The best free alternative to Stripe Invoicing

Stripe Invoicing is shamelessly double-dipping into your bank account by charging a monthly subscription while forcing you to eat 3% of every paycheck you earn. Stop letting big tech pick your pockets twice and start keeping every cent of the principal you actually worked for.

Pro Tip: When moving away from Stripe, update your master service agreement to include a standard 'Convenience Fee' clause so clients are legally notified that credit card processing fees are passed through to them.

Frequently Asked Questions

How does MicroFreelanceHub save me more money than Stripe Invoicing?

Stripe Invoicing charges you a subscription fee AND forces you to pay the processing fees out of your profit. We offer a 'Pass-Through Fee' toggle that adds the 3.9% processing cost to the client's total, so you keep 100% of your money.

Isn't it unprofessional to charge clients for credit card fees?

It's unprofessional for Stripe to 'double-dip' on your hard work. Most high-end agencies and law firms pass these costs along; our toggle automates it so you stop losing $30-$50 on every $1,000 you invoice.

What happens after my first three free projects?

You can upgrade to our Pro Tier for a flat $29/month. Unlike Stripe Invoicing which keeps taking more as you grow, our flat fee combined with our fee-passing tool ensures your margins actually get better as you scale.
