The problem
Invoicing apps want a monthly cut of your business
You just need to bill a client. Instead you get a sign-up form, a free plan with a cap and a watermark, and a price that keeps going up.
A subscription to send a bill
Monthly plans for something you do a few times a month, with price rises along the way and cancellations that are harder than they should be.
Capped at a handful a month
Free plans that stop at 3 to 10 invoices a month, usually just as work picks up.
Someone else's logo on your bill
Watermarks on free invoices tell every client you didn't pay for your own paperwork.
Your clients in a stranger's cloud
Online-only invoicing keeps your clients, prices and income on someone else's servers, and you need the internet to send a bill.
Downloads you can't trust
Free "invoice generators" that come with pop-up ads, toolbars and installers that quietly add extras.
Tax maths left to you
Word and spreadsheet templates leave GST, VAT, discounts and rounding to you, and one wrong cell goes straight to the client.
Vow Invoice Maker fixes all of it.

FAQ
Questions about Invoice Maker
Is Vow Invoice Maker really free?
Yes. You can make 5 new documents a day for free, with all 7 document types, taxes, currencies, the live preview, PDF, print and email, and the Classic template. There are no watermarks, no ads and no sign-up, and re-saving, reprinting or re-emailing a document never counts again. Unlimited, a one-time $9.95 USD payment, removes the daily limit and adds 8 templates with your logo, the client list, payment tracking, recurring invoices and reports.
Does it upload my invoices or client details?
No. Everything is kept in one file on your own PC, with a dated automatic backup every day. There is no account and no cloud. You can back the file up anywhere you like and restore it with a click.
Does it handle GST and VAT?
Yes. There are 22 country presets, including Australian GST with "Tax Invoice" and ABN, New Zealand GST, UK and European VAT with reduced rates, Canadian GST, HST, PST and QST, Indian CGST+SGST and IGST, and US sales tax. You can use several taxes per document or line, compound taxes and tax-inclusive prices.
Can I email invoices from it?
Yes. Email opens a new message in your mail program, such as classic Outlook or Thunderbird, with the PDF already attached for you to check and send. With mail apps that can't take an attachment this way, the message opens and the PDF is shown ready to attach. The app never sends mail by itself.
Can I turn a quote into an invoice?
Yes. Convert a quote to an invoice, pro-forma invoice or purchase order in one click, and an invoice to a receipt, credit note or delivery note. Any document can also be duplicated.
How is it different from Invoice Simple, Invoice2go or FreshBooks?
Most invoicing apps are subscriptions or online-only, and their free plans are often capped per month or watermarked. Vow Invoice Maker is one $9.95 payment, works offline, keeps your data in one local file and previews exactly what prints. It also has compound and inclusive taxes, country presets, statements, recurring catch-up and accountant CSVs, which several of them lack or keep for higher tiers.
Can I carry on from my old invoicing app?
Yes. Numbering can continue from your previous app's last number, with your own pattern such as INV-2026-0001. With Unlimited you can also import your clients and items from CSV files.
Is it safe to install?
Yes. It is made and published by XTO Pty Ltd, an Australian company. The installer contains no ads, no toolbars and no bundled software, needs no administrator rights, and uninstalls cleanly from Windows Settings. Uninstalling asks before it removes your invoices, and the answer defaults to No.
