FreeMaker - Invoice Maker
rating aligns with reviewsThe app creates invoices quickly and cleanly new users get up to speed in minutes. The main issue: after introducing a hard paywall (5 invoices a year free, then up to £165 per year), loyal users felt the rules had changed on them. Landscape mode on iPad has been broken for several months.
89% five-star ratings with textAvg 4.71 suspiciously high, but review details are specific and varied. The skew likely reflects satisfied users who silently rate 5 while dissatisfied ones (who left after the paywall) never come back to review. Probably organic across two different cohorts.
A mismatch is an analytical signal, not proof that the rating was manipulated.
What users love
- Invoice creation speed: logo
- Line items
- Total
- PDF all in a few taps. The result looks professional without tweaking any templates.
What users hate
- Editing an already-sent invoice does not update the document on the client's end you have to screenshot and resend manually. iPad in landscape mode with a keyboard doesn't work. A limit of 5 invoices a year makes the free tier pointless.
Who it is for
Freelancers and micro-contractors with a small client flow who need a polished PDF invoice in two minutes and are willing to pay for a subscription.
