Forgotten timers cost you real money
Freelancers lose an average of 3.4 billable hours per week by forgetting to start and stop manual timers. At $100/hour, that's $1,400 gone every month.

The real cost of manual billing
Fragmented tools are costing you thousands
Freelancers using separate time tracking and invoicing tools lose an average of 3.4 billable hours per week and spend 36% of their work time on admin. That math doesn't add up.
Invoice prep takes hours, not minutes
Manually reconciling Toggl exports with Wave invoices eats 2-4 hours per month — time you could be billing. Clients dispute hours you can't prove.
Chasing payments is exhausting
74% of freelancers face late or non-payment. Sending awkward follow-up emails doesn't scale, and bank wires take days to clear.
How FlowBill works

Automatic Browser-Extension Tracking
A Chrome/Firefox/Edge extension passively monitors your active tabs and maps them to projects using URL rules you define. Idle detection, daily review panel, and zero manual timer interactions.
One-Click Invoice Generation
Every approved hour and expense populates into a branded invoice draft in seconds. Edit line items, apply discounts, and send with a Stripe payment link — all in under 60 seconds.
Client Payment Portal
Clients receive a secure, branded link where they can view the time entry breakdown behind every line item and pay by credit card, ACH, or Apple Pay — no account required.
OCR Receipt Scanning
Photograph a receipt on mobile and AI-powered OCR auto-extracts the merchant, date, and amount in under 5 seconds. Mark it billable and it appears as a line item on the next invoice.
Project Budget Tracking
Set hourly or fixed-price billing per project with a budget cap. Get an alert at 80% so you never overrun scope, and see real-time burn alongside tracked hours.
CRM-Lite Client Management
Store client details once and they auto-populate on every invoice. See total billed, outstanding balances, and full invoice history per client at a glance.
