## What it is
Invoice Ninja is a source-available invoicing application for freelancers and small businesses, covering invoices, quotes, expenses, projects, time tracking, and online payments. It is built with Laravel and Flutter, and can be used as a hosted SaaS or self-hosted with full control over the server.

## Use cases
- create and send invoices to clients
- accept online payments via stripe or paypal
- track billable time and convert tasks to invoices
- manage recurring invoices and auto-billing
- send quotes and proposals with e-signature approval
- track expenses and import bank transactions
- self-host an invoicing app for my business
- give clients a branded portal to view and pay invoices

## When to choose
- you are a freelancer or small business needing invoicing, quotes, and payments in one tool
- you want a self-hosted alternative to commercial invoicing SaaS
- you need time tracking, projects, and expense management alongside invoicing
- you require multi-currency, multi-language invoicing with customizable templates
- you want e-invoicing and PEPPOL network access

## When to avoid
- you need a fully open-source (OSI-approved) license - the code is source-available with restrictions
- you only need simple one-off invoices without projects or payments
- you want to remove branding without paying for a white-label license
- you need deep accounting features like double-entry bookkeeping - use dedicated accounting software
