Invoice Software Without Subscription for Freelancers

Pay once — use smarthours forever. No monthly fees, no subscription trap, full GoBD compliance.

💸

The Subscription Trap

Subscription software eats your margins month after month — even when you barely use it. smarthours breaks this cycle: one payment, permanent use.

📋

GoBD-Compliant — Without Compromise

Sequential invoice numbering, immutable archive, audit-proof credit notes and a 10-year retention period — smarthours is compliant with GoBD and EU Invoicing Directive 2006/112/EC out of the box.

Pay Once — Yours Forever

Standard freelancer tools don't justify a subscription. Pay €119.99 once and use smarthours as long as you want — no further costs, no price increases.
