Ask HN: Would you use if it were free?

Some of the features include: Client Integration: Adding your clients Products & Services: Add your products and services with pricing attached Estimates: Easily serve up an estimate. With the click of a button change it into an invoice Billing: Easy billing to any of your clients, save your invoice as a draft Automatically Recurring Billing (ARB): Simply set the client, date, billing cycle, and duration - add a not if need be and your all set. Your client will be sent a bill each and every cycle. You can also add staff to manage particular clients for you.

Would you use it if it: Two Plans: Plan 1) free to sign up and use and we only charged you 1.5% per transaction + $.25 - unlimited everything (clients, Plan 2) $15/month - no transaction fees/charges, unlimited use

Or

Monthly fee structure only such as: $5 per month - 3 clients, 25 transactions/mo $15 per month - 50 clients, 300 transactions/mo 25 per month - unlimited everything

Would love your feedback! Thanks HN

Depends totally on implementation and how different it is from all the other services/software that are similar.

I don't see the innovation in this - basically what you're describing is a somewhat basic automatic billing system.

True. Does have to be different. As it is very basic and simple (thats the point), its free to use - no monthly. Just a very small percentage collected per invoice.

No, most clients don't want to pay through custom pay systems.

Interesting point. I own another online retail business and all of my (500+ clients) pay me through it.
