I managed to do it for budgeting and also for hour calculations and others, so you can do it too). Moreover, if you don’t have Office, you can download Open Office for free, which will also allow you to "create a little program."

Between the free ones that become paid (and not just a little) after 3 documents entered, and those that we can do ourselves with Excel, I haven't yet found a truly nice free option.

Not free but inexpensive, try in order of preference:
- the DFC pack (https://www.jlogiciels.fr/ (several solutions available)
- ClicFacture (https://www.clicfacture.com/ (online)
