NeatDue

NeatDue — Minimal invoices. Professional PDFs. No accounting bloat.

A minimalist invoice builder for freelancers, consultants, and small service businesses who just need to send a clean invoice and get paid — not manage a P&L.

The origin: I used a free invoice tool for years until it forced a required field I didn't want (client's email printed on the PDF, no way to turn it off). Built my own instead, used it privately for six months on real client work, then rebuilt it as a proper multi-user product.

What it does:

• Clients, invoices, line items, custom fields, multi-currency, clean PDF export

• Free no-signup generator (neatdue.com/invoice-generator) if you just need one invoice now

• Free tier: 5 invoices/month, 3 clients. Pro ($9/mo or $59/yr): no limits, no watermark, custom logo

Stack: Next.js, Firebase Auth, MongoDB, Paddle for billing.

Growth experiment: going SEO-only — no ads, no cold outreach. Sharing real numbers as the site gets indexed, including the unglamorous early ones.
