"The 1-click quote to invoice conversion alone saves me hours every month. Plus, knowing exactly when a client opens my email means no more 'did you get my invoice?' texts."

Frequently Asked Questions

What's the difference between an invoice, a quote, and a payslip?
They're three different documents for three different moments in your business. A quote (or estimate) is a proposed price you send before the work starts. An invoice is a request for payment you send once the work is done. A payslip (or pay stub) is a record of what you paid an employee or contractor for a specific pay period. SmoothLedger generates all three from one account, and lets you convert an accepted quote directly into an invoice.
Can one tool really handle invoicing, quoting, and payroll together?
Yes. SmoothLedger isn't three separate apps bolted together — it's one dashboard with a free invoice generator, quotation generator, and payslip generator built in. Your saved clients, business profile, and branding carry across all three, so you're not re-entering the same details in three different places.
Is SmoothLedger actually free, or is that a trial?
It's genuinely free, not a time-limited trial. The free plan lets you create up to 10 documents a month across invoices, quotes, and payslips combined, with no credit card required and no expiration date. SmoothLedger Pro is an optional upgrade for businesses that want unlimited documents, saved clients, and full white-label branding — but the free plan itself never runs out.
Do I need a credit card to get started?
No. You can create an account and start generating invoices, quotes, and payslips without entering any payment details. A credit card is only needed if you choose to upgrade to SmoothLedger Pro.
Can I convert an accepted quote into an invoice automatically?
Yes — with SmoothLedger Pro, you can turn an accepted quote into a ready-to-send invoice in one click, without retyping any of the client details or line items. On the free plan, you can still create both documents; you'll just build the invoice separately once the quote is approved.
Is my business and client data secure?
Yes. If you use SmoothLedger as a guest, your data is processed locally in your browser and never sent to our servers. If you create a free account, your business, client, and payroll data is encrypted and securely synced to our cloud so you can access it from any device.
Can I use SmoothLedger on my phone?
Yes. SmoothLedger is fully mobile-responsive, so you can build and download an invoice, quote, or payslip from your phone's browser — handy for billing a client or running payroll while you're away from your desk.
Who is SmoothLedger built for?
Freelancers, contractors, and small service businesses — anyone who needs to send a professional invoice or quote and occasionally run payroll for a small team, without paying for a full accounting platform they don't need.
Does SmoothLedger work outside the US? Can I use different currencies and tax rules?
Yes. You can select from all major global currencies and label taxes however your region requires — VAT, GST, PAYE, sales tax, or a custom name — on invoices, quotes, and payslips alike.
How is this different from building documents in Word or Excel?
A Word or Excel template still requires you to do the math and formatting by hand every time. SmoothLedger calculates totals, tax, and deductions automatically, remembers your client and business details for next time, and exports a polished PDF in seconds instead of minutes.
What does SmoothLedger Pro add, and how much does it cost?
SmoothLedger Pro is $12/month and unlocks unlimited invoices, quotes, and payslips, unlimited saved clients and employees, 1-click quote-to-invoice conversion, direct email sending with read tracking, PayNow payment links, payroll roll-forward, and full white-label branding with all premium templates. The free plan covers everything you need to get started; Pro is for when you're billing and running payroll every month.
