Invoice / Billing for Small Teams

[OSS GAP] Invoice / Billing for Small Teams #too-expensive #self-hosted #solo-founder #ecommerce

Pain: FreshBooks / Harvest at $15-30/mo just to send invoices. Solos and micro-businesses don’t need accounting software — they need a PDF and a payment link.

Why now: Small teams in 2026 are actively cutting tool spend. “Invoice / Billing for Small Teams” is a category where the paid incumbents are priced for companies far larger than the actual buyers.

Tiny wedge: Invoice + payment links for solos and small shops without FreshBooks fees.

Why this wins: Replaces recurring FreshBooks spend with a boring self-hosted alternative most teams can actually run and understand.

Stack: Node.js + SQLite + PDF generation + Stripe payment links.
