Invoice by Alto

Open your phone after a client meeting and bill the work before you leave the parking lot. Invoice by Alto is built for that kind of momentum. Start by adding your company details, logo, tax rules, and preferred currency once. Create items or services with preset prices, then add clients from your contacts. From there, draft a polished estimate or invoice in minutes. Email it, share a secure link, or let clients view it in their portal to approve, download, or pay. Card and bank payments post back to the invoice, so you see the status change without manual updates.

If you bill for time, use Alto’s companion Time app to capture hours while you work. Start a timer for a client, switch tasks midstream, and attach notes or photos as proof of work. When the job wraps, select the timesheet and convert it into a detailed invoice with one import—rates, rounding, and taxes are applied automatically. Need to split hours across multiple projects or pass expenses through? Tag entries by project, add receipts, and build a clear bill your client can understand at a glance.

For ongoing services, set up recurring billing and let the schedule run itself. Define frequency, add line items, and choose accepted payment methods. Payment reminders go out before and after due dates, and failed charges trigger a dunning flow so you spend less time chasing cards. If a client prefers to pay offline, record the cash or check and keep your books in sync. For international work, invoice and collect in multiple currencies and keep tax calculations consistent with local rules. more
