We're frustrated
by invoicing.
So we did something about it.
01Invoicing software is broken.
Not technically. Technically, most invoicing tools work fine. They're broken in a different way: they assume you understand accounting. They assume you have time for administration. They assume your needs are the same as a company with a finance department. They're wrong.
02Complexity is not a feature.
Software companies often confuse complexity with power. More options, more settings, more menus, more features. But the freelancer who just finished a client project at 6 PM doesn't want options. They want to send an invoice in under five minutes. That's the real power.
03Swiss-standard. Globally useful.
Switzerland has a mandatory invoicing format, the Swiss QR-Bill, that most tools either don't support or bolt on as an afterthought. We built for that standard first. And because great software travels, we made it work for service businesses anywhere: 5 languages, CHF · EUR · USD, GDPR-compliant.
04The best UX is no UX.
When you log your hours in Heftli and then go to create an invoice, those hours should already be there, ready to become line items. You shouldn't have to think about it. You shouldn't have to copy anything. Administration should feel invisible.
05Small teams are not small businesses.
A two-person creative agency has the same professional obligations as a 50-person company. They need to invoice correctly. They need Swiss QR-Bills. They need to look professional. They just don't have the same budget or the same time. We built for them.
06We will stay focused.
We're not building an accounting system. We're not building a CRM. We're not building payroll. Every time we add a feature, we ask: does this make invoicing and time tracking simpler for our users? If the answer is no, we don't build it. That's a promise.
What this looks like in practice.
5 minutes to your first invoice
From account creation to a sent invoice with a valid Swiss QR-Bill. We timed it. It's five minutes.
Swiss QR-Bill. Not optional.
Every invoice. Every plan. Including free. Because it's the Swiss standard and you shouldn't have to pay extra for compliance.
5 languages. Full support.
German, French, Italian, Romanian, English. Not a translation toggle. Actual full support in every language, including the invoices themselves.
Time tracking that connects to invoicing
Your hours become line items. Automatically. The connection is the product.
Free forever plan, no tricks
Five invoices a month, forever. No credit card. No expiry. Because we want to earn your upgrade, not force it.
No accounting knowledge required
We'll never ask you about debits, credits, fiscal years, or chart of accounts. Those words don't exist in Heftli.
Give us 10 minutes. We'll give you back your Sunday evenings.
Create an account. Add your company details. Send a test invoice with a real Swiss QR-Bill. See if it's what you've been looking for. It's free, and always will be, for the basics.
No credit card · No expiry · Cancel nothing. There's nothing to cancel on the free plan.
Professional invoicing,
done right.
