automatically. For US Sales Tax, enter your state rate (e.g., 6.25% for Texas).
For Indian GST, it automatically splits into CGST and SGST. The subtotal, tax amount,

What should I include in my freelance invoice?
A professional freelance invoice should include: your

date, detailed description of services, quantity/hours, rate, subtotal, applicable
taxes, and total amount due. BilluApp includes all these fields and calculates totals
automatically.

templates, AI invoice generation, and invoice history. The Growth plan adds multi-currency

look professional and on-brand. The logo appears at the top of your invoice on all
templates.

clean minimalist designs to bold modern layouts. The free Minimal template is great
for getting started. Upgrade to Starter or Growth to access all 12 premium templates
that make your invoices stand out.
What is the AI Invoice Generator?
The AI Invoice Generator (available on Starter and
Growth plans) lets you describe your project in plain English, and it automatically
fills out your invoice with the right line items, quantities, and prices. For example,
say "40 hours of web development at $75/hour" and it creates the invoice for you.
It even supports voice input.
Can I download invoices as PDF?
Yes! Click "Download PDF" to instantly download your
invoice as a professional PDF file. Email it to clients or print it for your records.
How does the phone camera invoice scanner work?
Tap "Scan Note" on the invoice page, then use your
phone camera to scan or upload a photo of a supply note, delivery challan, or order
list. BilluApp's AI-powered OCR reads the note and extracts every line item — description,
quantity, and unit — directly into your invoice. You review and edit the items before
they are added, then set prices in the invoice form. Free plan users get 2 scans
per month; Starter 50/month; Growth 99/month. Limits reset on the 1st of each month.
What languages does the invoice note scanner support?
The scanner reads English, Hindi, Tamil, Telugu, and
Kannada. It is particularly useful for trades, food supply businesses, construction,
and retail where handwritten challan and supply notes are common. Mixed-language
notes (e.g. English quantities with Hindi item names) are handled gracefully. For
best results, make sure the image is well-lit and the handwriting is reasonably
clear.
