InvoicePlane
What it is
InvoicePlane is a free, self-hosted application for managing quotes, invoices, clients, and payments. It follows billing from preparing a quote through issuing an invoice to receiving payment, and includes invoice tracking, recurring invoices, and a customer payment portal. Client records can store contact details, notes, and custom fields; basic project and task management is also available. Users can select themes, set amount formats, and edit email and PDF templates. InvoicePlane supports creating eInvoices intended to meet European Union standards starting with version 1.6.2. Its feature description lists PayPal and Stripe, while the version 1.6 wiki says Stripe is the only provider supported by default. The interface has community-contributed translations. It runs on web servers or shared hosting, with requirements including PHP 8.0 through 8.1 and MySQL 5.5 or later, or equivalent MariaDB. The homepage lists version 1.7.2 for server download. The project describes itself as a hobby-developed, non-commercial product, with community support but no paid help, service-level agreement, or 24/7 support.
