Some invoice apps call a plan “free” and then cap you at a handful of documents, or they start a clock after a trial. Fjordbill's free plan is ongoing. You can create unlimited invoices and estimates, store clients and items, and work offline, without opening a Fjordbill account.
What the free plan includes
| Included on the free plan | Notes |
|---|---|
| Unlimited invoices, estimates, clients, and items | No monthly document cap |
| US sales tax on line items | Multiple rates and a taxable flag per line |
| Professional PDF, logo, and Fjord or Classic templates | Free PDFs include a small “Made with Fjordbill” footer |
| Share or print from your phone | You send the file from your own email or messages |
| Works offline, no Fjordbill account | Data stays on the device |
| Dashboard, payments, deposits, and reports | Revenue, unpaid aging, and sales tax collected |
| CSV export, including QuickBooks, Xero, and Wave formats | See the export guides |
| Optional export of paid invoices to SovereignLedger | For receipts and Schedule C estimates |
What Pro adds
Fjordbill Pro is optional. It costs $7.99 per month or $49.99 per year, with a 7-day free trial on both plans, billed by Apple or Google. If you stop paying, every invoice you created stays on your phone and you can continue on the free plan.

How this compares, without superlatives
Several popular invoice products limit how many invoices you can send on their lower plans, or they charge a monthly fee for basic invoicing. Others offer a $0 plan that is designed to sit inside a larger accounting suite. Fjordbill is narrower: an offline invoice and estimate maker for US freelancers and contractors, with an uncapped free plan and a clearly listed footer on free PDFs. It is not a full bookkeeping suite. If you already use QuickBooks, Xero, or Wave, you can export a file and import it yourself.
Prices and limits at other companies change. Check their current pricing pages before you decide.
Frequently asked questions
Is there a limit on how many invoices I can create for free?
No. Fjordbill's free plan includes unlimited invoices, estimates, clients, and items. There is no monthly invoice cap.
What is the tradeoff on the free plan?
Free PDFs include a small “Made with Fjordbill” footer. That is the main tradeoff. Pro removes the footer and adds time-saving tools. Reports and CSV exports, including QuickBooks, Xero, and Wave files, are included on the free plan.
Is there a free trial for Pro?
Yes. Fjordbill Pro Monthly ($7.99/month) and Fjordbill Pro Yearly ($49.99/year) each include a 7-day free trial, billed through Google Play or the App Store. You can keep using the free plan if you cancel.
Do I need an account?
No. Fjordbill does not require a Fjordbill account or a Fjordbill cloud. Your documents stay on your device.
