How do consultants invoice retainers?
Invoice the retainer in advance at the start of each period as a single line item, and bill any work beyond scope as separate hourly or fixed-fee lines.
FAQ
What's the difference between an invoice and a receipt?
An invoice requests payment; a receipt confirms payment was received. Mark an invoice "Paid" in the notes if you need it as a record.
Can I invoice a client in another currency?
Yes — choose the currency (USD, EUR, GBP, AED, BHD, CAD, AUD, INR) and amounts are formatted accordingly.
Is InvoiceSnap free?
Yes. You can fill in the invoice and download a watermarked preview PDF free with no signup. A clean PDF is $4 one-time for 7 days of unlimited invoices (USDC; card coming soon).
Is my data uploaded?
No. The PDF is generated in your browser; your client and pricing details are not sent to a server.
